Earthlings for Earth Day

April 23rd 2010 03:57

Earthday seems like the perfect time to watch the multi award winning film Earthlings with Joaquin Phoenix. Here is the full movie.

You can also see it here with a word from the director.

I must say I love this silly anthology of creepy, yet funny horror episodes. Created in 1984 by George Romero, there were 92 episodes created before ending in 1988. Also a full length movie starring Deborah Harry, David Forrester and Matthew Lawrence came out in 1990. The stories are of the twilight zone type with a twist at the end. What makes them so great though are the silly story lines and cheesy makeup that was obviously applied with a spackling knife, rather then a makeup brush.

What is the creepiest of all is the opening of each episode. As foreboding music plays, scenes of peaceful, beautiful places are shown.....streams, the countryside, etc. But they do have a creepy quality to them and then those same scenes take on a darker quality. While these are being shown the narrator is saying: "Man lives in the sunlit world of what he believes to be reality. But there is unseen by most, an underworld, a place that is just as real, but not as brightly lit, a darkside."

The closing narrative: "The darkside is always there, waiting for us to enter, waiting to enter us. Until next time ... try to enjoy the daylight!"

Watch the opening intro below and you'll see, you'll have no choice but to seek out their "Tales from the Darkside" (Was that cheesy enough for you?)

Sweet Hostage (1975)

November 23rd 2009 07:58

Sweet Hostage, released in 1975 starred a cute teenage Linda Blair and a very hot 35 year old Martin Sheen. Sheen is an escaped mental patient who comes upon Blair who is standing by her broken down car at the side of the road. He offers her a ride and after talking with her and hearing of her unhappiness at home decides to kidnap her. At first she tries to escape but eventually falls in love with him.

And whats not to love...he walks around quoting Samuel Taylor Coleridge poems, talking of Xanadu and calling himself Kubla Khan and Linda is Cristabel. Sadly, once they are finally happy and start to build a life together they are found, and things do not end well. I usually hate nicely tied up ends in movies where everyone lives happily ever after, but this time I was really hoping for that. This is definitely a tear jerker.

It was nominated for a Golden Globe for the best motion picture made for TV. I love this movie and nothing can compare to the timeless saga of Kubla Khan and Cristabel.
