The Gay Divorcee [1934] (REGION 1) (NTSC)
Customer Review: My favourite Astaire and Rogers musical
Fred Astaire plays a dancer returning to England from a trip to Europe. At the docks he meets Ginger Rogers in an embarassing predicament. He tries to find out who she is, but she refuses to tell him, so he spends ages searching London for her before he tracks her down, and begins to charm her. Ginger Rogers and her dithery, much-married friend (Alice Brady) go down to a rather unrealistic and glossy Brighton because Ginger is attemtping to obtain a divorce. Astaire naturally follows with his friend, dithery lawyer Edward Everett Horton. she intends to spend the night with a professional co-respondent, and an unwitting remark by Astaire leads her to believe that he is the co-respondent, which puts her right off him. However, the real co-respondent, a little Italian, turns up (”Your wife is safe with Tonetti, he prefer spaghetti”), and the misunderstanding is sorted out. But what will happen in the morning when her husband arrives? This film has a wildly improbable but very funny plot, and some wonderful dialogue, particularly between Horton and Brady. The whole film is tremendous fun.
Customer Review: An early classic
This must be one of the best movies of the early 1930s. Although originally a highly popular Cole Porter stage musical, the film cut all of the songs save ‘Night and Day’, which became one of the best Astaire-Rogers dance routines. Astaire meets Rogers, falls in love at sight but then loses her: cue the catchy ‘A Needle in a Haystack’. ‘Don’t Let It Bother You’ and ‘Let’s Knock Knees’ are perhaps a little inferior but the sixteen-minute dance marathon ‘The Continental’ more than makes up for them. The film’s also a brilliant slapstick comedy, with several of the regular Astaire supporting actors such as Edward Horton and Erik Rhodes providing amusing sub-plots. And that’s Betty Grable dancing in ‘Let’s Knock Knees!’ A definite recommendation.

Needful Things [1994] (REGION 1) (NTSC)
Customer Review: MODERATELY ENTERTAINING, IF IN THE RIGHT MOOD
In the town of Castle Rock, Sheriff Alan Pangborn, (Ed Harris) decides to investigate the opening of a new shop in town run by Leland Gaunt, (Max Von Sydow) called Needful Things. Taking time out first to propose to girlfriend Polly, (Bonnie Bedelia) a local diner waitress, he goes over to see what he’s selling. Simply selling odd things, he’s allowed to stay as he asks merely of favors for later. As more and more townspeople visit the shop, the more they each get aggravated with each other over a series of pranks and practical jokes they are pulling on each other. When everyone in town is ready to kill each other, the remaining ones start to discover the startling secret that has haunted the town. Gathering up the clues and solving the mystery, they head out to stop the deadly force contaminating the town once and for all.
The Good News: Frankly, there isn’t a whole lot to commend about this film. All of it’s good points come from the final third, where the film lets loose and really goes all out. There’s just an endless stream of exciting action going on that there’s just pure joy as the result. When a full-on riot in the streets, complete with random fistfights from the extras in the background, looting, vandalism and more going on, this one really gets going in the best sense. Couple that in with the realization of what’s been going on, some really bloody deaths and some huge explosions that do a ton of damage, this one can’t get any better than it does in these segments. That it blows up nearly the entire town in this segment is a testament to it, really taking it’s time and drawing it out in a grand sense to give it the illusion of Hell on Earth, which is exactly what’s at sake. That it decides to drop the really lame subplot about the pranks, yet still manages to include them, is a nice move and ties things together nicely. Overall, this is watchable only for this section, and it alone holds the film above water.
The Bad News: This is an incredibly boring film. The fact that the majority of time is spent with absolutely nothing going on other than the residents of the town. There’s no scares in this section of the film as we get seemingly endless scenes of the citizens going to the store and receiving gifts from there. This pretty much is repeated for just about every citizen in town, and with only very few differences with how they come into contact with the store, but the overall sense from these scenes is just boredom. Nothing at all happens and the film just takes forever to get going. By being as long as it is brings out that one even more. By spending so much time with the townspeople and staying away from the horror, this has the ability to really drain the life out of the film and really bring it down. There was too much time spent here and not on the much more lively and interesting second half, which is where all the good stuff is, and that leaves the beginning with a ton of areas to get through before which is just plain boring. The last main flaw with this is that it’s just not all that scary. The central premise isn’t anywhere near being scary and doesn’t offer the chance for anything at all to happen because of the fact that this produces nothing in the way of scares, nor has the ability to do so. That, almost as much as the really slow plotting really doom this one.
