The Abominable Dr. Phibes (1971, PG-13)
Great, campy fun. Gruesome deaths (including a great new reason to hate brussel sprouts), tongue-in-cheek dialogue, and Vincent Price and Joe Cotten. Dr. Phibes is the original Jigsaw (of the "Saw" flicks), with a lot more flair. I doubt you're ever going to see death by unicorn in any other horror flick. |

The Asphalt Jungle (1950, Unrated)
Solid, gritty crime drama PACKED with great performances. James Whitmore and Sterling Hayden stand out as down on their luck criminals, violence seething underneath them, but yet will go out of their way to feed a stray cat or provide a safe haven for a wayward dame. Sam Jaffe is great, and a young Marilyn Monroe is absolutely stunning. It's very clear why she became such a huge star from her small role in this. A dark, gripping heist story with a beautiful ending. As a fan of noir flicks, this is an excellent addition. |
