July 07, 2017 <I>Spider-Man: Homecoming</I> Review: Finally, a superhero without any anguish! Homecoming fuses the kinky-swiftness of the original superhero movies. Pre-planning is the name of the game in the entertainment industry. Take Marvel's film calendar, for example: it's jam-packed until 2020, and we'd be naïve to think.

Companion film to THE KILLER IS STILL AMONG US, based on a true story of the Italian serial killer who terrorized Florence. In Italian with English subs. Gory & nasty giallo, based on the real- life killings that shocked Italy! The killer here enjoys slaying couples that make love inside cars.
This is actually one of the 2 films which were made at the same year (the other one is THE KILLER IS STILL AMONG US!) with the intention to exploit those shocking murders! Needless to say these films prompted anger from the victims' families. Uncut & slightly letterboxed. Cesare Ferrario's . The movie is quite creepy at times, and although it's certainly not the most suspenseful thing ever brought to screen, it has a certain eerie atmosphere, which is intensified by a pretty cool (though in no way outstanding) score. Several gruesome murders of young couples have occurred around Florence since 1.
In 1. 98. 5, when this series of murders has not yet come to an end, Writer Andreas Ackermann (Leonard Mann) is currently writing a book about the killings, and therefore works on some kind of psychological profile of the mysterious psychopath..

This time is Bologna, already plagued by drug racket, to be hit by a ruthless gang of pillaged, that make difficult life for the retailers. Commissioner Grifi organizes a very special team and began his action against the impregnable Valli and his gang. Director: Domenico Paolella Cast: Marcel Bozzuffi ..
Beautiful letterboxed version of this outstanding film, with great performances by an outstanding cast. Impeccably styled and shot, Francesco Maselli's hyper- elegant 1. Bertolucci's 'The Conformist' and Godard's 'Contempt' as the best- ever film of an Alberto Moravia novel.
All the acting is first- rate: Paulette Goddard as a faded grande dame, Claudia Cardinale and Tomas Milian as her wayward offspring, Shelley Winters as her scheming 'best friend' and Rod Steiger as the coarse and ruthless businessman who holds them all in his power. The evocation of the period is almost eerie in its perfection. Did Marcel Escoffier and Luigi Scaccianoce really design those luscious costumes and sets, or did they wander into a haunted house where ghosts live that way?
The 1. 00 Best Horror Movies of the 1. Everybody likes horror movies, but not everybody has the time to really delve into them and explore the genre. There are just too many, and unless you’re actively making your living as a film critic, it is entirely understandable if you don’t have the time. But that’s how misconceptions get started, those misleading observations based only on the most visible motion pictures in a genre, like the frequently expressed belief that the 1.
That’s not really fair. The 1. 99. 0s were, if we take a serious look at it, an exceptionally interesting time for the horror movie genre, although that does perhaps have something to do with the fact that it was going through an identity crisis. The 1. 98. 0s were easily defined as an era of slasher thrillers and ambitious gore films, but those trends were already dying out by the time the 1.
The late 1. 99. 0s would eventually be defined by Scream and the ironic genre commentaries that emerged in its wake, but the majority of the decade was an amorphous time period in which filmmakers experimented with new ideas, toyed around with the old ones, and produced a lot of exciting movies as a result. Of course not every horror movie from the 1. A couple of the most popular ones didn’t even make this list, and we’ve already produced an entire downloadable commentary track, available free of charge, that explains why Event Horizon is one of them. But despite their absence it still wasn’t difficult to compile this list of one hundred great – and if not great then at least entertaining (or at least extremely interesting) – horror movies from throughout the decade. These films reveal just how diverse and fascinating the genre really was in the 1. So the next time someone tells you that horror movies sucked in the 1.
Even some of the so- called “bad” horror movies of the era are worthy of new eyes twenty years later, and it may surprise you to learn that they play a lot better now than they did the first time. Let’s get rolling with.
The Burning Moon (1. Intervision. German filmmaker Olaf Ittenbach didn’t just make The Burning Moon, he got away with it. It’s the sort of film makes you want to call the police. Shot on home video, Ittenbach’s movie is the sick tale of a demented teen telling his little sister bedtime stories, but they are completely unacceptable for children or even adults of any age, detailing detestable murders and finally a descent into one of the most gruesome Hells ever conceived. It doesn’t belong in your home video library, it belongs in evidence locker.
But there’s a market for that sort of thing. Man’s Best Friend (1. New Line Cinema. Can a film have multiple personality disorder? John Lafia’s killer dog movie doesn’t quite know if it wants to be Air Bud or Cujo, and it races back and forth between family- friendly jokes and horrifying imagery like a dog repeatedly catching a stick.
