My Thoughts:
I have been curious about this animated film since I first seen it listed at Amazon a  year or so ago. So needless to say I was excited when a friend of mine gave me the DVD out of her DVD/Blu-ray Combo pack. I have enjoyed the Green Lantern character every since I was a kid. I like how they did this film... making it an anthology. Though I personally would have liked to seen more Hal Jordan in the film. As the stories focused on the others in the Green Lantern Corp. Even with that I enjoyed this one quite a bit... matter of fact it put me in the mood for the live action movie. Worth the time put in to watch it!

My Rating:
Out of a Possible 5

[Earth vs.] The Spider, a review by GSyren


TitleThe Spider (5-060009-232708)
DirectorBert I. Gordon
ActorsGene Persson, Ed Kemmer, Gene Roth, Hal Torey, June Kenney
Produced1958 in United States
Runtime72 minutes
AudioEnglish Dolby Digital Mono
SubtitlesDutch, German
Overview
My thoughtsBert I. Gordon (aka Mr B.I.G.) isn't the most brilliant filmmaker in the world, but for a B-movie fan his films were almost always a lot of fun.

There are lots of things wrong with [Earth vs.] The Spider. I guess you'll have to disregard the fact that animals cannot grow that much bigger and still keep the same proportions. It's physically impossible, but it kind of goes with the territory of big bug movies.

The spider seems to be a tarantula, but tarantulas don't spin a web. The web looks like a cargo net, and not anything like a spider's net. The spider easily fits inside the school auditorium, but when we see it outside it's as big as a house. The spider is killed by an electric arc that is at least 30 foot, but the electric lines into the cave lie next to each other without any spark-over, and people hold the electrodes with just a rubber glove. The actors playing teenagers are way too old for their parts. One of them is in his mid thirties!

Despite all this there is something about this film that appeals to me. I can't quite say what it is. The story might be hookey, but at least it keeps the action going. The effects are inventive, if not always totally successful. But they're still more fun than a lot of the CGI crap we see today.

The Flash Marathon, a review by addicted2dvd


The Flash Marathon

Image: The Flash

Episode 3 - Watching the Detectives
Is The Flash a political pawn? A crooked D.A. discovers the superhero's civilian identity and uses that information to blackmail him into becoming his secret accomplice.

Guest Stars:
Richard Belzer as Joe Klein
Joyce Hyser as Megan Lockhart
Vito D'Ambrosio as Bellows

My Thoughts:
Another good episode. They decided to get the "what could happen if someone finds out who the Flash is" storyline out of the way pretty early in the series.

My Rating:
