Freddy's Nightmares: No More Mr. Nice Guy (1988)
Contradictionally fun
I saw this episode (the first one, i guess the pilot) long time ago and i really enjoyed it. Despites that it's a contradiction of the story in the movies, of course, there's no Ronee Blakley or John Saxon (who's character is the one that leads the parents to make justice by their own hand) and replace this character with a daughter for one (a cop too) who has twins, one abused by Freddy. This character is played by Ian Patrick Williams (he was OK). The interesting is the fact that at the time is was made (1988) was the first time the fans of the Freddy's movies could see how Freddy was executed, something that in the films only was told always by a character. The films only show something similar in 1991, in the part 6. For horror fans, the cherry on the top is that this first episode was directed by Tobe Hooper ("The Texas chainsaw massacre (1974)") who get involve with a character like Freddy after have done his (at this time) last movie as a director with Leatherface 2 years before in "The Texas chainsaw massacre 2 (1986)". I must say that is really entertained and it's doesn't matter that if is a contradiction or not. After all, these are the Freddy's nightmares.
Too Commercial for Cannes (2006)
Very Interesting.
When i saw the DVD of A history of violence, i found with this little featurette (it last only 9 minutes) and i found it really interesting, because i always enjoy see the DVD extras with behind the scenes footage about how a movie was made, what the Cast and crew's opinions and how they made some of the key scenes in the movie. But almost never show to the people some footage about the premiers or (like in this case) the behind the scenes of the premiers of this film in a festival so prestigious like Cannes, and interesting things like the comments of David Cronenberg (A director with a long history in this festival) and how he was not sure of screen this movie there because he feel it too commercial. Of course, another interested things are the press conference, the check of sound and image before the screening and of course some footage took inside the theater when the lights were turned up after the screening and the standing ovation. If you can, see it, it just 9 minutes.
