Curse of the Devil-1973

[Mord]

 Axed (2012) -
A man is fired from his job during an economic downturn. He realises the best solution is to take the wife and kids to the countryside...and kill 'em all (as Metallica would say). Very entertaining film about a family man who grows tired of his life and does something about it. I'm not judgmental of his actions. Hell ,  I'd probably do the same if I ever got stuck with an obnoxious family.

Mad Love (1935) - Lorre is awesome, as usual. I think this is one great little horror gem with numerous memorable scenes. Nice to see Colin Clive. He had such a short, tragic life.

Good call brother Mord. So I copied you 

Mad Love (1935)
The Return of Doctor X (1939)

[Monsters For Sale]

The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes, 1970 - Fifty years after his death, Dr. Watson's personal trunk is opened.  It contains an unpublished case.

Stars Robert Stephens, Colin Blakely, Geneviève Page and Christopher Lee.  Directed by Billy Wilder.

A cabbie drops off a beautiful woman who says she doesn't remember her own name at 221B Baker Street.  Holmes tries to unravel her tale.  It causes him to make contact with his brother, Mycroft and travel to Loch Ness.


Set in beautiful authentic locations.  Told in one huge flashback (no bouncing back and forth) with humor and much affection for the original stories.  Tongue-in-cheek movie deftly avoids sinking into silly slapstick.  Should please most Homes fans.


I liked this one a lot.

Hitch Hike to Hell-1977

[Monsters For Sale]

Topper, 1937 - Recently deceased couple must remain on earth until they perform a good deed for someone.  They choose to help Cosmo Topper - even if it kills him.

Roland Young, Cary Grant, Constance Bennett, Billie Burke and a 1936 Buick/Chrysler Roadster.

Pleasant comedy with decent special effects.  Grant and Bennett are charming ghosts and Roland Young gives a Weekend At Bernie's level physical performance as someone being push and pulled along by invisible hands.


No horrific apparitions, but I don't know how anyone could hate this little film.  I used to look forward to the times it played on TV when I was a kid.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________


Topper Takes a Trip, 1938 - One of the ghosts returns to earth to repair the damage to Topper's marriage that they did in the first movie - with mixed results.

Roland Young, Constance Bennett and Billie Burke.  (Cary Grant is seen briefly in a recap from the first film.)

A return to the Toppers' honeymoon hotel turns into a French comedy of misunderstandings.  The Topper films were produced by Hal Roach and distributed by Warner Brothers.  This movie repeatedly repeats a musical phrase that sounds suspiciously as if it were lifted from WB's Wizard of Oz - very distracting.


Not as bright as the original Topper, but OK.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________


Topper Returns, 1941 - Cosmo gives a lift to two young ladies.  One of them is murdered.  Her ghost seeks him out to help catch the murderer.

Roland Yound, Joan Blondell, Carole Landis, Billie Burke and Eddie "Rochester" Anderson.

Fun murder mystery that blends the Topper stories with something akin to the Charlie Chan movies that Warner Brothers was producing at the same time.


I don't care how dumb the setup sounds, this movie will entertain fans of Cosmo and Charlie.  So much better than the 2nd film.  Blondell shines in this one.

Sabrina(Chilling Adventures of)

I just binged Season 2 last night, got one episode left to go; I  felt the new episodes moved at a faster pace than the first batch.  Hopefully it keeps going.

The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes, 1970

Maybe my favorite Holmes film! Perfectly complimented by Miklos Rozsa's score!

A couple of other favorites from the '70s:
They Might Be Giants - 1971
The Seven-Per-Cent Solution - 1976

[Monsters For Sale]

Maybe my favorite Holmes film! [Private Life of Sherlock Holmes] Perfectly complimented by Miklos Rozsa's score!

The Seven-Per-Cent Solution - 1976

Yes indeed!  I love those as well.

Holmes seems fertile ground for humor.

How about:

Sherlock Holmes' Smarter Brother, 1975 - Silly, but OK
Without a Clue, 1988 - Michael Caine and Gandhi.

Without a Clue, 1988 - Michael Caine and Gandhi.

Fun twist of Doyle's characters!

The Seven-Per-Cent Solution - 1976

How about "Murder by Decree (1979)"? I thought that Christopher Plummer and James Mason made a great Holmes and Watson. Throwing in Jack the Ripper sweetened the deal.

[Mike Scott]

How about "Murder by Decree (1979)"?

How'd I forget that one? Classic! Directed by Bob Clark.

Bob Clark(R.I.P.) so many great films from the Auteur.
