From Beyond
From Beyond: A movie that combines sado-masochism and demons from another dimension, will catch your interest and hold it for full effect. The movie was adapted from a story of the same name, by H.P. Lovecraft, and stars Jeffrey combs of Re-Animator fame. Combs plays an assistant to a scientist (with a love for S&M) who builds a machine that opens a gateway to another dimension. Soon, a demon materializes, then takes over the body of the scientist, as Combs character escapes in fear.After telling the story to the police, he is sent to a mental facility, due to the police thinking he lost his mind. Eventually, a beautiful psychologist decides to re-open the case, get Combs' character out of the hospital, and see what really conspired in that house. Let me not spoil the rest of the movie for everyone, but i highly recommend you all watch it. You cannot beat gore, S&M, demons, and Jeffrey "Re-Animator" Combs!!!! Check this mother out!!!
Haxan: Witchcraft Through the Ages
Haxan: Witchcraft through the Ages, as the name states, this film is about the beliefs of people, during the middle ages through early 20th century, about witchcraft and witches. The film was created in 1922 and comes with two audio tracks, one with regular music, the other narrated by William Burroughs and music by Jean-Luc Ponty. The version on my movie page is the second and much better version!!! Have a laugh and enjoy!!
Little Buddha
Little Buddha is a wonderful picture that tells the story of Siddhartha and his journey into becoming the Buddha. This movie stars Keanu Reeves as Siddhartha and intermingles with the story of a sect of Tibetan monks who are looking for the reincarnation of there former master. Their journey leads them to America and India where they feel that some children could be their master reborn. The parents of the first little boy in America are played by Chris Issak and Bridget Fonda. If you enjoy religious tales, this one has a beautiful story scenes, wonderful music, and magnificent landscapes and costumes. Could not find a good trailer, but this clip was one I found that has some scenes and has a Kate Bush song as background music. Enjoy!!

RAN
Watching film known as,"RAN", by the late Akira Kurosawa! Excellent story of a family divided. Starts off with a father who is Lord of large area of land and people. He is aging and decides to step down from his position and give the rulership to one of his three sons who are not happy about the decision of awarding it to the oldest son. Eventually, the sons become divided and end up as enemies. The costumes, scenary, and overall cinematic quality of, "RAN", surpasses the movies of today! No one could bring such grace and eligance from such violent and crafty consequences as Kurosawa. He was an artist with the camera as his brush and the set as his canvas! Check out this film and the many others by Akira Kurosawa!
The Masked Avengers
I am a big fan of the old school martial arts movies of the 70s-80s. My favorite group of actors were known as, "The Venoms". Many people know them from their most famous movie, "The Five Deadly Venoms". They have stared in many other films, including one called, "The Masked Avengers".
In this film, a group of men are in search of a group of killers that wear masks. The Leader of the good guys is played by Chiang Sheng who was the last pupil and younger brother to the five venoms in the first mentioned movie. The other main brother of this group was played by Chin Siu-Ho who was a later addition to the venom troupe. The hero, although a villian originally in this film as well, was played by Kuo Chui (Lizard in 5 deadly Venoms). He was one of the Masked killers, but, eventually, decided to leave due to excessive and uncalled for violence of the other two killers. He was befriended by Chin Siu-Ho, but disliked and untrusted by the rest of the group.
The remaining killers were played by Lu Feng (Centipede in 5 deadly Venoms) and by a later venom called Wang Li. The killers specialty was use of the gold trident, while their subordinates used silver tridents. These killers were mercinaries for hire and stopped at nothing to fullfill their promise to kill everyone they were asked to kill. This included members of Chiang's group, leading to their search for them.
It is a really excellent movie filled with fast and precise fighting sequences, as the Venoms were known for due to their Peking Oprea house training. The movie came out in 1981 and is one of my favorites which i am watching as I write this. Check it out if you enjoy great martial arts cinema!!
