Heh heh, Banjo. That should have been my “line to listen for.” He certainly wasn’t a roaring giant. Is this the movie we watched when you came through town recently?

Goldcoaster: I’ve not read it, though it is definitely on my list. In fact, coincidentally, I put it on my Amazon.com Wish List shortly before finding the DVD at a local department store.

Thanks for your support. I’ve gotten rusty, and it’s going to take awhile to get in the swing of things, but it’ll be a fun ride!

Great review again, Mark. Good stuff and back to your best.

Have you read the book this is based on as it seems like a decent story?

I think I apreciate them more now, sometimes just as kitch fun, but other times from a surrealist perspective. I like studying their subtext.

You know, Mariana, when I was watching the movie I didn’t notice the yellow tint to her teeth (I assume we’re talking about the Pamela Franklin image). But after I posted the screen capture I thought, “Man, those teeth are almost green!” Funny that you caught that, too. She actually looks quite pretty in the film itself.

It’s a pleasure to link to you, Mariana. I notice you actually have quite a bit of horror-related material on your site now!

Those are some yellow teeth! I recognize Irene Adler (Gayle Hunnicut) from the Sherlock Holmes tv series. She’s terrific! And thanks for the linkage! I’ll return it.

It’s good to be back, chum! I’m afraid I’m a little rusty yet, but I’ll knock off the rough corners as I go along. I’d certainly watch this with you sometime. With October approaching it would be an ideal time for a Creature Feature!

Woohoo! I’m very excited that you are back, friend! Very nice review. I thought I had seen this years ago, but now I’m not so sure. Maybe we should watch it sometime?!
