DVD Review - The Fearless Vampire Killers Warner Home Video took a long time to bring "The Fearless Vampire Killers" to DVD and as such it is a bit disappointing that the transfer has not undergone any sort of restorative effort. It serves the film very well and although the frequency response is audibly limited at times, it is never distracting and adds to the vintage gothic atmosphere of the film placing it squarely in the pantheon of great classic horror movies. Striking visuals that boldly use colors and a remarkably lush production design are the trademark of the film, as well as some of the most hilarious antics you may have seen in a horror spoof. www.dvdreview.com /reviews/DVD/1940.shtml   (785 words)

Amazon.com: Fearless: Music From The Original Soundtrack: Music: Various Artists I was so moved by the use of Gorecki's 3rd Symphony in the film 'Fearless' and how it beautifully it illustrated the drama and piognancy of the film that I have chosen this film and score to teach this. The movie Fearless movie soundtrack has every song in it that made it good.

The Fearless Vampire Killers (1967) aka The Fearless Vampire Killers or Pardon me But Your Teeth are in My Neck; Dance of the Vampires The film is better when it comes to its puncturing of the cliches of the vampire genre, in particular the one created by Hammer films - the masque is a direct spoof of Kiss of the Vampire (1962). The production values for the film are excellent - rather than the painted backdrop that would stand in for the standard Hammer castle, the castle is built with impressive three-dimensional detail over an entire soundstage. The middle of the film is taken up by at least a half-hour of running around the castle that seems to go on forever. www.moria.co.nz /horror/fearlessvampkillers.htm   (586 words)

The Fearless Vampire Killers Not once within The Fearless Vampire Killers’ 111-minutes do the title characters, played by the late Jack MacGowran and the film’s director, Roman Polanski, kill a vampire, fearlessly or otherwise. Overall, there’s little dialogue in The Fearless Vampire Killers, and the few snatches I detected were unintelligible. The lush, colorful look of the film is as impressive as the best Hammer productions, which would appear to have influenced this film, but, in content, it barely approaches the worst. www.angelfire.com /oh2/writer/fearlessvampirekillers.html   (233 words)

DVD.net : Fearless - DVD Review Fearless is a treasure of the Warner Brothers back catalogue, a brilliant film that will eventually find its place as one of the jewels of cinema history. Fearless, according to cinematographer Allen Daviau, was shot hard-matted to 1.66:1 in the camera but with both 1.66:1 (Europe) and 1.85:1 (US/Australia) projection in mind. Fearless, though, is certain to be remembered as one of the best of his career. www.dvd.net.au /review.cgi?review_id=2278   (1503 words)

Fearless Vampire Killers, The - DVDs and VHS - MovieMail UK Although much of The Fearless Vampire Killers appears to be on a par with the excessive frivolity of other sixties comic extravaganzas such as The Great Race, What’s New Pussycat and Casino Royale, the film’s beauty and artfulness cannot be ignored. But it is as a sumptuous visual experience that The Fearless Vampire Killers remains in the memory; Polanski may have been fooling around and letting his hair down, but his artistic presence still dominates the proceedings. The film also gave his real wife-to-be Sharon Tate her highest profile screen role (two years later, notoriously, she was murdered by the Manson gang) and features some good comic turns from old pros such as Alfie Bass. www.moviemail-online.co.uk /films/7024   (689 words)

The Fearless Vampire Killers - Movie Review The Fearless Vampire Killers has the bright, cheap look of the kind of Hammer horror films that were produced in abundance in its day, and a tone that’s marvelously balanced between garish horror and broad, neck-breaking comedy. The film follows the adventures of one Professor Abronsius (Jack MacGowran) and his classically bumbling assistant Alfred (well played by Polanski himself), the fearless killers of the title, whose travels take them to a Transylvanian inn blanketed with snow. The Fearless Vampire Killers was Polanski’s first big-budget feature, and it was saddled with its terrible title (The Fearless Vampire Killers, or Pardon Me, But Your Teeth Are in My Neck in full) by a nervous studio for its American release. www.contactmusic.com /new/film.nsf/reviews/thefearlessvampirekillers   (451 words)

