Furthermore, Liza is visited by a blind specter named Emily (Sarah Keller), who lectures from a 4,000-year-old book of collected prophecies that explains the motel is situated above one of seven portals to hell.

"And you will face the sea of darkness, and all therein may be explored.” Lucio Fulci certainly does not fail to be epic in this masterpiece called “The Beyond.” Granted I have not seen every Fulci movie but he has not failed to impress with the horror movies I have seen so far. I have yet to see any of his earlier Giallo movies. To many, “The Beyond” is part of Fulci’s “Gates of Hell” trilogy along with “City of the Living Dead” and “House by the Cemetery.” Out of the three, “The Beyond” I found to be the scariest with a solid story to back it up. You don’t see much of this movie as far as being released on formats. It was released by Anchor Bay in Widescreen 2:35:1 about a decade ago. It received a DVD release much later.

Originally published in the Guardian on 15 August 1977
Twelve years after his death, Stan Laurel has somehow managed to get the little Cumbria town of Ulverston into another fine mess. Stanley Arthur Jefferson didn't know what he was letting the place in for when he was born there in 1890. The comedian who found fame as the skinny, snivelling half of Laurel and Hardy was brought up by his maternal grandmother at 3 Argyll Street for the first six years of his life.
And last week Ulverston decided to put on a Grand Stan Laurel Exhibition. Ulverston's Most Famous Son, trumpeted the hoardings – until somebody pointed out that Councillor So-and-so, of fragrant memory, who introduced Belisha beacons to the town in 1952, or perhaps did something else even worthier, was more relevant to Ulverston than a dead film comic who disappeared off to America and, moreover, was married several times and was reputed to drink.

John Landis takes on A Chump At Oxford.
Like Saps at Sea, this Hal Roach Laurel & Hardy vehicle was originally conceived as a four-reeler, but was bumped up to 63 minutes to compete in the feature market. These were arguably their last substantial feature releases before a contract with 20th Century Fox reduced them to formula B-pictures. It’s a cultural crime that today’s kids know nothing of Stan and Ollie, but that’s their loss. John McCabe’s 1961 biography “Mr. Laurel & Mr. Hardy” remains the definitive word on the duo.
Click here to watch the trailer.
Nothing much to add to this commentary today, folks. Instead, have a Laurel and Hardy short:
And, if you haven’t checked it out, this commentary and (I think) all the Landis-hosted commentaries this week were recorded in the session in which we captured the bloopers in the John Landis blooper reel.

Director Robert Altman's 1971, British Columbia-lensed feature "McCabe & Mrs. Miller", starring Warren Beatty and Julie Christie, will screen @ Vancouver's Vancity Theatre, January 28, 29, 30 and February 2 and 3, in celebration of Vancouver's 125th birthday this year :
"...Happy Birthday, Vancouver, 125 years young! To kick off the celebrations, what better movie than Robert Altman's masterpiece 'McCabe & Mrs Miller', probably the greatest film ever made in British Columbia, and set in the fictional town of Presbyterian Church in the early years of the twentieth century, just up the road from our own fair city.
"Warren Beatty stars as 'John McCabe', a hazy romantic and professional gambler with entrepreneurial dreams of setting up a saloon and a brothel on the gold rush trail. He finds an ideal partner in Julie Christie's madam, 'Constance Miller', a businesswoman with all the savvy McCabe himself patently lacks.

Updated through 10/23.
Reading Robert Altman: The Oral Biography, David Thomson, writing in the New Republic, can see that Mitchell Zuckoff "grasps the way in which Altman was always inclined to make a battleground of his own projects - the earnest but passionate misunderstandings between Altman and Warren Beatty on McCabe & Mrs Miller are so beautifully rendered that we begin to see how the actor's notion of John McCabe and the director's had to be at odds for that film to be so funny and so poignant. This is a smart, amusing, lively book, full of anecdotes and a generous step toward perceiving the glorious and perverse ways of Altman himself."...

From the turn-of-the-century Northwest to seedy 70’s NYC, from an 80’s morgue to 90’s Japan to the modern-day midwest, the oldest profession in the world is onscreen to stay. Here are five timeless performances that are worth the peep show. Julie Christie as Constance Miller in Robert Altman’s McCabe & Mrs. Miller Julie Christie is exhilarating in her Oscar-nominated turn as the smart and sexy Constance Miller, a no-nonsense businesswoman in the wild and wicked Northwest who just happens to be in the business of selling sex. In fact, it’s Warren Beatty’s dream chaser John McCabe who is the bimbo to Miller’s sly fox. Like a whore himself, he needs the professional madam’s charms and chops to make a living more than she needs him as a partner ...
