DVD Savant: Equinox, A Fine Madness and Homecoming
This week the DVD Savant has a number of new reviews including: Equinox -
Criterion creates an ode to the "Purveyors of the Lost Arts" of special effects, through a semi-amateur monster movie; The Gang that Couldn't Shoot Straight -
Jerry Orbach, Lionel Stander and Robert De Niro star in a wildly uneven gangster comedy that doesn't know when enough slapstick is too much; A Fine Madness - Irvin Kershner's oddball comedy pits New York poet Sean Connery against women, psychiatrists and the summons servers who pursue him all over midtown Manhattan; Masters of Horror: Homecoming -
Joe Dante uses his 60 minutes of prime cable time to dispense a political fantasy-satire about real horror; The Curse of the Crying Woman - this prime classic Mexi-Horror is a misogynist re-think of the traditional Llorona figure as a vindictive witch-vampire; The Witch's Mirror - a shocker grab-bag that throws together gothic elements, a major dose of gory medical horror and even a bit of The Hands of Orlac; Street Law - Franco Nero shows us his limitations as an actor in this rather blatant Italian rip-off of the Charles Bronson movie Death Wish. Read all this and more in this week's DVD Savant.