Xiibaro Reviews: Don't Say a Word, The Fearless Vampire Killers, Halloween, Jaws, Rosemary's Baby, and The Shining There are many great set pieces found in The Fearless Vampire Killers, including a gay vampire and a Jewish vampire (his reaction to a crucifix has to be the funniest line in the movie). The star of Halloween, despite the normal obsession with the killer(s) that occurs in the post-Halloween horror films, is Jamie Lee Curtis as Laurie Strode. The film opens as two inept vampire hunters come to a small Eastern European town looking for their next capture. www.cinema-scene.com /archive/03/43.html#Shining   (5820 words)

Dual Lens - Fearless Vampire Killers Fearless Vampire Killers has its moments, but in watching it I couldn’t figure out why it had the positive reputation that it does. One of the better scenes involves the gay vampire who tries to seduce Alfred including the vampire film’s typical blurring of the lines between sex and death, lust and consumption. I feel sorry for what happened to sharon…she was a real beauty and acting in the fearless vampire killers just proves it. www.duallens.com /index.asp?reviewId=90402   (715 words)

Fearless Vampire Killers, The - Review - Pardon Me, But your teeth are on my neck Dance of the Vampires (1967) (UK)While probably not everyone's cup of tea, Polanski's loving spoof (or was it a tribute?) to Hammer Film’s vampire movies of the 50’s and 60’s (specifically Brides of Dracula) is often hilarious and sometimes even suspenseful. Like most successful spoofs of the horror genre (Young Frankenstein etc.), Fearless Vampire Killers maintains a high amount of reverence for its subject matter, treating it with a certain subtle amount of respect amidst all the pratfalls and laughs. This is film art more than fun, and I wouldn’t trade in all the magnificent features for an ounce of extra humor. www.dooyoo.co.uk /vhs-title-f/fearless-vampire-killers-the/26710   (485 words)

The Fearless Vampire Killers, or Pardon Me but Your Teeth Are in My Neck - zonExplorer The Fearless Vampire Killers is a film that is as creepy as it is funny. The snow-capped mountains and winter skies make for a lush tapestry in which to set a vampire film. For instance, in one scene, a young woman is bitten on the throat while bathing, and the scene slowly escalates before finally climaxing in an ejaculation of soapy water. www.celtic-one-design.com /php/B0002KQNJU.htm   (997 words)

Fearless (1993) When a film like "Fearless" even inspires a music video (Brian McKnight's "Back At One"), then you know that this movie will have a lasting effect and with cable, VHS and DVD, it'll never be forgotten. When I first saw "Fearless" in a movie theater, I believe there were about 20 to 30 other moviegoers in the theater on a weekday afternoon. His character may not be very likeable but put yourself in his character's shoes and you may understand the reasons why he believes that he is "fearless". www.imdb.com /title/tt0106881   (743 words)

Amazon.ca: Video: Fearless Fearless is a life affirming experience and an important overlooked film. Fearless is less an exploration of grief than it is simply an intense look at the entire world of someone whose life is nearly taken. And Fearless never always seems like it's like the movie it appears to be, proof again of Weir's incredible talent of looking at a theme from another angle (what made Master and Commander an intimate character drama and not a mindless actioner). www.amazon.ca /exec/obidos/ASIN/0790733412   (1277 words)

FEARLESS TALES FEARLESS TALES GENRE FEST runs Tuesday through Saturday at the Victoria Theater (2961 16th St.) and the Castro Theatre (429 Castro St.) in San Francisco. San Francisco is traditionally a haven for the international or social-issue film festival, but this marks the largest horror-fantasy showcase in memory for movies that dare to deal with humankind's darkest side. Landis, 54, who will also receive the Fearless Vision award, was driving down a Hollywood freeway at rush hour when I spoke to him recently. www.sfgate.com /cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2005/03/27/PKGTIBRLQF1.DTL&type=movies   (1264 words)