The Final Verdict: Basically watchable only for one section of the film, this one is a tough sell. While King fans might get some enjoyment out of it, the slow beginning and uneventful nature, until the ending, will really tax the more liberal viewers out there. Take this one as with your feelings on King, a fan should give it a watch while non-fans should heed caution.
Customer Review: Amazing
The devil in disguise comes to a quiet, peaceful town and opens a store called Needful Things. The store has an item for everyone in town. All the devil asks for in return is a few dirty pranks. Little do they know, that they’ve sold their souls, and the pranks escalate to murder
Wow! this film was really good. Not all Stephen King films are scary but this one is pretty creepy. I would recommend this to anyone that likes horrors and thrillers.

Day Of The Nightmare (1965, 94 Minutes) - Love can be murder in this wacky mix of horror, sexploitation and down-and-dirty psycho kookiness! One minute Doris Mays is supposed to be dead, the next she’s chasing her ex-boyfriend’s wife with a steak knife! Crackpot artist Jonathan Crane tried to end his affair with Doris by stuffing her body in a trunk, but when Doris starts stalking his wife, Jonathan realizes something’s gone terribly wrong: “You were dead! Dead! Now stay dead!” Despite the efforts of police detective John Ireland (I Saw What You Did), ultra-creepy Miss Mays pursues Mrs. Crane in the hopes of permanently ending the marriage. Featuring fun cameos from Elena Verdugo (House of Frankenstein) and Liz Renay (Desperate Living), with photography by director Ted V. Mikels (The Corpse Grinders), this is a Day of the Nightmare you’ll never forget! “Scream Of The Butterfly” (1965, 76 Minutes) - Two days after marrying rich Sap-of-the-Year Paul Williams, bosomy sex-machine Marla is making it with a “young Adonis” on the beach and planning on killing Paul until–oops!–some surprising-for-its-time homosexuality twists the plot into a kinky pretzel! With photography from cult fave Ray Dennis Steckler (Wild Guitar) and one of the sixties’ most cynical endings, “Scream of the Butterfly” also marks the first time in cinema history that the leading lady is referred to onscreen as “Miss Slutsy-Wutsy.”

Customer Review: Sixties sexploitation films with some psychological twists
This double feature DVD from the people at Something Weird offers up a pair of sexploitation flicks from the 1960s. In “Day of the Nightmare” (a.k.a. “Don’t Scream, Doris Mays”) , Jonathan Crane (Cliff Fields) is an artist who makes bad nude sketches of his model. Then she makes the mistake of offering to make love to his “way.” The next thing we know the model has disappeared and is presumed dead since her body cannot be found. However, the swingers in the building heard some of what was going on. Fortunately they were playing topless blind man’s bluff (pretend that being blindfolded makes your hearing better just for the sake of argument, otherwise there is no reason to have a scene with lots of half-naked people). Detective Sgt. Dave Harmon (John Ireland) is on the case, which gets more interesting when Doris Mays, the missing corpse, apparently shows up and tries to kill Jonathan’s wife, Barbara (Beverly Bain). This cannot be good. “Day of the Nightmare” ends up being a rip off of “Pyscho,” and an argument for why you should never see your mother having sex (does anybody need that argument to be made?). Apparently Jonathan’s mother and his father, Dr. Philip Crane (John Hart), had an open marriage, which supposedly explains why Jonathan is so screwed up. I suppose the nudity prevented it from being prime fare for “MST3K,” because this film would have been a perfect choice, from the comic relief provided by Detective Smith (James Cross) to the awfully convenient way justice is served down at the docks at the end of the film. But the chief affront here is the way psychological problems are exploited to advance the story, which is certainly a fair but obvious cop to make for any exploitation film. “Scream of the Butterfly” (a.k.a. “The Passion Kit”) begins with sexy Marla Williams (N?lida Lobato) being run down by her lover, David (Nick Novarro), after she apparently tried to kill her recently wedded husband, Paul (William Turner). A key detail in the story is that Paul cannot swim, but an even more important detail is that David is a gigolo, which means that he swings both ways. We find out about the twisted love triangle is flashbacks at the office of District Attorney Michael Farmer (Robert Miller) where Phil (John Richards), the assistant district attorney, is arguing for David to get the death penalty and Ron (Richard Beebe), the public defender, thinks he can get David off. Consequently, we get to see the story told with Marla still in