Remo Williams: The Adventure Begins (1985)
A policeman, thought dead, is given plastic surgery and a new identity. He is inducted into a secret organization bent on bringing super criminals to justice.
If you've seen a kung fu movie, you've seen it all. The idea of apprehending criminals who are high in business and government is good story matter. But in this film, that's where it starts and ends. The movie just stretches reality to the point where it snaps. Construction workers are instant assassins. Sensitive laboratories have gangsters walking in and out. CEO's are firing .50 caliber machine guns. Please do NOT try dodging bullets at home. This is done by trained professionals.The best actors in the whole 'story' are the demeans. A 9 year old kid would be disappointed with this movie. Earth vs. the Flying Saucers is more down to Earth. Come to think of it, the Road Runner and Coyote has more realism.
The Fall of the House of Usher (1960)
A young man seeks his fiancé' at a "house of horrors."
I am and will always be a great fan of Vincent Price. But the House of Usher is absolutely BORING. This young suitor is going to the house to pick up his fiancé. So he's eating breakfast, lunch and dinner at this house that's falling apart. He carries on several inane conversations with Price(Usher). One is constantly wondering why he doesn't just grab Myrna Fahey(Madeline Usher) and take her away? It's because we must have more inane conversations with Usher and Bristol the Butler. I also wonder about Usher's hearing. He said that he can hear the rats' claws scraping in the walls. But then he plays that horrible mandolin, and that doesn't seem to bother him. Last and least is the house burning to the ground. The viewer just pleads for this movie to END.
