Bad Cinema Diary TM Bad Cinema Diary TM The “A” Pages from Abbott to Axe ABBOTT & COSTELLO GO TO MARS (1953 - aka On to Mars; Rocket & Roll) dir: Charles Lamont; w/ Bud Abbott, Lou Costello, Mari Blanchard, the Miss Universe Beauties. Two hapless workmen accidentally launch themselves in a rocket; they land in New Orleans and think it’s Mars. But then they’re hijacked by two escaped cons and end up on Venus -- but think it’s Los Angeles. They never do make it to Mars. Okay, the plot doesn’t really count. But this flick at least eschews the retreaded skits and night club song numbers in favor of a well-paced comic script full of good gags. The best moments come from just Bud & Lou clowning around, instead of contrived situations. Good old fashioned fun. ABBOTT & COSTELLO MEET DR JEKYLL & MR HYDE See the Jekylls & Hydes page. ABBOTT & COSTELLO MEET FRANKENSTEIN (1948 - aka Brain of Frankenstein; Abbott & Costello Meet the Ghosts) dir: Charles T. Barton; w/ Bud Abbott, Lou Costello, Lon Chaney, Bela Lugosi, Glenn Strange, (Vincent Price’s voice in a cameo). Actually, it’s more like Abbott & Costello meet House of Frankenstein. The wolfman enlists the boys’ help in hunting down Dracula & Frankenstein’s monster, which have just been shipped to a sideshow copyright©2009 Bruce V. Edwards Bad Cinema Diary TM in Florida. Meanwhile, a mad doctor lady is plotting to stick Lou’s brain into the monster! Bud & Lou are in top form for this one, and Bela even gets into the spirit and goes along with the gags. Chaney, on the other hand, is still seriously playing the angst-oozing life of tormented Larry Talbot. Odd, I like the tone on this one even though I’ve always been a bit irritated with Universal’s later monster pictures, wherein they refused to treat the monsters seriously. But here, they’ve become cartoony celebrations of the originals -- a tribute rather than an insult. And the whole thing is a great way to have fun on a lazy Saturday afternoon. ABBOTT & COSTELLO MEET THE INVISIBLE MAN (1951) dir: Charles Lamont; w/ Bud Abbott, Lou Costello, Nancy Guild, Arthur Franz, Adele Jurges, Sheldon Leonard. A pair of fledgling PI’s help a framed boxer clear his name -- said boxer having used the self-same invisibility serum made famous in the Invisible Man movies to escape the police. Predictable invisibility gags follow. A mediocre outing for A & C; fun, but not one of their best. ABBOTT & COSTELLO MEET THE KEYSTONE COPS (1955) dir: Charles Lamont; w/ Bud Abbott, Lou Costello, Fred Clark, Lynn Bari, (Mack Sennett cameo). In the silent movie era, Bud & Lou are wannabe filmmakers who get mistaken for stuntmen. The plot occupies less than half of the film, the rest is just a series of random sitcom gags that could have been written for any comedy team. It has a few good moments, but mostly it’s a waste of their talents. Fred Clark, on the other hand, gets a good role and the best scenes. ABBOTT & COSTELLO MEET THE KILLER, BORIS KARLOFF (1949) Dir: Charles T. Barton; w/ Bud Abbott, Lou Costello, Boris Karloff, Lenore Aubert. A simplistic murder mystery farce, but it’s saved by good gags & a good performance by Lou as the hapless bellhop who’s been framed for the murder. The title, obviously, banked heavily on Karloff as the co-star, but his role is actually quite small, with only one scene of any substance. copyright©2009 Bruce V. Edwards Bad Cinema Diary TM ABBOTT & COSTELLO MEET THE MUMMY (1955) dir: Charles Lamont; w/ Bud Abbott, Lou Costello, Marie Windsor, Michael Ansara. While in Egypt, Lou swallows a sacred amulet and Bud gets framed for murder (by Lou, but it was an accident!). So they end up getting chased around by the police, a slinky criminal-broad, mummy cultists, and eventually the mummy himself. This one is pretty mundane formula -- it’s just a string of recycled slapstick skits sandwiched between song & dance numbers. Nonetheless, the gags are good, one of the dance routines is actually quite inventive, and the flick manages to be mildly amusing. ABBY (1974) prod & dir: William Girdler; w/ William Marshall, Terry Carter, Austin Stoker, Carol Speed. No skin; no gore. A preacher's wife gets possessed by a Nigerian sex-demon, so she talks dirty and throws people around -- and then she is rather undramatically exorcised with a mixture of Christian and African iconography. Intended to be the blaxploitation version of Exorcist of course; it's a bit of a schizoid flick -- part of the time it seems to be making a stern effort at being seen as a respectable drama -- but spends the rest of the time layering on cheese, sleaze, and thickly sliced ham. Although it has quite a few boring bits, there's enough here to be a lot of fun. The worst part is really the ending, which is the most ordinary and unexciting thing they could think up. ABLAZE (2000) dir: Jay Andrews (aka Jim Wynorski); w/ John Bradley, Ice T, Amanda Pays, (Cathy Lee Crosby, Tom Arnold, Edward Albert, Michael Dudikoff in bits). No skin; no gore. The blurb on the box promises us the pursuit of a deadly serial arsonist -- and indeed that’s the first five minutes. We get a terrific car chase scene and a fun performance from Ice T -- and that’s the end of that. The credits roll, Ice T disappears, and the flick dissolves into a randomly scattered collage of melodramas featuring kids playing with matches, corrupt businessmen, a pregnant lady, a crusading doctor, and the remarkably unrealistic exploits of noble firemen. copyright©2009 Bruce V. Edwards Bad Cinema Diary TM Eventually, the movie reveals itself as a randomly scattered and remarkably unrealistic disaster movie when the refinery blows up and burns down the city. All the explosions and stunt-work shows that they obviously had a budget on this one -- they should have spent something on the script. This thing is so unconvincing and poorly written that it’s not just bad, it’s tacky. [Thanks to the sharp memory of reader Gunnar for pointing out that all of the special effects on this flick (and apparently much of the plot) were ripped from the earlier disaster flick City on Fire (1979); given the dreadful quality of everything besides the explosions, that does explain a lot.] AB-NORMAL BEAUTY (2004 - Hong Kong) writ & dir: Oxide Pang; w/ Race Wong, Rosanne Wong, Anson leung. No skin; mild gore. A young art student, a victim of abuse and emotional starvation, stumbles across the perfect subject for her photography: dead people. The obsession quickly spills over into schizophrenia, but just when she thinks she’s found a path out of madness, she hits a few speed bumps and discovers that she’s not the only one in town with a dangerous fascination for the art of death. It’s a moody and effective psycho-thriller with a few unexpected twists. The overall impact is dulled considerably by an unimaginative ending and subtitles that only vaguely approximate English. But the cast & photography are excellent, and it’s graced by the best suspense flick score since Bernard Herrmann. If the script had carried more real impact, this would have been a classic; nonetheless, if you’re a fan of Hitchcock or giallo, it’s well worth checking out. ABOMINABLE (2006) writ & dir: Ryan Schifrin; w/ Matt McCoy, Haley Joel, Christien Tinsley, (cameos for Dee Wallace Stone, Jeffrey Combs, Lance Henriksen). One bit o’ skin; some gore. Bigfoot goes postal -- a wheelchair-bound mental patient, a gaggle of tittering girls, and some colorful local characters try to keep from becoming a midnight snack. Although it starts with an attempt to mimic Rear Window, it does turn into a nice old fashioned monster movie. There is some padding and some artificial tension cheap-shots, but they can get away with that because of good characters, a great cast, and a nice level of copyright©2009 Bruce V. Edwards Bad Cinema Diary TM suspense. The only problem I had was with the critter himself -- oh, the effects for the ‘bominable were excellent, it’s just that he looked exactly like a cross between Jack Elam and Gossamer (that hairy thing from the Bugs Bunny cartoons) -- he made me giggle. Which I’m guessing wasn’t the reaction the filmmakers were hoping for. Oh, well -- it’s still a fun flick. the ABOMINABLE Dr PHIBES See Dr. Phibes. the ABOMINABLE SNOWMAN (1957 - Britain - aka The Abominable Snowman of the Himalayas; The Snow Creature) dir: Val Guest; w/ Forrest Tucker, Peter Cushing. An obsessed British scientist joins a shady hunting party that is seeking the secret home of