Cadillac Records (2008)
Absolutely fantastic... must see!
How can anyone write that this film is horrible?? (Maybe if your name is Poison?) I saw this movie twice in a row, and I was equally impressed both times. Can't wait till it's released on DVD, then I'll watch it many times again. The main characters (Muddy Waters, Leonard Chess, Little Walter, Chuck Berry, Howlin' Wolf, Etta James, Willie Dixon) are portrayed very realistic (yes Little Walter was pretty violent) and all the actors did a terrific job. Especially Columbus Short (Little Walter) who scared the heck out of me, and Beyoncé Knowles (Etta James) who caused tears in my eyes on more than one occasion. Man, can this lady sing! This film is a must see for all blues lovers, anyone who wants to know more about the history of music, and all that enjoy a great movie!!
A Return to Salem's Lot (1987)
Based on characters created by Stephen King. I like it !!
Although not an original Stephen King story, but based on characters created by Stephen King, this old school vampire movie is Larry Cohen's sequel to Tobe Hooper's "Salem's Lot", and it's a very good horror movie in it's own right. The special effects and make-up art are pretty neat, and NOT done with computers. Of course you must be a fan of low budget horror movies to enjoy a movie like this. The players, especially Michael Moriarty, did a great job. There are no holes in the plot, it's a good vampire story, and you can have a good laugh too now and then. For instance, when Joe Weber asks his son if he can drive a car, Jeremy answers "Yes, I often borrowed Allen's Mercedes". If you payed attention earlier on, you saw Jeremy's stepfather Allen in a bumped up Mercedes. Very nice, I enjoyed it a lot.
