THE MAGNIFICIENT SEVEN RIDE (1972) - Who doesn't like Lee Van Cleef as he stars in Yul Brenners place as Chris. This time Chris finds his strange bunch from a Mexican prison as Chris incidently helps out an old friend. Another good Western to seek out.
GUNS OF THE MAGNIFICIENT SEVEN (1969) - The best of the THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN sequels. I really enjoyed this film even if George Kennedy wasn't my idea of one to play Yul Brenners role, but he did manage to make this film work. They had a good assortment of characters for this Western including a young Emilio Zapata who tags along with the knife thrower. They also have one guy they find in a sideshow with only one good arm and another with TB. Again I really enjoyed this film and it's cinematography.
KILLERS FROM SPACE (1954) - Weird eyed aliens come to earth because their sun is going out which has caused their eyes to bulge out (due to lack of light). They prepare an amry of incects on earth in the caves near a atomic bomb test sight. Peter Graves stars as the human is used by the aliens. The aliens are the best part of this film.
THE SNOW CREATURE (1954) - An expedition gets side tracked when one of the guides has to search for his Yeti abducted wife. Our team manages to capture him and bring him to Los Angeles. The best part of the film are the shadowed and distant Yeti images. He likes to come in and out of the light in many scenes.
WHITE PONGO (1945) - Not a bad little film and story. It seems that people of the 40's were fasinated with jungle exploration. Another expidition is in search of an intelligent white ape near the Congo River. The ape is a big uncovincing, but I remember a white ape film as a kid that left quite an impression on me. Maybe this was the film.
THE MANSION OF MADNESS (1972) - From the same director who brought us ALUCARDA this Mexican film is about an asylum were the patients run the place and keep the doctors in cages. The film is ok, but nothing special in my opinion. The opeing and closing scenes are neat with the carriage riding through the country side. Check out ALUCARDA as it is much much better film.
