Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare (1991)
If you like Freddy, respect him and stay away!
I've always tried to keep an open mind while watching the "Nightmare On Elm Street" movies. I enjoy Freddy Krueger very much, but this film was just too much. I've never really been a big fan of the second film, but I'll take it any day over this one. Freddy is reduced to a cackling, one-liner spewing machine. His makeup isn't even grotesque, anymore. The jokes are lame, the killings are lame, and the 3-D ending is REALLY lame. Stay away! One and a half stars out of four, just for effort.
The Song Remains the Same (1976)
You Can't Call Yourself a Zeppelin Fan Until You See This!
This movie ranks right up there with "Woodstock" as one of the greatest concert films ever made. The almost half-hour performance of "Dazed And Confused" is worth the price of admission, alone! Other highlights include a moody "No Quarter" (with considerable weight added by John Paul Jones' sinister fantasy sequence), the always dependable "Stairway To Heaven", Jimmy Page's Theremin doodling on "Whole Lotta Love", and the bow solo on "Dazed", which must be heard to be believed. The only down sides are "Moby Dick", John Bonham's drum solo, which drags on forever and had me fast-forwarding through its last ten minutes, and some of the fantasy sequences (especially Robert Plant's) which were a bit too pretentious, and belonged in something by Emerson, Lake, and Palmer. But aside from those minor setbacks, the film remains a definitive live document of one of the greatest bands in the history of Rock 'n' Roll.
Die blaue Hand (1967)
Spare yourself!!!!!
I bought this film for $9.99 at my local mall because I was intrigued by the scenes depicted on the back of the box, which made it look like a zombie film (I'm a sucker for those). Needless to say, I was absolutely horrified after I watched the film. Not that the film was scary, mind you, but because it was so dreadfully AWFUL! You should probably be warned that the zombie scenes featured in the film came from a different movie, and said movie has absolutely NOTHING to do with the rest of the film, which is a German film starring Klaus Kinski named "Die Blaue Hand" (The Blue Hand). Well, I no longer own the tape, and I have made it my personal mission to turn you good people away from this film and others like it. On a scale of 1-10, this is undoubtedly a 1!.
