Getting Behind Your Product



Because you openly advertize that it blows chunks.

"'4d' if you're wasted," indeed.

Not as wasted as the exec who thought that tagline was "edgy" and "hip," though.

Decisions, Decisions

Geek Hell
What to do?
Obviously it's box set or tin - and yes, I understand getting the tin collector's set is quite the big girl's blouse maneouver. I'll have you know you'll only find two other such "collectibles" on my shelves : "Wicker Man" and "Battle Royale" so go get biblically intimate with yourself. Normally the tin would not be considered, ah but this tin...the Kong tin...complete with "20-page reproduction of the original 1933 souvenir program, King Kong original one-sheet reproduction postcards and a mail-in offer for a reproduction of a vintage theatrical poster"... Program! Lobby Cards! Poster!

But the box set has the unjustly underrated "Son of Kong" and "Mighty Joe Young," two of the finer kid's monster flicks ever made...

What to do?

"Ahhhhhh!"

He Shoulda Stayed Home


Manhattan Melodrama
Dillinger died for this?!?

The once-promising Gable continues his downward slide with this confused piece of celluloid. Loy and Powell add some life to this turgid, erratic tale of murder, love and friendship as two guttersnipes grow up to face each other over the great legal divide.

A stand up fella could learn alot about standing up for his pals in this crazy mixed up world from this movie - if its sense of ethics didn't ricochet back and forth between the Sophomoric and the Sunday Scholastic.

Here's hoping for better from Loy and Powell's next feature. I fear Gable's best days are behind him.


"Eh"

It's called the PG-13 horror film.
