How many times have I viewed Jaws 2? Five? A dozen? I live with two shark obsessed females, which means I get to see good shark flicks...
The first film is a hardboiled caper gone to hell. As always with this editor, matters are trimmed to bare essentials. Not that viewers care...
Overview - Editing the possibly whitest bread of all serials, “The Adventures Of Captain Marvel”, must have been a labor of love for Mr. Batson. Indeed, for those familiar...
Overview - One of the first released edits trying to “fix” narrative errors. Video - 854 X 356 AVC. Higher resolution would have been...
Overview - Stellar work assembling various outtakes and scenes from various editions. Video - 1920 X 1080 AVC. Odd bit of TV business at...
A film I have watched numerous times. Indeed, I first saw this the way it was meant to be viewed, at a drive-in, in the early 1970‘s. This...
Part of the Time travel Consecution, this is a haunting, at times perplexing, love story. I watched it three times, to get the feel of the story, because...
Overview - An audacious, ballsy effort, removing one of the singular characters from a feature. Mad Max, without Max. This cannot work. It has “fail” all...
Overview - Mr. Willins takes three apocalyptic films, “The Mist,” “In The Mouth Of Madness,” and “Deep Rising,” tosses them into the chopper, and makes a dark homage to...
“History shows again and again, how Nature points out the folly of men.” What a shrewd idea. Combining the 1954 Japanese version with the...
Overview - The original Christmas Horror Story was quite a bouncy affair, four storylines weaving back and forth throughout. MusicEd aims for a more traditional anthology style. ...
Overview - A trim of Mel Gibson’s naturalistic masterpiece, removing much of the dialogue. Video - 1280 X 696p AVC. Image is razor sharp,...
Aside from my BluRay player, none of my other tools could read this, even VLC which I found puzzling. Consequently, I’m not going to list some of the...
Overview - “The Mummy Returns” was a pisspoor sequel to 1999′s “The Mummy.” The editor intends to reduce the nonsense, minimize the action overload, keep the charm. ...
Overview - Another entry in Mike’s ongoing series, this time a twofer. First source, “The Dead Next Door” remains a bad cheapie, though with heart. None of the...
“A space mind trip on the evolution of evil and violence.” There seems to be two edits here, both stitching Kubrick’s 2001. The first half traces physical (and...
I watched the Tarkovsky original at a revival house in the 1970’s and exited annoyed with myself for failing to understand the film, and annoyed at the director for being...
Overview - The original was a film I really wanted to like. Set during 1950’s added several political elements, and explained Indy’s age. Mutt is no Brando, however,...
I really like this condensation of “Airplane II: The Sequel.” Lots of scenes are missing, but adds to the mayhem and confusion. More to the point, the storytelling...
Superlative short here, mixing two (in my mind) incongruous films, WALL-E and Final Fantasy. Does it work? Absolutely. The intro is helpful, explaining WALL-E’s desire to depart...
Overview - This time out, Mr Soderbergh mixes 1949’s “Criss Cross” with his own remake, “The Underneath,” from 1995. A damaged male, longing for a corrupted ex, allows himself...
I must confess I have a fondness for AvP, and rewatch it frequently. Early on, some odd business relocates AvP from the Pole to the pyramids. It feels...
Other low scores, c’mon. I think people miss the point of this. This is HAL 9000’s version. The stressed out AI who more or less unravels before...
Overview - After some long forgotten war, earthlings have relocated to Saturn. OK premise, excellent production values, but the script is thin, weakening the movie overall. ...
One firefight incident detailed in the Clone Wars. Obi-wan stalls while Anakin, with a young, untested Jedi, tries to sabotage opposing forces. Editing is tight and to the...
Man, what a rush! For fans of old school Hong Kong this is pell mell action. The image is not the best, 640 X 480p. Appears VHS...
Ha ha ha ha. Banned but not forgotten! I wondered why only 60 of Maniac’s 100+ edits were listed on the Fanedit Database. Bummer, dude. Ah...
DMPD’s short of Time Cop was somehow not approved for the Time Travel Consecution, but it was on the DVD, and damnit, I’m putting my comments here. (Note: I...
Overview - Van Zant famously made a shot for shot of the Hitchcock classic. Mr Soderbergh rendered the 1998 remake into black n white, then interweaved it and the...
Overview - Extend the Miami Vice pilot to include “Calderone’s Return” (E04-E05). Video - 512 X 384p AVC. The picture quality is a little soft, particularly...
Overview - As kids, my brother and I used to buy 8mm reels of movies. They never had sound, so we put on a movie soundtrack and hoped for...
