Downtown Cinema (with Malone) Reviews 42ND STREET FOREVER: THE BLU RAY EDITION (Blu-Ray Review)

"42nd Street Forever: The Blu Ray Edition" available now from Synapse Films

Hey Doc, this morning I was doing my pilates, listening to Prince and just fixating on life.  As a matter of fact, “Let’s Go Crazy” came on and the Purple One gave me some insight to it all: “Electric word, ‘life’. It means forever and that’s a mighty long time.  But I’m here 2 tell U there’s something else: The afterworld.”  Pretty deep.  Then I turned on my Blu Ray player and it all just clicked.  Synapse Films has given an afterworld to some of the greatest grindhouse trailers released in the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s through their new 42nd Street Forever: The Blu Ray Edition (available now).  Forever IS a mighty long time clocking in at nearly 4 hours, but every single minute of it is, as the man said, electric.

There’s just something about ghost stories, Doc.  A good one will dole out endless chills and sleepless nights, thrilling you all the while.  Everyone’s heard them (or told them) around the campfire as a kid, the anticipation of the scare being heightened by the lighting and the mood.  It’s not just the tale, it’s the environment that flings you into the story.  As a result, there’s a connection made – something primal and full of feeling.  That’s the very magic of storytelling.  Sadly nowadays, most “scary” movies rely on “torture-porn” tactics to elicit cringes. Story often takes a backseat to gory.  Thankfully, for every seven Saw movies dumped on us, we get one The Woman in Black (available now from Sony Pictures Home Entertainment).  Hammer’s latest horror is a refreshing change of pace for a genre that seems to be limiting itself to sparkly vampires, hallucinating or mentally ill protagonists and gross-out mutilations.  Not only are we treated to a good story, we’re given the privilege of that magical connection that’ll creep the hell out of you.

Snow White & The Huntsman, a Fairytale Thriller (Film Review)

The Brother’s Grimm fairy tale “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” comes to the screen portraying its malevolent power and dark imagery. What makes Snow White & The Huntsman worth the watch is the exciting story, brilliant sets and scenery, inventive cinematography, nicely placed CGI and costumes.  If you want to see the classic Snow White story told the way I believe the Grimm Brothers intended, then Snow White & The Huntsman would be a perfect choice for you.
