Blazing Saddles, a review by addicted2dvd

Blazing Saddles: 30th Anniversary Special Edition


My Thoughts:
Today I felt like putting some comedy into my Western marathon... so what better then a Western Spoof. Of course Mel Brooks is the king when it comes to making spoofs... and this movie is no exception. I enjoyed every minute of it. Sure some of it my go a little to far on the dumb side for my taste... but I think that is just part of the fun. I especially enjoyed Harvey Korman... and of course Mel Brooks... they were both hilarious in this movie.

Four Times That Night, a review by Jimmy

Title : Four Times That Night (1972)

Overview
For his sole foray into the sex comedy genre, Mario Bava delivers a swinging orgy of mod design, leering humor and daring late '60s erotica. American leading man Bret Halsey and former Miss Italy Daniela Giordano star in this Rashomon-inspired tale of a playboy and a virgin's first date that may or may not have included rape, nymphomania, lesbianism, and groovy inflatable furniture.

My Impression
Take 2 (my first one was lost because of a server problem and I've forgot to save it before)

This is my favourite from all the Mario Bava's movies that I've watched. This movie had a naivety that I like, this is a sex comedy but with nothing shocking in it. The movie tell a love date between a man and woman that doesn't end in a perfect way. What make this film special is the way it is tell to the viewer, in fact the night events are told from four differents point of view : the woman, the man, the housing complex janitor and a psychiatrist (the narrator). Of course each versions are different and we never know what had really happen. Well acted, good cinematography (check for the little difference in the decor between the story) and a nice soundtrack. Like I've said this is certainly the most chaste sex comedy that I own, but I really like its charm.

Really recommanded like everything directed by Mario Bava.

Charmed Marathon, a review by addicted2dvd

16. Saving Private Leo
When two ghosts seeking revenge on Leo kill Piper, Phoebe and Paige face the horror of losing another sister.

My Thoughts:
Excellent episode! Is one of my favorites. In this episode we learn a lot about Leo's past. Which I found really interesting.

17. Bite Me
Trying to unseat Cole as ruler of the Underworld, a vampire queen turns Paige into a bloodsucker and urges her to feed on Phoebe and Piper.

My Thoughts:
Another excellent episode. I love pretty much anything to do with vampires... so this is another of my favorite episodes. And lets face it... Paige made one hot looking vampire!

18. We're Off To See The Wizard
Piper and Paige help a wizard stop the coronation of a new Source, unaware that Cole is the Underworld head and Phoebe is his Evil Queen.

My Thoughts:
This one I didn't think to much of. Everyone finds out about Cole in this episode... and Phoebe being pregnant with his child gives in to her own evil urges. As I said many times I do not like Cole. Plus I never cared for the Wizard (thought it was ridiculous how he was done) in this episode... so between the 2 of them this episode pretty much sucked for me.

19. Long Live The Queen
When Phoebe helps her sisters save an innocent, she and Cole face a bloody coup unless she proves her dark allegiance by killing Piper and Paige.

My Thoughts:
Going into this one today... I could have sworn this was one of the ones I didn't care for. But I was wrong. This was a really good... strong episode. I really enjoyed every minute of it. Phoebe really had a fight within herself in this episode. And even though I know we haven't seen the end of him... I definitely enjoyed seeing Cole get blown up.