love with her husband (the view of Phi) and as a tramp (the perspective of Ron). Not exactly he said/she said, but in certainly a variation thereof. All of the scenes outside of the D.A.’s office are dubbed (because why record sound at the same time you are filming scenes?), but then the point here is to watch Marla frolic in the suds filled spa pool at the hotel and not really listen to anything she has to say. Actually, that scene is emblematic of the rest of the film, because Marla is a water creature. But I found the scenes in the D.A.’s office more interesting because Farmer is wrestling with a big dilemma. He thinks that David needs to be in a state hospital where he can get help for his illness (i.e., being gay) and everyone involved can avoid having their dirty laundry aired in public, but Phil is pushing for the death penalty and lots of publicity to reinforce the local morality, constantly reminding Farmer of the political consequences of his decision for the upcoming election. True, no one will actually come out and say that David is gay or that homosexuality is a mental illness, but they do dance around the issue, and there is no way you can see the twist that comes at the end of this one. In addition to the twin features there are the usual collection of thematically related extras. We start with a series of Naughty Nympho Trailers for “Agony of Love,” “Cool It Baby,” “Death of a Nymphet,” “Free Love Confidential,” “Fuego,” “Justine: The Erotic Excitement of Evil,” “Nympho: A Woman’s Urge,” “The Passionate Strangers,” “Sex Obsessed,” and “The 7th Commandment” (a minor complaint: you can not just hit a button and see them all, you have to go one by one). Then there is a Gallery of Underground Sexploitation Movie Magazine covers with Audio Oddities (another minor complaint: the audio odditiy is just music and none of those great bits from the drive in). There are a trio of shorts: “The Wife and the Whip” is a curious look at the life of a male prostitute, “L’amour pour une Femme” is a silent short where you see the punch line coming a mile away, and “Nympho-a-Go-Go” is about a troubled woman who has yet to give into her impulses but is sure thinking about it a lot.
Customer Review: Scream’s a Scream; Nightmare’s a Nightmare
“Scream of the Butterfly” is surprisingly enjoyable for a low-budget, black and white film about a complex plot involving gold-digging, a homosexual relationship, and multiple adultery. The movie is structured as a set of conversations between district attorneys and defense psychologists framing flashbacks leading up to the opening scene that shows Marla Williams (played by Nelida Lobato - related to director Eber Lobato?) standing in front of a car and arguing with the male driver. The driver hits the gas, and Marla goes down. It turns out that Marla was a nude bubble-bathing gold-digger who married rich tycoon Paul Williams (played by William Turner). No sooner had Marla taken off her wedding dress, than she was already looking for someone new. She picked up cute, often-shirtless David (played by Nick Novarro) on the beach. Hubby Paul can’t swim; Marla got an evil idea. But who is that drunk guy who keeps talking to David? Everyone gets a surprise. Especially at the end. The story is well told, and the camera work is all right. The acting is moderate. The gay angle is sympathetic in parts, but one character is very self-loathing; 1965 was well before Stonewall, after all. Enjoyable short, cheapie film. “Day of the Nightmare” is also all right. A jealous woman stalks a young wife. But isn’t the jealous woman already dead? The wife seeks help. “The Night of the Living Dead” meets “Psycho.” The fillers provide generous helpings of womanly T&A.

Customer Review: A Gripping and Eye Opening Riptide.
I read this novel first when I was in middle school. It was around 1984 when I found a copy of the book at a garage sale in Russellville, Ohio. I asked about it and the lady said it belonged to her son, I could have it if I would carry a could of tireless rims out of her garage for her, she was old. I read most of the first half of the book on the ride home, we lived in Springfield, Ohio and were traveling home from visiting family on the Thanksgiving holiday. The novel gripped me and opened my young eyes to the true face of war. Public school education is such a sanitary way to learn of the real historiues of men… I later heard Huggett speak, fascinating… I recommend this, I still have that first copy, thumbworn and held together with duct tape, though I do have a newr copy that I read every couple of years… It, coupled with ten years of service in the U.S. Army remind me that sometimes we have to take responsibility and it isn’t always pretty. I highly recommend this to anyone who likes to read hnovels that fell honest.
