Amazing Mr No Legs-Looks way better than that beat up VHS rip on Tracker 3 from 20 years ago. The gimmick is all this has really. But what a gimmick it is.

Creature from Black Lake: This is a Bigfoot horror movie that I'd heard about for a while and so, when I saw the Synapse Blu-Ray at G-Fest, I decided to pick it up for the heck of it. Didn't hate it, but didn't think it was all that great, either. I really didn't care about the two lead guys, and wished that Jack Elam and Dub Taylor had bigger roles than they did. Also, the attempts at humor weren't all that funny to me, and the Bigfoot itself, while used sparingly and not being that bad of a design when you finally do see it, still leaves a bit to be desired.

The Hitcher Second Sight Blu-Ray: People were waiting for years for this things to be released, and let me tell you, it was worth the wait. Not only does the movie itself, which, of course, I've seen several times before, look great, but it has basically four audio commentaries (one is scene specific, and the other is an episode of a podcast featuring Robert Harmon, the director, and Rutger Hauer that plays over the movie), interviews with Harmon and screenwriter Eric Red that are like 41 minutes each, an interview with C. Thomas Howell (man, that guy is wired) that's almost half an hour, a couple of other interviews, a featurette about Hauer's career in relation to The Hitcher, two short films by Harmon and Red, and finally, a 38-minute making of that I think was on the old Region 2 DVD release (since Hauer is no longer with us, it's nice to see him talk about the film there). In short, the wait for this movie to have a good home media release is over, and Second Sight really came through.

Someone really wanted to show the invisible mans dick in this one... Regarding the story itself, it's one that sounds better than it is.

The absolute best film I watched this year is PATHS OF GLORY. This one blew me away. It's such a brutal, angry film, yet wonderfully cynical and darkly funny. Kirk Douglas' performance is astonishing; he's quietly furious the entire film, but with a twinkle in his eye. Movies don't get much better than this. Can't believe this came out in 1957.
Why would anybody watch a scum show like Videodrome? Why did you watch it, Max?

The Ape: A 1940 Monogram flick starring Boris Karloff, which I learned I saw the last few minutes of on Turner Classic Movies when I was like eleven. It's fine, with Karloff, as always, giving his absolute best with less than great material, and it's only 62 minutes, so you're not going to waste much time with it, but it's not quite as entertaining as some of the Monogram movies that Bela Lugosi made around that time. Also, the print on this Blu-Ray was pretty scratched up and washed out.

The Black Raven: Another Poverty Row flick, this time from PRC and starring George Zucco as the manager of a motel where a large band of characters gather together on a stormy night. It's the typical sort of mystery scenario where someone is murdered and everyone is a suspect for various reasons, though some are more than others. Nothing great but it kept my attention, and it's only an hour long. Also, it has Glenn Strange, who played the Frankenstein monster in the last three Universal movies, in a speaking role, which was interesting to see.
