Area 51

I’m not even going to rate this schlocky sci-fi/horror flick. It would be misleading. It’s bad in a so bad, it’s good for MST3K kind of way. Though it came out of the After Dark Original series, which does produce some good stuff, this is just funny cluster rip-off of so many movies. It’s just missing some T & A and cussing. Horrible creature effects (what’s with the walking sticks, the eyes and teeth?). I busted out laughing at the good friendly Alien. And yet a third Alien that in it’s normal state is some guy in only skin and veins without a face.

A mess with some incredibly bad acting.

The Woman In Black



Hammer Studio's was founded in 1939 but did not really create until the 1950's, producing some very classic and iconic Gothic films. Some horror. They ceased production around the 1980's. Recently they restarted with various backing, with full intent to recapture what made them so successful.

The Woman in Black is not the first film by Hammer. Actually it's the 5th, but by far the most successful. I think Daniel Radcliff helped in associating a star to these relatively unknown films. Hammer produced 4 others since 2008. I've seen one, Wake Wood, but was not impressed.

The Woman In Black is dripping with long forgotten creepiness. It builds so wonderfully to some very chilling moments. I counted three times, scenes that ran a chill through me and my hair stood up. It just sucked me in so well. The movie is rich with black, whites and shadows. With crystal clear colors that paint each scene with a mood. Daniel Radcliff's character is rather laid back but with the help of Cirian Hinds as his accomplish to stop the Woman In Black, for unknown reasons, but evident in his actions.

I think Woman In Black does a great job of taking the gothic feel and updating current viewers expectations. The era is the early 1900's but the characters would be perfectly fine in today's world.

For some good ol scary fun, check it out.

Blackthorn



Blackthorn is Butch Cassidy. So that's the proposition here is that both Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid survived the shoot out, escaped and left for Bolivia. Only it's 30 years later with Butch Cassidy's story. Through a variety of flashbacks we see what happened to the Sundance Kid.

Becoming James Blackthorn to hide is identity is only the tip of the iceberg. It becomes very clear through the movie, Butch Cassidy understands his past mistakes are still pursuing him and he's tired of it. Regretting so many things. Don't compare this to the original movie. No comparisons what so ever. This is pure drama.

Taking place in Bolivia, I was blown away at the scenery. This has been one of the more crystal clear DVD's I've watched in a long time. It looked HD. The whole episode of the chase on the largest Salt Flat in the world was truly fascinating.

I'm not a huge fan of cowboy movies, but since I really liked Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid, I thought this would be fun to check out. It is. I highly recommend picking it up.
