Criminally Insane (AKA Crazy Fat Ethel ~ 1975)

Utterly bizarre no-budget (I think all the money went on the camera) horror flick. The plot (seems a stretch to even call it that) revolves around Ethel Janowski (Priscilla Alden), '250 pounds of maniacal fury' (as it says on the poster) released from a psychiatric hospital (where she'd been committed for bouts of depression and violence) into the care of her grandmother. Ethel is instructed to attend outpatient appointments for electroshock therapy and to lose weight for the sake of her overall health. However, Ethel has no intention of doing either, and when it becomes obvious that grandmother is determined to make sure she does do them Ethel dispatches her with a kitchen knife. She then arranges for a delivery of groceries, but when she hasn't got the money to pay for them she kills the delivery boy with a broken bottle. And so it goes on; anyone who gets between Ethel and her food or who looks like they might be on the trail of what she's been up to get's stabbed/chopped/bludgeoned and added to the pile of corpses locked in her grandmother's bedroom. And that's pretty much it. We get a police officer (played by John Carpenter regular George 'Buck' Flower) investigating the disappearance of the delivery boy, plus Ethel's prostitute sister and her pimp who both decide they're going to move in with Ethel for a while (as well as the sister's 'clients' showing up at all hours). It's not hard to guess who will and who won't make it to the end of the picture. It's directed by prolific softcore and exploitation filmmaker Nick Millard (who seems to have had more aliases than Bruno Mattei!), here under the name of 'Nick Phillips'. There's plenty of blood, although most of it looks like someone kicked over a tin of red paint and the kills are pretty corny. It's by no means a good film, but as a grim, gritty, grainy, 'grubby' piece of 70s American cinema it has something. 5/10

SPECTACULAR SPIDERMAN : SEASON 2 ( 2009)




OPENING NIGHT( 2009)
A Test of a maximum security vault puts Spiderman in the crosshairs of his deadliest foes and in contact with Black Cat and her father,
the man who killed Uncle Ben.




THE FINAL CURTIN ( 2009)
The true identity of the Green Goblin is called into question in the series finale.



I'm a close to 20 years late to the party with regards to the Spectacular Spiderman .
I had alot of stuff going on in 2008 and 2009 , and in my late 20s, I had long stopped watching Saturday Morning cartoons, which is when the show aired here in LA County.

I'd always heard how great the series was from younger fans , and I'm proud to say, having binged most of the episodes, the show truly lives up to the hype.
As an old school fan of the 90s Animated series, I think this one is on the same level as an outstanding interpretation of the Spiderman saga.

The humor is hysterical, and Josh Keaton is one of my favorite portrayals of Spiderman and Peter Parker.

Unlike alot of recent Spiderman cartoons, the character is isolated from the larger Marvel Universe , and as a result, is able to shine all on his own ,
without the need of crossovers and team ups.

I really enjoyed the new spins on classic characters , while having enough winks an nods to the then current , Raimi Spiderman films.

I can't say enough good things about this series, and I feel it's series run was way to short .
Hopefully it'll get a revival ala X Men 97' for it's 20th anniversary , and we'll see what happened to this Peter Parker , and his supporting cast.

Finally someone else who has experienced this.

I thought it was hilarious. Ethel's love of vanilla wafers and her blasé attitude ''anyway, I'm going to watch Gunsmoke.''

I forgot about that line! What got me was Ethel's sister complaining that her boyfriend/pimp had 'beat the hell out of her'. Then when later he tells her he loves her she demands to know why, if he loves her, he beat the hell out of her. He answers 'All women need a beating now and then, especially you'! She thinks on that for a second, gives a 'fair enough' kinda look and has happily has sex with him! I know it was the 70s, but man!

Ju-On: White Ghost (2009)

Always liked this entry in the Ju-On/Grudge franchise. It has one of the creepiest opening scenes ever for a haunted house movie (the cake delivery). 8/10
