I completely agree -was a very enjoyable film until then. Just the beginning of Spielberg's saccharine film-making.

Screamtime (1983)

"This "Creepshow"-style anthology features a trio of short slasher flicks: the tale of a puppeteer who gets revenge on his family; the story of a woman whose murderous visions become all too real; and the tale of a thief and a sinister garden gnome. Loosely connecting the three films is the grim fate of two punks who steal these movies from a local video store. Contributing directors include Stanley A. Long and Michael Armstrong."

Scatter's Take.........Typical 80s cheeze. I generally like horror anthologies, and I like this one too for what it is. 5 bananas.

The Wolfman (remake)


Ack...such a horrible movie.  I don't like the idea of The Wolfman going on rampages where he kills tens of people at a time...the moon unleashes a person's inner beast, not their inner madman.  It's a subtle difference and one most all werewolf movies fall victim to but I think the book, "Return of the Wolfman" does it best.....a werewolf must kill, but it's usually only a victim or two a night.  A werewolf enjoys the hunt, and needs the blood and flesh of it's victims for food but being a werewolf isn't all about killing...it's more about power and freedom.  The animal part of the brain goes into hyper drive and kills everything that it believes makes it weak or stops it from being able to do whatever it wants, lovers/ friends...so it does enjoy the hunt, it also relishes the oppurtunity to kill the people the human host cares about.  I think a werewolf also, oddly enough, welcomes just being left alone to roam like an actual dog, abeit a hound from hell for the majority of the night too, again, as in "Return of the Wolfman" and in a way the original "Wolfman" as well..

My own personal take on werewolves non-withstanding...this movie has so many problems.  As much as I like the make up, it doesn't always work...I think some of it's del Toro's fault...Chaney was more stoic, reserved but you could tell he was brimming with anger under the surface but he didn't overplay it, he kept it subdued and he was horrifying (especially when compared to his care free and layed back human personality)...del Toro's Wolman constantly has odd expresions on his face and walks around like a mouth breather...which doesn't have the desired effect (I'm guessing they were going for the way a dog breathes with its mouth open/ it helps show off his fangs more I guess) but instead looks absurdly humorous at times. 

The characters are paper thin and unlikable and the father/son story line stinks of modern writers thinking too much about "sprucing up old ideas" with obtuse, idiotic sub plots that add nothing to the story as a whole and ultimately just make the movie more lenghty and break up the narrative flow. 

I'm glad the director recently said he pretty much made this movie for the money.  He didn't feel like there was enough prep time, and he felt the script wasn't there apparently but he takes all the blame for the movie...he's a competent director though and I still have high hopes for his next film "Captain America."

The last couple of weeks I've watched:
"Frankenstein" (made for TV 2004): this is the Hallmark version of the story. While it is largely faithful to the original novel, I was kinda underwhelmed by this movie. The Monster was presented more as a Goth kid than as the Monster we've all come to know and love, and frankly the movie is just too darned long at 204 minutes.
"The Last Dinosaur" (1977): goofy hokum brought to you by Rankin/Bass and Tsubaraya Prouductions. It's mindless fun for all fans of kaiju and dinosaurs, although watching Joan Van Ark make out with Richard Boone was just painful
"Robocop 2" (1990): weak sequel to the much-better "Robocop". Too many loose plot threads, too little Robocop
"Robocop 3" (1993): weakest link in the "Robocop" series. While less convoluted than the previous film, it was obvious that most of the cast was just phoning it in.
