Re: rate the last movie you saw
The shorter cut silent "King Of Kings" and "Risen" conclude this year's Holy Season viewing for me (I compensated for skipping "Ben Hur" by listening to the score during my lengthy walk around the neighborhood). Didn't watch quite as much as I did in the past but again,...

Re: STAR WARS: ICONS UNEARTHED Documentary with Rare Marcia Lucas Interview
Decided to order it. Should be interesting.
It is no coincidence that Lucas has not had one bona-fide cinema classic post-original SW trilogy IMO.

Re: Disney's OMEN Prequel - April 5th
Oh I'm sure they do. And just how in the world do you get a "prequel" out of this unless we're going back to an ancestor of Bugenhagen killing previous would-be sons-of-Satan? The funny thing is people really don't get why "The Omen" was such a hit in its time. It struck a chord ...

Re: rate the last movie you saw
Got through "Jesus Of Nazareth" yesterday followed by "Passion Of The Christ." I think unfortunately "Ben Hur" will be missing the cut as tomorrow I will set aside for the shorter organ-score version of the silent "King Of Kings" and "Risen" to compl...

Re: rate the last movie you saw
Added "Barabbas" and "The Greatest Story Ever Told" to my viewing. The former, I am tempted to do my own commentary track for at some point to compensate for that disgraceful one on the Imprint Blu-Ray. GSET despite the poor transfer of the current Blu-Ray at least looks better o...

Re: rate the last movie you saw
I got my despecialized editions six or seven plus years ago. Someone who is no longer here gave me grief about that. But as far as I'm concerned, if George Lucas wants to play this game of irresponsibility to historic preservation simply to cheat his ex-wife out of royalty money (I am 1000% convince...

Re: This Week's Aisle Seat - Kino Lorber March Wrap, GHOSTBUSTERS New & Revisited
Re: "The Lincoln Conspiracy" Andy, and your comment, "I’m certainly not versed enough in the history to state whether or not its claims have any merit at all!" I can assure you they don't. In fact they were discredited back in the late 70s and early 80s when a team of professiona...

Re: rate the last movie you saw
Interestingly, Jay Robinson became a born-again Christian in the 70s after his life had bottomed out with drug use and a brief jail sentence. His autobio that came out at the time goes into that in detail (though I can't vouch for whether he stuck to it the remaining decades of his life). Part of th...

Re: rate the last movie you saw
Ironically, Bernstein never did get an Oscar for one of his great scores. His only one came from scoring adaptations and arrangements for "Thoroughly Modern Millie." I'll agree that it's unfortunate "Passion" doesn't have the kind of memorable score that the epics of an earlier e...

Re: rate the last movie you saw
Well, I'm working my way into Holy Week viewings once again (it's hard to prepare when its happening so early this year!). I have already taken care of the only OT movies I intend to watch this year. The Bible (1966) The Ten Commandments (1923) The Ten Commandments (1956) "The Bible" just ...

Re: rate the last movie you saw
I saw it in the theater last Thanksgiving night (my first post-COVID theater experience) and I was struck by how this movie's obsession over showing Josephine's inability to have an heir meant that the film never explains just WHY is Napoleon invading other countries? What's his reason? What was his...

Re: Commentary Tracks - The Good, The Bad & The Unlistenable
And another commentary track gets the shutoff from me due to a political intrusion and this time sadly it came from someone whose work I've liked in previous efforts. Tim Lucas did a truly great commentary on "One Million Years B.C" that treated the film respectfully and without snark that...

Re: SUPERGIRL (1984) Improved German Blu-Ray
Glad you found it interesting, Chris! Part of the problem with the Bianca character is that in the earlier drafts when they were writing Selena with Parton in mind as the good girl made bad, Bianca was a major domo figure type from the coven helping her get comfortable in her powers etc. and not a c...
