In the early years of the Walt Disney animation studios, while part of the company was focusing on building up the iconic characters that would earn Disney his reputation, another part of the studio was cranking out the Silly Symphonies series. These are short cartoons (generally about six minutes, but sometimes nearing ten) that are exactly what they sound like: humorous narratives set to music. Though these cartoons did not focus on recurring characters, some of the more famous Disney institutions sprang from them. Donald Duck got his start here, and the Silly Symphonies version of the Three Little Pigs still endures in the public consciousness as one of the more dominant renditions of the story.
There were seventy-five Silly Symphonies in all. This is …Read the entire review

The Slaughter of the Vampires The Slaughter of the Vampires (La Strage dei vampire, 1962) is a handsomely-made Italian vampire film whose first two-thirds is closely modeled after Hammer Films’ seminal Gothic, Horror of Dracula (1958). Energetically directed by screenwriter Roberto Mauri (The Invincible Gladiators, King of Kong Island), it adds little to the genre but is entertaining nonetheless. Dark Sky’s all-region presentation is excellent, and includes an “Interview with the Vampire” himself, German actor Dieter Eppler, featured in many krimi films, including Hand of the Gallows, The Death Ray of Dr. Mabuse).
Walter Brandi stars as Wolfgang, a happily married man living with wife Louise (Graziella Granata) in a renovated castle, where the unnamed vampire-on-the-lam (Eppler) is hiding out in a wine cellar. Soon after the film begins, Louise falls under the vampire’s sexu…Read the entire review

It was the year of magic at the movies, and not just the on screen, cinematic kind. Hollywood reconnected with prestidigitation in a big way, releasing two competing looks at slight of hand and the fine art of fooling an audience. One was Christopher Nolan’s follow-up to his critically acclaimed and wildly popular take on the Batman mythos, the other was an under the radar effort by an unknown filmmaker responsible for a well received docu-drama on the JFK assassination. When the box office figures were finalized, and all the journalistic opinions were tallied, one effort clearly came out on top. And it’s not the one you’d think. Indeed, while The Prestige raked in $52 million in receipts, it was offset by a $40 million budget. The Illusionist, on the other hand, seemed to get better notices (the Rotten Tomato ranking difference between the two is negligible however…Read the entire review
The Film:
Determined to put an end to the misery that has been tormenting the Parondi family in the Sourthern village of Lucania Rosaria (Katina Paxinou) and her sons Rocco (Alain Delon), Simone (Renato Salvatori), Ciro (Max Cartier), Luca (Rocco Vidollazi) pack their belongings and head to Milan. There they will meet the only Parondi who has been living away from the family: Vincenzo (Spiros Focas).
Upon arrival in Milan, however, the Parondis quickly discover that making ends meet will be just as difficult. There are no jobs, housing is expensive, cold winter has seized the North. But Milan is a big city, a rich city! Someone, somewhere, must need an extra pair of hands!
Simone is the fist one to land a job. A local scammer offers the southerner a deal he can not resist: boxing for cash. Without thinking much the proud Parondi accepts and soon money start coming his way. And…Read the entire review

I For India The Movie I realize I’m probably setting myself up for a fair amount of crap by opening a review with a quote from Garden State, but for all of the not-so-transparent emotional manipulation director Zach Braff indulges in, there was one line of dialogue that’s stuck with me ever since I saw the film two years ago and not so coincidentally spoken by Braff’s character, Andrew Largeman: “You know that point in your life when you realize that the house you grew up in isn’t really your home anymore … all of a sudden, even though you have some place to put your shit, that idea of home is gone … or maybe it’s like this rite of passage … you will never have that feeling again until you create a new idea of home for yourself, for your kids, for the family you start; it’s like a cycle or something … maybe that’s what family really is … a group of people that miss the same imagin…Read the entire review
