Frankensteins Man or Monster ?

Advantages: classic movie
Disadvantages: a bit dated for the younger generation

Frankenstein, This early 1931 Directed by James Whale, is a cracking reminder to us all, that most movie science fiction eventually becomes science fact. Starring Colin Clive as the Mad/Genius Doctor Frankenstein and Dwight Frye has is slightly retarded and deranged hunchbacked assistant.

Review of Frankenstein (DVD)

From Hell to Eternity

Advantages: Great reproduction of Victorian London
Disadvantages: Everything else

Campbell, which comes with another not entirely original hypothesis although with a few interesting embellishments. The scariest shadow cast over the events in the movie is not that of the Jack but is that of Oliver…Olive Stone. “From Hell” is the Ripper story retold as conspiracy theory.

Watching ?From Hell? though not life threatening is one of those times. I sat down with the preconception that this was going to be the definitive ?Jack the ripper? movie, dangerous things preconceptions, try and stay away from them if you can. Anyway on with the show, ?take your seats mi dear?s, an I?ll tek ya to the dark places of the mind where black is white, up is down and Johnny Depp meks a bad film, ?old tight?. The cast Johnny Depp: My hero, I think he is possibly one of the most talented actors, but everybody is allowed one mistake. His character is ...
