Hellraiser III: Hell on Earth (1992)
Hellraiser III
If I were writing an encyclopedia and it came to the point where I had to explain extreme special effects overkill, all I'd have to do is recommend this movie, particularly the last half hour of it.
Up until the last half hour, it seems like a pretty good movie (I haven't seen the other ones), it had the gore and suspense of any great horror movie, but after Pinhead says "I'm going to enjoy making you bleed", that's where you can really tell that they were still under-budget and went on a spending spree. The effects were so overdone that I ended up laughing through most of the end.
I didn't notice too many continuity errors tho, the only one I can think of off bat is when Terri is running from Pinhead, the fire hydrant blows off and floods the street and the power lines fall into the water and you can see the sparks in the water. She steps up onto the sidewalk to escape the water. After being attacked by wires from the storm drain, she goes running down the street somehow not getting electrocuted.
Whispering Whiskers (1926)
Good old-style
I have a 50's reprint of the original in 8mm film. Whenever I show it to anyone, I put on some Scott Joplin music in the background and that sets the mood pretty well. It just sets an atmosphere that you can't get by watching TV, or even going to the Movie theaters, it's the old style silent film, which, aside from any music you have in the background, all you hear is the sound of the projector. The copy I have was reprinted in the 50's in a series by Castle Films called "Old Time Comedies", I also have "S'Twos for the pot.