O.F.C.S.: The Online Film Critics Society Fearless becomes more rich and intriguing with repeat viewings, and the film has haunting observations about how people react to catastrophic events. Fearless was passed over at the box office and was overlooked during the awards season because it had the misfortune of coming out the same year (1993) as Bridges plays Max Klein, an architect who miraculously survives a plane crash and even manages to save many of his fellow passengers. ofcs.rottentomatoes.com /pages/pr/1990overlooked/ofcs10   (240 words)

Elephant (2003) The depiction of a vulnerable American youth in prey to the major plagues of her country, especially violence linked with guns, the fearless "Elephant" is this and more. Van Sant's film hits its stride from the first minutes. Ultimately, Van Sant's directorial style has something aerial coupled with a documentary side which pervades a major part of the film. www.imdb.com /title/tt0363589   (986 words)

Movie Info for Blade: Trinity on MSN Movies A fearless warrior immune to vampires, Blade (Snipes) has become a hated enemy of the bloodsucking community, and as they gather in their desert compound, a group of vampires is plotting to eliminate Blade once and for all by turning the mortal community against him. Blade: Trinity was directed by David Goyer, who also wrote the screenplay for this film, as well as the first two movies in the series.

Bewitched The A.V. Club Bewitched piles miscalculation upon miscalculation, beginning by casting the iron-willed Kidman, one of film's gutsiest and most fearless actresses, as a regressive pre-feminist dumb-blonde doormat, a sort of mildly retarded amalgam of Marilyn Monroe, Renée Zellweger, and Meg Ryan. Which makes Bewitched a real feature-film adaptation of a real '60s television show, with a plot about the fake revival of said show, starring an oblivious actor and a real witch. He shows up late in the film, seemingly out of nowhere, playing Ferrell's hallucination of Lynde's character from the TV Bewitched. www.avclub.com /content/node/163   (465 words)

Film School - Epitonic.com: Hi Quality Free and Legal MP3 Music Film School has a flair for majestic, spellbindingly moody swirls of layered guitar and keyboards, which they juxtapose with driving, sometimes jagged guitar lines and schizophrenic keyboard melodies. Film School flicked into existence in the summer of 1998, when guitarist Krayg Burton started converting some of his musical ideas into 1's and 0's. Shortly after the release of their debut, Film School settled on a permanent five-piece lineup, enlisting drummer Ben Montesano (pinq), keyboardist Jason Ruck, guitarist Nyles Lannon (Reizoko, Splendorbin), and bassist Justin Labo (Current, Ottawa, Technicolor). www.epitonic.com /artists/filmschool.html   (405 words)

Leica Photography Forum: Fearless Feality For Film. Film scanners entered the scene and greatly helped the slide equation, but a film scanner is still nothing more than a digital camera that photographs film, and digital cameras are now approaching the film scan quality factor with less grain and noise. Film is flawed and limited, but it has a quiddity to it that digital capture will never be able to imitate. First, scanning film defeats the advantages of film: scanners are simply not as good as the original emulsion, and there is an inevitable loss of data. www.photo.net /bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg?msg_id=004L32   (11216 words)

Alexander Review Movie Review Film Alexander: Colin Farrell, Anjelina Jolie, Val Kilmer, Anthony Hopkins, Rosario Dawson, Jared Leto, Jessie Kamm, Christopher Plummer; Review by Frank Ochieng; movie reviews, movie posters, celebrity addresses While Alexander is being yanked in all sorts of bewildering directions by outside sources, the worrywart warrior must endure the endless domestic bickering of his conflicting parents King Phillip and Olympias. The history books tell us that the brash ruler was a fearless conqueror who took no prisoners and as a result claimed victorious territories all over the world--Africa and Asia was in his possession before the tender age of 30. However, Alexander is a boorish and bloated costume epic that has all the exciting appeal of a prolonged high school social studies lesson during the thankless hazy days of summer. www.movieeye.com /reviews/read_movie_review/2305.html   (1672 words)