It’s the story of a newspaper reporter who liberates a dog from a shady laboratory, only to discover that it’s a dangerous, genetically enhanced organism that can turn invisible, eat cats whole and even cut her boyfriend’s brakes. Man’s Best Friend is definitely ridiculous, but it’s also entertaining from start to finish.
Popcorn (1. 99. 1)Studio Three Film Corporation. A group of film students rents out a movie theater for an all- night horror film festival, complete with William Castle gimmicks like Smellovision and electrified seats, but in all the crowd- pleasing commotion nobody seems to notice that a maniac is murdering everyone offstage. Clever deaths and an unexpected, charismatic villain make Popcorn one of the better slashers you’ve probably never heard of. My Boyfriend’s Back (1. Touchstone Pictures.
Bob Balaban directed one of the scariest horror comedies in history, but that was Parents, back in 1. In the 1. 99. 0s the Close Encounters of the Third Kind co- star returned to the director’s chair for a goofier but still very likable zombie rom- com, about a teen who asks the hottest girl in school to the prom just before he dies. The thing is, when she says yes, out of pity, he refuses to stay dead. Can he still be the good- natured John Hughes underdog when he needs to eat his fellow classmates to survive? Boasting an eccentric sense of humor and weird early performances by Matthew Mc. Conaughey and Philip Seymour Hoffman, My Boyfriend’s Back is an oddball treat.
Giggles (1. 99. 2)Universal Pictures. Dr. Giggles was marketed like it was going to be the next great slasher franchise, but nobody saw the danged thing. That’s a pity, because they probably would have liked it just fine.
Larry Drake plays a homicidal doctor who metes out violence on his patients while uncontrollably giggling to himself, in a performance that’s campy, but creepy nevertheless. It may not have broken the mold, and it may not have broken into the public consciousness, but it’s gradually finding a cult audience who recognize that it’s one of the most underrated late- era slashers. Thinner (1. 99. 6)Paramount Pictures. Based on a novel by Stephen King, published under his pseudonym “Richard Bachman,” Thinner is a cynical morality tale that probably would have made for a classic Tales from the Crypt episode. As a movie it’s a little longer than it needs to be, but it’s engagingly directed by Tom Holland (Fright Night) and features one of Robert John Burke’s best performances. Burke plays an obese lawyer who uses his political connections to avoid a prison sentence after he accidentally kills a gypsy with his car.
The gypsy’s husband curses him to lose weight, uncontrollably, until he dies. It’s a solid “be careful what you wish for” nightmare, with a vicious anti- moral streak. Nobody wants to become a better person in Thinner.
They’ll do damn near anything to save themselves. Alien: Resurrection (1. Century Fox. Alien: Resurrection is not a great movie, but it’s an extremely interesting one, and the first Alien sequel to truly revel in the perverse psychosexual imagery that H. R. Giger originally envisioned for the series way back in 1. Ripley, played by a strong and sensual Sigourney Weaver, has been cloned in the future but her DNA has been mingled with the alien xenomorphs she died trying to exterminate in the first place. The action scenes are a mess and the supporting cast is too kooky for their own good, but when Alien: Resurrection focuses on the strange new relationship between Ripley and her enemy – closer than ever, both familial and sexual – it’s a twisted and oddly enjoyable entry in the franchise.
Bad Moon (1. 99. 6)Warner Bros. Bad Moon might have been more popular if the title was more honest.
Let’s face it: Eric Red’s under- appreciated thriller should have been called Lassie vs. The Wolfman. A single mom invites her estranged brother back home, but he’s not just distant, he’s cursed, and only the family dog knows that good ol’ Uncle Ted (played particularly well by Michael Par. Sure enough, their faithful pooch gets blamed for all the maulings, and eventually there’s a scene where the little boy screams as the Humane Society drags the dog away, while the dog barks its head off trying to warn his ungrateful masters of the danger in their midst.
The special effects aren’t great – in fact, sometimes they’re just terrible – but Bad Moon still knows how to hit you in the gut. Anaconda (1. 99. 7)Columbia Pictures. Good old- fashioned monster movie nonsense.
A documentary film crew treks their way through the Amazon and runs across a Paraguayan trapper played, with absolute scenery- chewing glee, by Jon Voight. He tricks them into helping him hunt a rare and gigantic anaconda, a quest which eventually gets practically everybody killed. A silly premise, filmed well, featuring an unusually great ensemble cast that includes Jennifer Lopez, Owen Wilson, Ice Cube, Danny Trejo and Eric Stoltz. Wishmaster (1. 99. Live Entertainment.
