I was in a local video store and they had a video called _Society_ which
said it was 'from the makers of re-animator'. The blurb indicated the
cinematographer and one of the producers (or something like that) were
involved with reanimator. Anyone heard of this film ? Any good ?

By the way, _Solaris_ is a novel by Czech sci-fi diety Stanislaw Lem.  The book is surprisingly 
shorter than the film.  The filmmakers decided to really go in depth in showing all of the 
things that the novel just implied or skimmed over.  I definately agree that this is a great film,
even though some of the scenes are overly long.  I've heard that it is being releases in the US on 
video soon. I hope it gets letterboxed.  Panavision does not convert easily to the small screen.

This year, there seems to be a trend (well, actually, there *is* a trend)
towards Gongfu and wuxia movies in Hong Kong.  So far, there is already
ONCE UPON A TIME IN CHINA II, SWORDSMAN II, ROYAL TRAMP (Part 1 and 2 --
the two parts are shot together, similiar to BACK TO THE FUTURE part 2
and 3), JUSTICE, MY FOOT!, and SAVIOUR OF THE SOUL II, all of which are
big budget (HK standard) productions.  As for stars, the hottest ones
include Stephen Chow (ROYAL TRAMP, _JUSTTICE, MY FOOT!_), Jet Li (ONCE
UPON A TIME IN CHINA II, SWORDSMAN II), and Jackie Chan (POLICE STORY
III).  Chow Yuen Fatt starred in two movies this year -- HARD BOILED and
_LOVE, NOW YOU SEE IT NOW YOU DON'T_, and both of them flopped at the box
office.

POLICE STORY III is probably the only non-gongfu/wuxia movie from HK that
did well in the box office.  As an action film, it sure beats the heck
out of LETHAL WEAPON 3.

Several months ago I saw Kafka in Charlottesville,Va and  although I
have a poor memory I do remember some of the comments made at the movie.
Steven Soderbergh attended the showing and led a discussion at the end of
the movie.  The basic idea that he presented was that the movie was not
intended to be an accurate biography of Kafka or to be a depiction of
one of Kafka's stories but rather the result of answering the question 
"What if you lived in the imagination of Kafka?"  The castle at the end
of the movie was supposed to represent a culmination of all the possible
fears of the character and was designed to be entirely different from
anything that was conceivable.  There was some discussion about the 
choice of black and white photography and he said that after having read
some of Kafka's work there was never any doubt by him or his crew that
it should be filmed in black and white.  I assume that he chose color 
for the ending because of the desire for the castle to be different.

Just saw a "new" one the other night on USA. "Revenge Of The Teenage Vixens
From Outer Space". Since I was half asleep, it wouldn't be fair for me to
comment too heavily. But, it seemed cheap, the standard sort of USA Up All
Night movie. Didn't look as funny as "Nymphoid Barbarian In Dinosaur Hell"
which they had shown earlier.

It's Peter Jackson. Yes, Brain Dead is his new movie, and it is absolutely
brilliant. Mega-fantastic. Much better than Bad Taste (and that's saying
something). Lots of gore, lots of comedy, and a love story thrown in.

Everybody must see this movie.

I saw what was supposed to be the director's cut, allegedly with an

I agree that these are the reasons - but does anyone else agree that
marketeers don't give the "masses" the credit they deserve?

I mean, Henry V had lines around the block for six months, long movies
(Dances with Wolves) have succeeded.  *I* think the reason that the
target audience (teenagers) has been CREATED by Hollywood, adults have
shown that they WILL come to the theatre for the right movies (and that
they DON'T like the darlings of the critics - ex. adaptations of 19th

I knew some people who were members of a fundamentalist church who had 
weekly 'get togethers'. Katy was told to rent a "safe" movie. She thought
that something showing athletes overcoming their limitations would be 
pretty uplifting and got 'Personal Best'. The hard part for me was listening

Maybe the "O" delineates the reprogramming done on him by John Connor in the
future.  He is no longer a 101, but a 1O1.  The O could mean anything, from
the person who cracked the Cyberdyne computer language (say, if his name was
Osborne) to a randomly chosen letter.  Maybe it's Connor's favorite fruit,
oranges; and just in case the young Connor asked "How do I know I programmed
you?" it would respond "You changed my model number to 1O1.  The O stands for
your favorite fruit...oranges."  

Hey, it could happen. :)

Hi:

This is posted in the hope that there really is a Jean Shepherd movie
cult. I have enjoyed his short stories, audio tapes and movies for years.

A few years ago a Memphis TV station broadcast one of his movies, "Phantom
of the Open Hearth", which gets my vote as his best. It is not listed in
any video catalog I have seen.

Does anyone know how I can get a video of "Phantom of the Open Hearth"
by Jean Shepherd?

I never doubted the Eastern films. Course, I don't watch all that many of
them, although if anyone could find me "Duel Of The Masters", I'd just
freak! 
Van Damme should just give it up. He can't handle one role worth a damn,
and they try to give him two. 
I work with a woman whose sister works for the company that made 
"Double Impact". I should say worked, since the less than inspiring
grosses, forced the company to lay off quite a few people, including her.
Have yet to meet anyone who bothered to see it. I won tickets from a 
radio station, and it still wasn't worth it!

What do you mean From Beyond was 'pretty good'. I may not have seen
it in years, but as far as I remember, it was one of the best films
of that type that I'd ever seen. I loved both the effects and the
story.

I don't think I've seen that version of P&P, but while we're on the
subject...
I saw a version of it a couple of years ago on TV. I don't know who
made it or anything, just that it was one of the best horror films
I've seen for pure Poe-ness. It seemed like quite an old film, but
it was in colour. I've heard that there was a version of The Fall of
The House Of Usher made by the same peeps, but I couldn't be sure of
this, since it just sounded the same. 
I've seen a couple of recent Poe adaptations (Usher and Masque of
the Red Death) and they were crap. Can anyone tell me what versions
I'm talking about?

_History_is_Made_at_Night_ is a 1937 romantic "classic".  It is well
made but, for me, has no real distinguishing features.  I guess
someone in BB making process feels otherwise.  _History_ was directed
by Frank Borzage who also directed _China_Doll_ with Victor Mature and
Li Li Hua.  It is my partner's favourite piece of Orientalist Kitsch.
I have no idea what they put in their tea when they made that one.
