Yes, it’s Family Day, that elitist holiday that doesn’t guarantee a day off for the eloctorate at large, except those under the provincial and banking employ. On this otherwise standard working day for regular stiffs, I’ve uploaded a long and windy review of Blake Edwards’ underrated suspense classic Experiment in Terror (1962), newly released by Twilight Time in Blu-ray, sporting a clean stereo isolated score track of Henry Mancini’s excellent music.
A taste of the latest entry in the TIFF Bell Lightbox’s fun media series Packaged Goods: Artful Animation, which screens Wed. Feb. 20th, and features a post-screening discussion with Gerald Ding, Creative Director of Psyop.
Just uploaded is a podcast with Fernando Velazquez, the lauded Spanish composer of the current box office hit Mama. Also new: Editor’s Blog on nostalgic horror, plus reviews of Joe Dante’s underrated and very badly treated The Hole (Alliance / EOne), and the underrated Devil (Universal), the latter featuring a terrifying score by Velazquez.
Just up is a review of Twilight Time’s sparking Blu-ray of Jean Negulesco’s The Rains of Ranchipur (1955), the second film version of Louis Bromfield’s 1937 novel. Also added: a review of the 1939 original The Rains Came, plus some genuine editorial blather.
In Part 2 of this highly sporadic series, I’ve uploaded a review of Steve McQueen’s Le Mans (1971), remastered in 2011 for Blu-ray by Paramount. Also: the Le Mans soundtrack review added to KQEK.com Mobile.
