Saturday Morning: Cartoons' Greatest Hits (1995)
I'm not rating this
I didn't know that a video existed to this excellent album. Now, it's 2008 and the album came out in 1995. I used to work in a music store so this must have been pretty damn obscure even when it originally came out.
Yeah, you know, I have to agree with the other reviewer. Nothing really special here. You can view the Ramones video to this on youtube. It has Drew Barrymore and a few other folks watching the videos on TV and instead of talking in between the videos they frequently talk over the music ... I guess to remind us that they are still a part of this. Very annoying!!
But the album is worth checking into. Ramone's version of the Spider-man song is so much cooler than the one that was covered by Aerosmith for the Sam Raimi film. Sublime's version of Hong Kong Fooey is great. Frankly, it's earier for me to point out the weak points of the album because it's all pretty fun. The video ... not so much.
A Name for Evil (1973)
plot less, pointless but interesting
Much has been made of this movie's 'plot', or lack of one. The white horse is just not scary! The hippy scenes are dated and unintentionally humorous (I guess hippies love noodles). It could easily qualify for a Mystery Science Theater 3000 feature. But I really enjoyed the first thirty minutes or so of this movie. I liked the intro, and the photography is great. The dilapitated house in what appears to be the middle of nowhere is one of the more interesting settings I've ever seen in a ghost film. I like the fact that the caretakers wanted it to rot away. If they stayed away from the counter-culture movement and focused soley on telling a ghost story it would have been a better film.
The Alien Factor (1978)
what's up with some of these reviews?
This is a movie I caught on WBIR's late night horror show 'The Unknown Zone'. They showed movies at 11:30 on Friday nights in Tennessee. I've only seen this once and enjoyed it for what it was: a very cheesy movie! Haven't seen it since.
Some of these reviews are rather odd. It's almost as though a pitchman is working hard to sell a DVD of this movie. I don't know if that's the case but some of the stranger reviews are from guys who posted once on this entire website and that was it.
I remember the stop motion monster and I always thought he was suppose to have been transparent since he was invisible. But it could have been a goof. I can't really rate this film since I haven't seen it in twenty years.
