That's a Great one...one of my Price Picks and scared the hell out of Me at 10.


PLANET OF THE APES (1968)>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>SPOILERS>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Haven't watched this in ages and despite some lampooning over the years, found out that POTA has held up EXTREMELY well...the John Chambers makeup is still effective, wonderful visuals, the score kicks ass and despite a "G" rating, really a grim story. Not crazy about Charlton Heston, but He's pretty good here, along with Roddy McDowell (FRIGHT NIGHT, LEGEND OF HELL HOUSE), Kim Hunter (THE SEVENTH VICTIM, Oscar winner for A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE) , Linda Harrison (Very touching as "Nova" also in AIRPORT 1975 and COCOON) and Maurice Evans (ROSEMARY'S BABY), who is awesome as the seemingly closed minded Dr Zaius, who is trying to cover up what could be a disastrous turn of events for all.
While the ending has been parodied in many formats, it's still a whopper. Saw this on TV when 14- not knowing how it would finish- and was totally blown away. Am glad Heston insisted the closing lines stay in the film; certainly not blasphemy, but rage and sorrow that such a thing could have occurred. *****

LOL That's what I would tell people who've heard me use that closing line in a show I did, 'It's not taking the Lord's name in vain, because he's really asking God to damn them all to hell.'

So those Swamp women... they rob you? Or is it something better?

I don't know, Hammerfan... That's The Phantom From 10,000 Leagues (1955), which I heard totally sucks... not The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms (1953).

oh they get fresh alright! hahaha

actually not really sorry, its really what I'm really referring to is this quote one of the women says to the other woman: "he was trying to get fresh" referring to the tied up guy kissing one of the women unexpectedly sitting next to him

Well, in that case, I'll have to check it out, especially for Beverly Garland and Marie Windsor.


THE SCREAMING SKULL (1958). My Brother and I were sufficiently creeped out by this seeing on TV in the early '70's-remember how He kept a light on for a few days afterwards.
Sadly, growing older and more sophisticated (??), can see the flaws more than anything...the cheap sets, the rushed performances and the hackneyed plot device which turns up towards the end. Still, like seeing William Hudson playing a Husband who is less than ideal, kind of Spooky here and there and didn't notice in Younger days how BUILT Peggy Weber is...Lord Have Mercy::love::! Looked her up and quite a LONG career in film, TV, radio and stage. **1/2

Never seen the Screaming Skull. Doesnt sound worthwhile. ::big grin:: I don't know why I thought that was a Vincent Price film. Must be thinking of something else.
