Inglourious Basterds (2009)
Ranked higher than 'Maltese Falcon'? Idjits!!
OMG! Please' please, please, O Lord, that Bradith Pittith who cometh to the large digital screen sporting the worst Southern accent the acting Universe has ever heard (under the pretense of disguise, of course - Tarantino's "wink wink" excuse for Americans who have no ability for Euro accents, let alone the ability to act at all!!). And yet, this bizarre, over wrought, over written, over scored excuse for a Dirty Dozen remake ranks higher than one of the most unforgettable films of all times. Tarantino's affection for French 'noir', with subtitles, complete with an Ingrid Bergman look alike, actually works. He just can't trust it. it ties it him up it knots to tell the truth. When he gets too close...bring in the vampires! Well. wtf.. the kids love it. He'll get an 8.2.. higher than Citizen Kane. Problem is, we'll all remember Citizen Kane and Maltese Falcon, just not...oh, I'm sorry..what was this movie again?
Perry Mason: The Case of the Sausalito Sunrise (1966)
Hit man Paul Genge
A bit of interesting trivia: actor Paul Genge, who plays Bud in this episode, sneaks into Bobbi Dane's hospital room in an attempt to kill or kidnap her. He is discovered by a nurse who thwarts his efforts. Later on, he and another thug, hop into a car and chase after a truck driving Paul Drake. After a brief chase Paul forces the bad guys car off the road and Genge, who is seated in the passenger seat, dies a nasty death tumbling down a California cliff side.
Fast forward two years later and Paul Genge is now Mike the Hit-man in Bullitt, with a quick commute across the Golden Gate from Sausalito to San Francisco. Once again he sneaks into a hospital room in an attempt to kill mobster Johnny Ross. Once again his efforts are thwarted by a nurse who discovers him. Once again, he finds himself in a car chase alongside a fellow thug (tho this time as the pursued vs the pursuer). And once again, Genge is in the passenger seat when his car loses control and plows into a gas station, sending his soul to hell in a fiery blaze!
Another tidbit: at both hospitals in the two films he tells a nurse he is a relative of a patient.
The Yin and the Yang of Mr. Go (1970)
What the %$&?
I picked this up at the Dollar Tree along with a bottle of Ajax dishwash liquid, a box of Fiddle Faddle and some Tums. All are gone except for Mr. Go (facilitating my consumption of the Tums) which still remains.
Now, not all $1 discs suck. I've picked up old Sherlock Holmes flicks w/ Basil Rathbone for a buck and enjoyed them thoroughly. But Mr. Go? Ach du lieber! I really can't add anything to the madness. Worst of all, I can't get that bizarre song out of my head, when Jeff & Jack go zipping around Hong Kong in a couple of rikshaws. "Got to be free... Freee.. weee!". WTF!?!
I Am Legend (2007)
What? No zombie penguins?
Let's see. Take plenty of deer, a pride of lions, mix with a pack of "trained" mutant dogs and lightning fast zombies that can scamper vertically, jump 14 feet in a single bound and overturn Range Rovers with a touch of a finger and what do you get? Uhh..the stupidest movie of the year!! Ironically, the best zombie in the movie was Will Smith, who obviously realized nothing could be as bad as Wild Wild West and decided to cash his check pronto. Surprisingly, there are more idiot points in this fiasco than even Jerry Bruckheimer could conceive (well, maybe not, in light of the moronic National Turds 1&2).
How 'bout that huge rack on the 56 pound chick zombie in Smith's basement? I mean, her jumbly's were huge. And perky! No sag at all. Probably the first zombie chick in history with a boob job!
