The Girl Who Knew Too Much, a review by GSyren


TitleThe Girl Who Knew Too Much (5-027035-011912)
DirectorMario Bava
Actors
Produced1963 in Italy
Runtime86 minutes
AudioItalian PCM Mono, Commentary Dolby Digital Mono
SubtitlesEnglish
Overview
My thoughtsMario Bava was a great cinematographer before he became a celebrated director. Well, perhaps not so much celebrated while he was active as he became later. The Girl Who Knew Too Much The Girl Who Knew Too Much, and perhaps that's part of the reason that it didn't impress me all that much. It might have been different if I had seen it back in the sixties.

So while style over logic doesn't sit that well with me, I can't overlook that the style is very impressive. And although the story is kind of weak, it is still entertaining, so I'll give this a strong three stars.

The Diary of Ellen Rimbauer, a review by addicted2dvd



The Diary of Ellen Rimbauer
A prequel to the hit Stephen King's Rose Red, The Diary of Ellen Rimbauer unveils a story of the twisted marriage of a matriarch to a promiscuous early 20th-Century industrialist and the haunted beginnings of an enormous Seattle mansion that has come to life.

Passages of the diary track a series of deadly encounters surrounding the Rose Red estate that transform Ellen from the innocent and submissive wife into a woman possessed by the dark forces inhabiting her home.


My Thoughts:
I absolutely loved the miniseries Rose Red when I got the DVD (missed original airing)... It is one of my favorite's of Stephen King's work. I was thrilled when I found out there would be a TV Movie prequel to Rose Red... but as luck would have it I missed the original airing if this too. Thankfully it was released on DVD. Now... I don't think this is as good as Rose Red... but I still enjoyed every minute of it! It definitely makes a great companion piece to Rose Red! Hopefully the next time I get in the mood to watch some ghost stories I will watch this and Rose Red back to back.

My Rating:
Out of a possible 5:

He-Man and the Masters of the Universe

It has been now about 25 years since I became a fan of He-Man. I still enjoy this series and the characters even after all this time. For me this is not a series better left as a nostalgic memory. It still holds up.
And I just love the theme music. I never get tired of it.
