Matango (1963)
Kicks Ass
Anyone who doesnt think this movie kicks ass, is an idiot! Beyond the Japanese shlock factor, is atmosphere and tension so thick, you can cut it with a knife. This is movie is waaaaaay too cool for the likes of you readers who rate it anything less than a 10! Get a clue!
How I Spent My Summer Vacation (1967)
I NEED THIS MOVIE
Okay, this is the best movie ever! Its not on video, and i haven't seen it in 10-12 years. Every summer's end, I hope that my local TV stations will play it...BUT THEY NEVER *##(% DO! This movie is a lost treasure. I'm sure one day, critics and art house hags will be jonesing over 'discovering' another 'Carnival of Souls' or 'Henry - Portrait of a Serial Killer' (this movie isnt like either one, however). Or I just might end up seeing this under Taratinos' 'Rolling Thunder' video release label, as he gives his stamp of approval....but I digress.
This movie rocks. If I was a director, and had to remake a movie, I would do this in a heart beat. Robert Wagner is excellent. Peter Lawford is sooooo damn smug as a law breaking jet setter. Robert Wagners 60's beatnik vibe, matched against Peter Lawford's 50's swank is brilliantly played out for a "winner" take all. As Mr.Pine would say, "To the victor goes the spoils".
I just cant explain it in words, right up there with Mamets 'House of Games' or 'Glengary GlenRoss'.
