2014-11-27 Living under / a rock 'Quick thinking' the pastoral type says it better to Michael Palin's character Dennis in Terry Guillam's Jabberwocky , 'but not quick enough to save / your skin.' What it is - as far as this reviewer is cincerned before / during / after this third viewing of the film - is that your man Dennis, a Middle Ages simpleton, heads off to the local village, before during and after being renounced by his own Da and falling in love with the local town bike, to seek his fame / and fortune. This being a Terry Guillam - of Monty Python's Flying Circus fame, for those who live under / a rock - movie, societal mores and habits of the time are mercilessly mocked, even as they are celebrated, 'beware' the street beggar says...

2014-11-20 Koyaanisqatsi There is a new word people up on out on up on out on up up here, and that word / is 'Koyaanisqatsi'. Not for the first - or last - time during the course of hulk-smashing away at these Take This Thing Back to Baltimore me-moirs and Koyaanisqatsi , Cin is certain that he's videed a Thing before, and then went on and on and on about it, only to 'forget' - What Would Jack Say as Jack Torrence to wife Wendy in Kubrick’s take on your The Shining , innit Mr. King - 'that the whole god-damned Thing / ever happened.' ...
2014-11-18 Haha good times, 'six goats' Flash's slogan has it better, 'for seven / glories' Cinstead it's Dr. No horroredux, only as a punishment for this horroreviewer for falling prey to Dr. Sleep, it's the Extra Features of the DVD, namely the Audio Commentary with everone and their brother going on and on and on as James Bond cavorts with one lovely after / another. Unless Cin's heritage disallows him from hearing these affected and pickled English people correctly be©ause his I®ish / up, this was the first Bond film and therefore of certain historical / value. When oh when will do the Audio Commentary track for Nundercover , innit Cash. ...

'Their sacrifices', Nick Nolte's middle-management officer says it better in this movie, of his family's, well, sacrifices for his career, 'like water spilled / on the ground.' And 'dying', the Admiral says it better / to himself, 'slowly, like a tree.' It's a nice line, and incidently, 'accidently' Warren Zevon sings it better in his song of the same name, 'like / a martyr.' Yes it's time for this Thirsty Thursday's The Thin Red Line horroreview, to cap off haha this Week of Wa® films. Both will last as long as your humble / humbled / humiliated horroreviewer does, which is to say - given ...
