Movies

Hercules in the Haunted World (1961) Directed by Mario Bava. I have seen most of Bava's best films and this is what he was really good at - taking a piece of crap and making it into an amazing, brilliantly colorful and surreal piece of crap. One of the best Hercules movies, but still a Hercules movie. He picks up big things and throws them or hits enemies with them. It's just so colorfully illuminated and doesn't resemble reality in any way, and that's what I really like. 8/10


One Good Turn (1955) Norman Wisdom loses his trousers out a train window, wins a walking race, creates havoc with a symphony orchestra, gets hypnotized to become a boxer, and helps save the orphanage. Not quite as entertaining as some of his others. 6/10
