Abe's Tomb, a review by addicted2dvdTitle: Abe's Tomb Year: 2006 Director: Carl R. Merritt Rating: NR Length: 90 Min. Video: Full Frame 1.33:1 Audio: English: Dolby Digital Stereo Subtitles: N/A Stars: Lisa Adore Ray Basham Sherri Foxx Amanda Fire Carl R. Merritt Plot: Humanity's only hope for continued existence rests solely upon the courage of a small group of police officers and an all-powerfull entity that has long ago, vowed vengeance upon the town. Extras: Scene Access My Thoughts: Well... what can I say... I felt like a vampire movie. So I thought I would see if I could find another good on in the Mortuary of Madness boxset. Unfortunately I wasn't too impressed with Abe's Tomb. While the video quality wasn't bad... the audio had a constant hissing. The writing, while had potential, really needs some help. The acting is only fair at best. Even with that said... it is a vampire movie... and for that reason alone I did get some enjoyment from it. My Rating: Out of a Possible 5 (From Weekend Movie Marathon: Unwatched DVDs on November 13th, 2009) A Page of Madness, a review by AntaresA Page of Madness (1926) 65/100 - This must have been a hell of an experience to view in 1926. Some truly amazing camera work, but without the use of a Benshi narration, it's just a series of rapid fire edits with no narrative. As I was watching I thought of someone with a deck of cards, rifling through them with one finger and they all had pictures of insane people on them. Teal = Masterpiece Dark Green = Classic or someday will be Lime Green = A good, entertaining film Orange = Average Red = Cinemuck Brown = The color of crap, which this film is (From Antares' Short Summations on September 20th, 2020) Tom's TV Pilots marathon, a review by Tom
Plot: FROM THE CREATIVE GENIUS OF IRWIN ALLEN ("Lost in Space," "Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea," The Poseidon Adventure and The Towering Inferno) COMES ONE OF THE MOST POPULAR AND ORIGINAL SCI-FI SHOWS OF THE 1960s! "THE CONTROL OF TIME IS POTENTIALLY THE MOST VALUABLE TREASURE THAT MAN WILL EVER FIND."The Time Tunnel Season 1.01 Rendezvous with Yesterday 09.09.1966 Writer: Irwin Allen (Created By), Harold Jack Bloom (Screenwriter), Shimon Wincelberg (Screenwriter), Irwin Allen (Story By), Shimon Wincelberg (Story By), Harold Jack Bloom (Story By) Director: Irwin Allen Cast: James Darren (Tony Newman), Robert Colbert (Doug Phillips), Michael Rennie (Capt. Malcolm Smith), Susan Hampshire (Althea Hall), Gary Merrill (Senator Leroy Clark), Lee Meriwether (Dr. Ann MacGregor), Wesley Lau (Master Sgt. Jiggs), John Zaremba (Dr. Raymond Swain), Whit Bissell (General Heywood Kirk), Don Knight (Grainger), Jean-Michel Michenaud (Marcel), John Winston (The Guard), Brett Parker (Countdown Technician) A good introduction to a good series (at least the first half of this series I enjoyed). Compared to later episode, the complex containing the time tunnel is much much bigger here. The sheer size of it is mind-boggling here, but later it seems the project only employs a few people in a much smaller environment. Rating: (From Tom's TV Pilots marathon on November 11th, 2012) |