Film Classics: Duel at Diablo The film borders on the precipice of the preposterous, but manages to sidestep most clichés, thanks to its marvelously rousing score and Garner, who provides a vivid portrayal of a savvy, experienced, agile scout who is no longer young and fearless but tired and angry. The film is very sensitive to Native Americans and perhaps no other film so brilliantly captures the contradictions and happenstances that really did flourish in the shaping and forging of the "American" West. Indeed, the crossed loyalties of the principals change and one of the film's strong points is the ambiguity and dilemmas of personal values, especially in crisis. www.thecityreview.com /diablo.html   (780 words)

village voice > film > Bewitched by Michael Atkinson The film is airy and weightless, not like, say, chiffon, but like the black smoke of burning truck tires. Kidman cutes it up, and Ferrell is so fearless in the face of the tasks put before him that he should get a Nobel, but it's nothing they couldn't do while brushing their teeth, or more to the point, paying their bills. I have no idea why Hollywood makes movies derived from TV series that the all-important 15- to 25-year-old ticket-buying demographic has absolutely no firsthand knowledge of, or why those same designated audiences do in fact pay to see them with formidable reliability. www.villagevoice.com /film/0525,atkinson2,65164,20.html   (436 words)

Thunderbirds [Film Soundtrack] price comparison at MSN Shopping Even though the film adaptation of the wonderful, marionette-driven cult classic Thunderbirds kind of missed the point by turning it into a live action Spy Kids wannabe, at least Hans Zimmer's score pays homage to the original show's brassy, fearless sound. While overly praising the score just because it's not as misconceived as the movie it was written for would be rash, Thunderbirds is still a respectable collection of high-energy film music.

Tsui Hark's Vampire Hunters The promise inherent in a chop-socky wu xia opus concerning a quintet of fearless vampire hunters and a cadre of zombies is almost infinite, making the abject failure of the piece something almost awe-inspiring. Please lend your support to Film Freak Central by placing a donation through PayPal. Though it's tempting to blame director Wellson Chin's propensity to stage fight scenes in unrelieved murk, the real culprit of the piece may be a bad guy who looks and moves a lot like a mannequin on a string. www.filmfreakcentral.net /screenreviews/vampirehunters.htm   (440 words)

Amazon.com: Manhattan: DVD As in all of Allen's films, in spite of the ugly ensemble, there is always something touching about the filmmaker's honest and fearless confrontation of the human truth that people make terrible messes of their lives. The ultimate triumph of the film is the vastness of the Manhattan landscape that, like some man made nature, seems to overcome their messes, ultimately redeeming their small transgressions. So when "Manhattan" was released, Woody's first "true" widescreen picture (so much so that Woody insisted this film NEVER be released on video or shown on television without the black bars on the top and bottom of the screen), I wasn't quite sure what to expect. www.amazon.com /exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0792846109?v=glance   (2812 words)

A Selected List of Indian Films & Videos in the Library of Congress: Guides & Finding Aids (Motion Picture and Television Reading Room, LibraryofCongress) However, there are also many films from the Bombay Talkies era, a devotional film (Sant Tukuram) as well as a film featuring the bullwhip-cracking Fearless Nadia (Diamond Queen), and the epic music and dance film Chandralekha. Experts in Indian film will quickly notice that many of these films represent the best of what has been called in India parallel cinema or new cinema; the attempt to produce an intellectual, socially committed body of film in opposition to the immensely powerful commercial cinema of India. While this Division has several outstanding collections of foreign film, the Indian collection is unique because it represents the aesthetic choice of a group of experts in Indian film, the best known being Erik Barnouw. www.loc.gov /rr/mopic/findaid/india.html   (2812 words)