the Yeti. And they find it, too -- but they slowly begin to learn that the roles of horrid beasts and civilized people have been reversed. It’s a capable little film, with some successes. However, it’s marred by excess padding, small & unconvincing sets (they only had one rock to climb, so they kept climbing it over & over from different angles), bad matte paintings, and the usual tepid British pacing. But the characters are good and Nigel Kneale’s script shows a little originality. A good enough flick, if you cut it some slack. ABRAXAS: Guardian of the Universe (1991) writ & dir: Damian Lee; w/ Jesse Ventura, Marjorie Bransfield, Sven-Ole Thorsen, (Jim Belushi bit). No skin; no gore. Jesse Ventura plays this really dull super-cop of the galaxy who is 11,000 years old and is on a mission to Earth to stop a really dull renegade super-cop and save some really dull Earth- child who can think powerful thoughts.

  • Why No Wonder Woman?
    Why No Wonder Woman? A REPORT ON THE HISTORY OF WONDER WOMAN AND A CALL TO ACTION!! Created for Wonder Woman Fans Everywhere Introduction by Jacki Zehner with Report Written by Laura Moore April 15th, 2013 Wonder Woman - p. 2 April 15th, 2013 AN INTRODUCTION AND FRAMING “The destiny of the world is determined less by battles that are lost and won than by the stories it loves and believes in” – Harold Goddard. I believe in the story of Wonder Woman. I always have. Not the literal baby being made from clay story, but the metaphorical one. I believe in a story where a woman is the hero and not the victim. I believe in a story where a woman is strong and not weak. Where a woman can fall in love with a man, but she doesnʼt need a man. Where a woman can stand on her own two feet. And above all else, I believe in a story where a woman has superpowers that she uses to help others, and yes, I believe that a woman can help save the world. “Wonder Woman was created as a distinctly feminist role model whose mission was to bring the Amazon ideals of love, peace, and sexual equality to ʻa world torn by the hatred of men.ʼ”1 While the story of Wonder Woman began back in 1941, I did not discover her until much later, and my introduction didnʼt come at the hands of comic books. Instead, when I was a little girl I used to watch the television show starring Lynda Carter, and the animated television series, Super Friends.

  • Godzilla and the Japanese After World War II: from a Scapegoat of the Americans to a Saviour of the Japanese
    Godzilla and the Japanese after World War II: From a scapegoat of the Americans to a saviour of the Japanese Yoshiko Ikeda Ritsumeikan University Abstract. This paper examines how five Godzilla films illuminate the complicated relationship between Japan and the United States over the use of nuclear weapons. The United States dropped the first atomic bombs on Japan and created the first nuclear monster film, The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms (1953), which inspired the Godzilla series. The popularity of these Godzilla films derives from skilfully grappling with the political, social and cultural problems created by the use of nuclear weapons and science/technology, both inside Japan and in relations between Japan and the United States. This paper takes a historical perspective and shows how the Godzilla characters reflect these attitudes across time, moving from a scapegoat for the Americans to a saviour of the Japanese. Gojira (Godzilla) series An ancient monster, deformed by a series of nuclear bomb tests and expelled from his natural habitat, lands in Tokyo and starts destroying Japanese cities. Given the name Godzilla, he destroys these symbols of civilisation as if seeking revenge on humankind for creating such technology. Gojira,1 produced and released by Toho Studio, was a breakthrough hit in Japan in 1954.2 It was followed by 29 Japanese sequels and two American versions of the Japanese films, Godzilla, King of the Monsters (1956) and Godzilla 1985: The Legend is Reborn (1984). Gojira was Japan’s first export film and the series appealed to both Japanese and foreign audiences. Over the past 50 years, Godzilla has transformed in shape and character, playing various roles in the stories.

