The Invisible Man - A classic!

Advantages: Brilliant special effects, very good storyline and well casted
Disadvantages: Sometimes predictable

...has to be one of the best. Made in 1933 when horror was just becoming popular, James Whale directs a masterpiece original using special effects never seen before (and invisible man! something editing had never seen before!). Claude Rains does a fantastic job as Jack Griffin, a psychotic scientist driven on a rampage as he searches for the cure to his invisibility. Casting of this film is fantastic, with Gloria Stewart starring along side Rains as ...
...Wells book, which is where the film is adapted from, will know the similiarities, and how Whale has included as much as the original text as possible, and succeeded in it brilliantly! This film is great for almost any ages (maybe not small children - the thought of someone creeping around invisible is enough to scare adults let alone children!) Without giving too much away, all I can say is that if you enjoy classic black and white films with a ...

king kong

Advantages: strong message
Disadvantages: nil

...Cabot Length: 104 minutes king kong is good for a night in with your friends and family or you partner. It shows what it is like to be an animat and to be captured for a show. I think young children would not like this move because it is upsetting and also very cruel to see what happens to animals when they are poatured even though it is not real. People might see this as an oportunaty to see a gorilla even though it is not real. The gorrila and ...

Review of King Kong (Special Edition) (DVD)

C'mon now, big toothy grin!!

Advantages: Good cast, terrific music, fast and fun
Disadvantages: Looks very dated (if that's a problem for you)

...Peter Jackson's 2005 version of King Kong, but for some strange reason it did make me want to watch the other versions to see how they compared. Naturally the first version I wanted to check out was the original, made way back in 1933. Happily it was possible to borrow it from someone just a couple of days after thinking it would be interesting to watch it… The storyline is familiar to everyone I guess, but I'll outline it anyway. Maverick film producer ...
...H. O'Brien, whose work on King Kong inspired a certain 13 year-old named Ray Harryhausen to learn all he could about the stop-motion techniques that O'Brien had used… It is agreat credit to O'Brien that, despite the age of this movie, some of the effects still actually look pretty good. There was no sympathy towards poor old Kong evident in this version, but then again he was portrayed as being rather wantonly destructive. He also had a real tendency ...
