Thanks for the heads up........I found a stack of his films for free on the wonderful Bing Video site yesterday....I saw "Pit & The Pendulum" at the cinema about five years ago and it was great--Vincent Price playing up to the camera was so funny....I have saved some of the Edgar Allan Poe films.....V P was a fantastic actor.

You prompted me to watch Corman's 'Masque of the Red Death' again. It has so much in common with Bergman's 'Seventh Seal'. Ironic that the latter is, rightly imo, regarded as one of the all time greats whereas 'Masque' is written off as a typical Corman cheapie.

SS is great of course, but I really I love Masque too. The bit where they're running through the different coloured rooms is great, and the cloaked death figures used to really creep me out as a kid. It's Corman's best film IMHO.

Quadrophenia (1979) - Sting was actually quite cool in his day

Such a great film. Love the scene where all the mods are bouncing to 'Green Onions' in the club.

Re-watched Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz over the last 2 nights. Enjoyed them both, but Shaun is way better than the over-long HF I reckon. Going to complete the 'Cornetto Trilogy' over the weekend - never seen The World's End before so looking forward to that.

Yes, the superb photography was by Nicholas Roeg who went on to direct classics like 'Don't Look Now'. Like you, I think it's Corman's best. I believe he is still with us, getting on for his century.

Dune part one. Quite a spectacle

[Tangled up in Blue]

Saw a little gem of A British film earlier at the Moncine cinema in Bezeirs starring Timothy Spall & Olivia Colman.i N ote from the Grauniad review it got a Uk release in Feb.Needless to say it hasn't had a release in Barna yet.

Wicked Little Letters review – a deliciously sweary poison-pen mystery

The true tale of a foul-mouthed scribbler in 1920s Sussex is given nuance by a stellar cast including Olivia Colman, Jessie Buckley, Anjana Vasan and Timothy Spall

Imagine so with that release date.Can't say I've seen it though.

 

[Napster]

is this the 1984 film?

No. Because that is just called Dune. Dune Part Two came out recently.

This is yet another film directed by Roger Corman but it is in a different class to his cheapies....It stars The Clown Prince Of Horror Vincent Price.

On the subject of cameramen, interesting that on the other Corman/Poe films it was David Crosby's father Floyd.

The Corman/Poe films are excellent.

Quadrophenia (1979) - Sting was actually quite cool in his day

Sting will always get a pass from me just for being The Ace Face.

 

[Mad Cyril]

Saltburn. Thought I would hate it. Really enjoyed it.

Vincent Price stars in this silly comedy/horror flick

 

[BALDY]

Watched Shaft yesterday, Samuel L. Jackson version. Can’t believe I’ve missed this one. It got panned by critics but I actually thought it was pretty decent, cheesy at times but enjoyable nonetheless. At least an 8/10 from me.
