Traffic

Re:Upcoming Movies Week of 8-29
By Puhnner in Coming Soon
"Mr. Skypilot, This post was really very well done! I appreciated how you were able to take the up-coming films and then give us the antecedent/precursor films; that was great! and an interesting way to set the possible expectations and why the antecedent/precursor(s) might be the better bet. I saw the preview for Traitor and a nice touch of you referencing Cheadle in Devil in a Blue Dress...I would mention Traffic too as a ( perhaps, but who knows until the film arrives ) similar drawn character. ( by the way, am I the only one that found the multi-part series Traffik, the far more interesting and finely drawn piece???) puhnner " [More]

Re:Ask the Doctor...Black Chris ...

"[quote user="Dr_Gor"] I think that there is only one killer in the original version and that is the never seen 'Billy' who lives in the attic... Keir Dullea is a 'red herring' that is thrown in front of the audience as a distraction. My question about this movie is 'Why didn't the cops check the attic?!?!' You would think... [/quote] Exactly, I just 'assumed' ( the great idiot maker, that activity ) that when the police officer/coroner said we removed 'all' the bodies, that yes that included the attic... I meant to replay the film and pause at the shot of the killer above Margot, but did not, to see if it was Smythe, my mind saw at as him, the red herring. Thanks for the reference to 'Billy'; I forgot to pull that in. I had the sense, that whoever that was, the killer, lived there in the house at one point and may have been placed (abused/sequestered/held) in the attic... a great and rich horror plot device/story line in itself. Do you know if any of the directors suc ... " [More]

Black Christmas

Re:Ask the Doctor...Black Chris ...
By Puhnner in HORROR MOVIES 101
"Dear Dr_Gor, I finally saw Black Christmas, a marvelous and thoroughly creepy film that must have been, when released, a complete jaw-dropper., From watching the special features, as a Canadian film it did very well there, it did not do well in the USA. I cannot see why though, considering how very good it is and a precursor to films such as Halloween. Certainly the censors probably excised most of the delightfully potty-mouthed Margot Kidder's best lines, but it did have the great John Saxon, and the fair fair Juilet (Olivia Hussey ) in the main role of Jessica. Come, gentle night, — come, loving black brow'd night, Give me my Romeo; and when he shall die, Take him and cut him out in little stars, And he will make the face of Heaven so fine That all the world will be in love with night, And pay no worship to the garish sun. she does not say this of 'Dr. Dave Borman', aka Peter Smythe, Keir Dullea, her soon to be ex-(in every sense of the word ) boyfriend; they had a falling ...

"What does not work, but seems so obvious, is especially as the group moderator, there should be automatic notification when new discussions are started and an automatic inclusion in all discussions started whether a group moderator or a group member. Then I can decide if I wish to participate in the discussion thread or not by subscribing to the thread. I dislike going along in my oblvious cocoon and then finding, 'what the hell' how long has this interesing discussion been going on???, the next time I visit the group. I would rather have to turn things off, than on. that is it for now, but thank you very much for asking " [More]

Men Behind the Sun

make no mistake
By Puhnner in Puhnner Blog
Was this review helpful? [Be the first to tell us!]
"Make no mistake about this film. It is grim and ghastly and I am not only talking about the transfer to DVD and the dubbing. All the characters talk with an inexplicable mock english accent, all vaguely similar, complete with the phrasing, delivery, and accentuation, but minus the farting noises, to Terrance and Philip's on Southpark. You will want to look away more than a few dozen times. What occured at Unit 731 matches or exceeds anything doled out in shovelfuls and the boatload during the WWII conflict and I suspect any other conflict, you wish to name. Then it all ended, and those in command of Unit 731, for the most part 'walked', much like some of the Germans, with their own newfound value, did too... thanks to the gobal cooling of the developing Cold War. Their crimes buried away somewhere, for the good of the national interests. see http://www.ww2pacific.com/unit 731.html and other sources on the Web and elsewhere for more information about this fun factory. As much as ... " [More]

"Damn! you are good Doc. as always, thank you for your scholarship I remembered reading this bit about our 'fair lady' a while back: http://rigint.blogspot.com/sea rch?q=hungarian+killers Thursday, October 19, 2006 Necromocracy (Part Two) "I have to question whether there is an evil force in the world and whether or not I have been influenced by it." - Jeffrey Dahmer.Much like Gilles de Rais, the sixteenth century Hungarian Countess Elizabeth Bathory is notorious for tearing apart young children to satisfy her sex-magical appetite. Her taste was for girls, more than 600 of them, and she was able to consume so many of them because it was only late in her career that she turned her desires to the daughters of her own kind. Down the hill, beneath her castle, villagers had "often claimed to have heard screams emanating from within this place, and they spoke of disappearing girls and of murder, but no one had dared approach the regal, 50-something countess until now.