  • Asian Extreme As Cult Cinema: the Transnational Appeal of Excess and Otherness Jessica Anne Hughes BA English and Film Studies
    Asian Extreme as Cult Cinema: The Transnational Appeal of Excess and Otherness Jessica Anne Hughes BA English and Film Studies, Wilfrid Laurier University MA Film Studies, University of British Columbia A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Queensland in 2016 School of Communications and Arts Hughes 2 Abstract This thesis investigates the way Western audiences respond to portrayals of excess and otherness in Japanese Extreme cinema. It explores the way a recent (2006-2016) cycle of Japanese Splatter (J-Splatter) films, including The Machine Girl (Noboru Iguchi, 2008) and Tokyo Gore Police (Yoshihiro Nishimura, 2008), have been positioned as cult due to their over-the-top representations of violence and stereotypes of Japanese culture. Phenomenological research and personal interviews interrogate Western encounters with J-Splatter films at niche film festivals and on DVD and various online platforms through independent distributors. I argue that these films are marketed to particular Western cult audiences using vocabulary and images that highlight the exotic nature of globally recognised Japanese cultural symbols such as schoolgirls and geisha. This thesis analyses J-Splatter’s transnational, cosmopolitan appeal using an approach informed by the work of Ernest Mathijs and Jamie Sexton, Matt Hills, Henry Jenkins, and Iain Robert Smith, who read the relationship between Western audiences and international cult cinema as positive and meaningful cultural interactions, demonstrating a desire to engage in more global experiences. The chapters in this thesis use textual analysis of J-Splatter films and case studies of North American and Australian film festivals and distribution companies, which include interviews with festival directors and distributors, to analyse the nature of the appeal of J- Splatter to Western audiences.

  • EL PUENTE ROJO / Shin Godzilla Y El Incombustible Cine De Monstruos CLAUDIA LÓPEZ FRÍAS
    EL PUENTE ROJO / Shin Godzilla y el incombustible cine de monstruos CLAUDIA LÓPEZ FRÍAS Shin Godzilla y el incombustible cine de monstruos (Hideaki Anno, Shinji Higuchi, 2016) Shin Godzilla o Godzilla Resurgence, estrenado en Japón el 29 de Julio del 2016 es el film 31 sobre este monstruo, uno de los más reconocidos cinematográficamente en el mundo. El dinosaurio gigante mutante es una de las referencias más populares del Japón del siglo XX, y puede ser el origen del cine conocido como Kaiju, que se refiere al de bestias gigantes, en inglés traducido como cine de monstruos. Este film en concreto está codirigido por Hideaki Anno y Shinji Higuchi y vuelve a los orígenes para mostrarnos un Godzilla fruto de los desastres nucleares que asola el Japón moderno. La premiere en Japón fue recibida con muy buenas críticas, mejor que en occidente y su éxito en taquillas no ha tenido precedentes en ningún film sobre esta criatura, posiblemente debido a la notoriedad de sus dos directores. En España, debutó el 8 de octubre en el Festival de Sitges de este año (edición 49), y el 29 de octubre en la XXVII Semana de Cine Fantástico y de Terror de San Sebastián y se ha estrenado en cines en enero del 2017, aunque en muy pocas salas. Lo que en Japón es un acontecimiento social, en España se reduce a salas especializadas en cine de autor.
