This excellent follow-up to "Night of the Living Dead" could be viewed alternatively as a hardcore horror film or a one-joke movie. |
|
| 34 |

|
| 52 |
The Princess Bride (1987, PG) |
|
| 53 |
The Scarlet Empress (Catherine the Great) (1934, Unrated)
Filled with gargantuan sets that include hideous gargoyles and horrible statues of martyrs writhing in pain, this film is about as historically accurate as a Monty Python movie! But who cares??? Besides its monumental decors that seem straight out of a Gothic horror movie, "The Scarlet Empress" features Marlene Dietrich at her seductive best... And let's not forget Sam Jaffe as the demented Peter III! Watch out for the expression of glee on that maniac's face as he gets married to Catherine of Russia... YIKES!!! |

Heavy Metal (1981, R)
For those of you who thought that Betty Boop and Jessica Rabbit were as sexy as cartoon characters could get, here is a film that may well change the way you perceive animation. Indeed, "Heavy Metal" epitomizes the expression "sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll". Featuring extensive scenes of cartoon violence and lots of naked women, this is a far cry from "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs". |

Blade Runner (1982, R) |
|
| 188 |
Dune (1984, PG-13)
True: this film is a gross oversimplification of Frank Herbert's science fiction novel. True: it omits several vitally important details that are crucial to the comprehension of the story. True: "Dune" lacks suspense and fails to engage the viewer with its protagonists. True, true, true. |

Cinderella (1950, G)
In the Brothers Grimm's rendition of the classic fairy tale, Cinderella's wicked stepsisters are ready to do anything to fit their feet into the heroine's slipper after she loses it in her haste to leave the palace before the last stroke of midnight. One of them is so desperate, she cuts off her big toe with a knife in an attempt to fool the prince. Unfortunately for her, while on the way to the castle, two birds perched on a branch draw the prince's attention to the blood dripping from the slipper, thereby exposing the fraud. The second stepsister is equally determined to enter the royal family and chops off a bit of her heel. The same situation ensues: the prince mistakes her for Cinderella, rides off with her on his horse and she is unmasked by the same two birds. Delightful, isn't? Curiously, the scenes I just described are nowhere to be found in the Disney version. I wonder why... (devious wink) Needless to say, the Mickey Mouse company went for a more family-friendly approach, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. Beneath its sugar-coating, "Cinderella" is a masterpiece of fantasy and story-telling -- possibly the finest screen version of the tale that will ever be made. Lovable characters, enchanting musical numbers, a sumptuous palette and superb animation all contribute to the success of this remarkable achievement. Disney's "Cinderella" casts a spell which, unlike the Fairy Godmother's magic, remains undiminished by time. |
