Dementia, a review by Antares

Dementia (1955) 65/100 - After I finished watching this, I perused a few reviews on various websites and a lot of people mentioned David Lynch being influenced by this. I haven't seen enough of Lynch's films to comment either way, but I got a vibe of L.A. Confidential. You get the seedy side of Hollywood, with the gamin being portrayed for a moment as a call girl, the twisted cops following her and the pimp. Was it scary, not at all. In fact, there were moments where I almost turned off the sound, because as talented as Marni Nixon was, hearing her wail like a banshee for minutes on end, started to grate on my nerves. It has its moments, but at an economical 61 minutes, there's just not enough to keep it interesting.

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

I found this film to be just a treat to watch. Cary Grant and Katherine Hepburn are just great in this one. As a lover of animals.... especially the large cats I really enjoyed seeing the leopard in this fiilm. This film is more then worth the time put in to watch it I would highly recommend this one if you never seen it!

Tru Calling Marathon, a review by addicted2dvd

Guest Stars:
Benjamin Benitez as Gardez
Kristoffer Polaha as Mark Evans
Michael Trucco as Nick Kelly
Halie Zastre as Samantha
Jillian Fargey as Diane
Reece Thompson as Kevin

My Thoughts:
This is another episode I enjoyed.... pretty much just as much as I did the pilot episode. I am glad they separated Tru and he college professor early on into the series. I like her being single and open to a relationship better for some reason.

Bonus Features for this Episode:
- Deleted Scenes

My Rating:
