Here is the Tele week of wonders:
translated How Many Longonberries Are There in the World?
A sleeper on Swedish cinemas, about a guy who tries to help the unabled with Downs syndrome to be part of society in a positive way.
I thought it was a very sweet movie, but I've also read critics that thinks it exploited the disabled for entertainment too.
I see this as an update of old 1940's boxing movies with a gender reversal twist and set in a modern era.
That's how I see it!
It's one of those movies that sadly doesn't get better with each viewing.
Edward van Sloan was never like this!
To be be frank I didn't like this at all, it's a kind of too much action needs even more action, and on top of that even more action, it just becomes too much. Since it became a worldwide hit I must be wrong, or too old fashioned since I like when characters are etched out and not portrayed as caricatures.
Action wise it was OK but uninteresting.
Since I've seen others watching this movie lately, so why not revisiting it again myself.
There is a reason why this movie is famous! It develops a story nice and calmly that will eventually end in a showdown, just like any duell in any old western, or even further back like St George and the Dragon.
We need dangers that we can beat, then we go to sleep and feel good.
A Jaws with Frogs! I wish it was but it's actually a rather lousy movie. Not just because the titled terorizing frogs isn't actually frogs but toads.
The story is about a rich guy living on an island in Florida who polutes, and slowly (and on a cheap budget) nature takes revenge.
It's not awful, but more in the worth a look category, if you care.
I have to admit that it more than one viewing to get into this movie, one of Vincent Price's best roles as the brutal devil worshipper, Lord of the Flies Prospero who thinks that his cult is safe in his caslte when the Red Death is plaguing, roaming and killing all living on the Italian coutryside.
Wonderful sets and use of colours.
Why not end horror month of October with one of my all time favorits, and I did.
Horror, science fiction, love story, black comedy, it's all that at the same time, since it bridges over all categories.
The monster is still there, but he is actually not the worst monster in this movie.
10)10 and that is how I feel, instead of writing a couple of more metres, or yards... and bore you!
ahh, those glue together plastic kits....
Until next ttime, I will enjoy seeing what all others have seen...