Customer Review: Bill Huggett; Giant of a Marine
William Kelly Turner Huggett, 65, died in Miami, Florida, August 31, 2004. He was graduated from Emory University with a double major in history and political science, joined the Marines because he wanted to serve his country, and was awarded the bronze star for heroism in Vietnam as a 2nd Lt. His book “Body Count”, published by Putnam in 1974, was based on his personal experiences in the Marines and in Vietnam, and was written while he was in law school at the University of Florida. I first met “Bill”, or “Huggett” as he was called by friends, during a small dinner at a friends home in 1977. When he found out that I had served three tours in “Nam”, he went out to his car, and came back in with a copy of “Body Count” which he autographed for me. I still have the book. He was married with two children, and practiced Admirality and Maritime law in Miami. Huggett was among the most energetic and magnetic personalities I ever had the pleasure to know. Semper Fi.

American Whiskey Bar 
arsenalpulp.com :
American Whiskey Bar is a remarkable faux memoir about the un-making of a film?a film which Michael Turner was commissioned to write. However, whether or not this film was ever made is debatable. And only one print is said to exist. Nevertheless, American Whiskey Bar, a film seen by only a handful of people, is well on its way to becoming a curious footnote to cinematic history.
American Whiskey Bar, the book, is an attempt to set the record straight?a story of sex, violence, lies, ambition, power, paradox, dreams, and regret. Consider yourself warned.
The script from American Whiskey Bar was produced as a live film experiment directed by acclaimed filmmaker Bruce Macdonald and aired on CityTV.
When first published in 1997, American Whiskey Bar elicited rave reviews for its anti-aesthetic, postmodern ideas of what constitutes a novel.
This new edition of the book features a new ISBN, a new cover, and a new foreword by William Gibson.

Carousel [1956] (REGION 1) (NTSC)
The 1956 screen adaptation of Carousel, like its immediate predecessor Oklahoma!, boasted then state-of-the-art widescreen cinematography, stereophonic sound, a starring romantic duo with on-screen chemistry, and the Rodgers & Hammerstein imprimatur. Adding to its promise was a source (the venerable Ferenc Molnar play Liliom) that had already been filmed three times. Contributing to the lustre are the coastal Maine locations where 20th Century Fox filmed principal photography. Yet unlike the original Broadway production, and despite evident craft, Carousel proved a box-office disappointment. Why? Hindsight argues that movie-goers of the 1950s may have been unprepared for its tragic narrative, the sometimes unsympathetic protagonist, and a spiritual subtext addressing life after death.
Whatever the obstacle, Carousel may well be a revelation to first-time viewers. The score is among the composers’ most affecting, from the glorious instrumental “Carousel Waltz” to a succession of exquisite love songs (”If I Loved You”), a heart-rending secular hymn (”You’ll Never Walk Alone”), and the expectant father’s poignant reverie, “Soliloquy”. Top-line stars Shirley Jones (as factory worker Julie Jordan) and Gordon MacRae (as Billy Bigelow, the carnival barker who woos and weds her) achieve greater dramatic urgency here than in the more successful Oklahoma!. MacRae in particular attains a personal best as the conflicted Billy, whose anxiety and wounded pride after losing his job are crucial to the plot. It’s Billy’s impatience to support his new family that drives him to an ill-fated decision, which transforms the fable into a ghost story. –Sam Sutherland, Amazon.com
Customer Review: Well worth going to the Carousel
Regarded by many as the best Rodgers and Hammerstein musical, it still manages to pack a punch after all these years. Most people will probably already be familiar with the hymn-like standard ‘You’ll Never Walk Alone’, but there are plenty of other gems here that are worth tuning in for. Fans of Frank Sinatra may recognise Billy’s ‘Soliloquy’. The scene on the beach where Gordon McRae belts it out is now a movie musicals’ classic. My personal favourite is the beautifully tender duet ‘If I Loved You’, a song so loaded with the promise of romance and deeply felt regret all at the same time - surely (or Shirley??) one of the best love songs in any Broadway repertoire.
Another of the musical’s high points comes with the opening ‘Carousel Waltz’ itself, an instrumental piece that perfectly captures the very mood of a funfair and is probably one of Rodgers’ finest compositions. It won’t leave your head for days!
While the camerawork may look a bit dated now, the story is still relevant and quite moving. Both of the leads (Gordon McRae and Shirley Jones) are well cast and the singing is excellent. Exquisite stuff indeed.
Customer Review: A Timeless Musical Masterpiece
Undoubtedly the most touching and beautifully written of Rogers and Hammerstein's movie-musicals, this film is in turns lightheartedly funny and tear-jerkingly sad. Featuring classic songs “June is Busting Out All Over”, “If I Loved You” and “You'll Never Walk Alone” and the undisputed talent of Shirley Jones and Gordon McRae, this film will leave you with tears streaming down your face long after the credits.
