Here’s what else has been going on in the Muriel-sphere these past few days:
Simon Abrams looked at The Makioka Sisters, Good Neighbors, and Delhi Belly.
Danny Baldwin can’t quite forgive Nic Cage his Trespass. If only he’d remembered his lucky crack pipe…
Andrew Bemis got up close and personal with a little bloodsucker, a big dude with a strange orb, and the world’s least popular acupuncturist.
Sean Burns left his Sunday shoes on for Footloose and capsulized
Steve Carlson gave us the rundown so far on his Horror Challenge.
Chris Devlin also tackled his own Horror Challenge, including such one-word titles as Funhouse, Dagon, Madhouse, Splinter, and Creep.
Jim Emerson got under Almodovar’s Skin.
James Frazier cut Midnight in Paris down to size.
Kenji Fujishima checked out some confused young girls at NYFF.
Daniel Johnson found plenty to enjoy in Tucker and Dale vs. Evil.
Craig Kennedy- holy crap, dude. I won’t even itemize these posts, since he’s been so busy. Just check ‘em out already.
Uncle Crizzle saluted the Black’n’Dekker cult classic Monster Squad.
Lucas McNelly didn’t just have one of those days- he had two.
Allison Willmore had something to say about Trespass, Happy Life, Big Year, and Fireflies in the Garden, a movie that stars Julia Roberts, Ryan Reynolds and Willem Dafoe but which seemingly no one had ever heard of until this week.
Finally, this trailer’s long been a guilty pleasure of mine, thanks in large part to James Mason’s narration. Dude was such a pro that he didn’t even have a problem with crediting Pat freakin’ Boone above himself when reading off the cast, to say nothing of being billed alongside a duck. Granted, Journey to the Center of the Earth isn’t much of a movie- hell, it’s not even the best Jules Verne adaptation Mason ever appeared in- but no doubt it paid Mason well enough to star in movies in which he played crazed morphine addicts, not to mention literature’s favorite pedophile. Check it out:
Oh, and for the morbidly curious, here’s our very own Uncle Crizzle in his cinematic acting debut!
