The Bat, a review by addicted2dvdTV Stars in the Movies Marathon Title: The Bat Year: 1959 Director: Crane Wilbur Rating: NR Length: 80 Min. Video: Anamorphic Widescreen 2.35:1 Audio: English: Dolby Digital Mono Subtitles: N/A Stars: Vincent Price as Dr. Malcolm Wells Agnes Moorehead as Cornelia Van Gorder Gavin Gordon as Lieutenant Anderson John Sutton as Warner Lenita Lane as Lizzia Allen Star(s) of TV Series:
Plot:Extras: N/A My Thoughts: This is the first time I ever seen this classic Vincent Price movies. It is on double feature disc with House on Haunted Hill. Another Vincent Price movie. This DVD is put out by the Roan Group and is labeled Horror Classics #3: Vincent Price Collection . But the problem with that is I wouldn't call The Bat a horror movie. It is a murder mystery. But it is one I enjoyed. I am glad I have it in my collection. I admit it was a little strange to see Agnes Moorehead in something other then Bewitched... but she did a good job. Thought she was very believable in the role. I enjoyed the storyline... even though I did guess the murderer ahead of time. I wouldn't say it is completely obvious... but I did guess it about half way through the movie.

My Thoughts: This is a movie a friend of mine gave me. I believe this is a rather rare... previously unreleased... movie from the '90s. I have heard about this movie for years. The huge majority of what I heard wasn't very good. But of course I always wanted to see for myself. I admit... it leaves quite a bit to be desired. But I did enjoy it for what it is... a fun rarity in film. I don't know how it was in the comics and such... but in this movie it didn't seem Dr. Doom had any kind of special powers. I do know that in the 2005 movie he does...but which is true to the comics... I am not sure. The effects and such shows the low budget of this film... but most of it don't look to bad. I was surprised to see a very young Mercedes McNab (Harmony on Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel series) plays the younger version of Sue Storm. Which I would have had no idea of if I didn't spot her name in the credits. But as I said... over all it is a fun film... but definitely nothing to get excited about. And I like having it in my collection for the rarity if nothing else.My Rating: Out of a Possible 5 (From What Movies I Been Watching on March 17th, 2012) Angel Marathon, a review by addicted2dvdAngel: Season 1 4. I Fall to Pieces Original Air Date: 10/26/1999 Angel aids a woman being stalked by a deranged surgeon who the unnatural ability to track the woman's every move with the aid of detachable body parts. Guest Stars: Elisabeth Rohm Tushka Bergen Andy Umberger Carlos Carrasco My Thoughts: This is a good episode. Has an interesting storyline. And the effects were pretty cool as well. Seeing hands movie by themselves and an eyeball floating in the air. Of course Cordelia gets excited over the first money coming into the company. and Doyle still having the hots of Cordelia but can't bring himself to tell her.
