Title: Labor day marathon Post by: raj on September 03, 2004, 06:34:50 PM Woo hoo, a Planet of the Apes marathon on Sunday, followed up a bit later with:
MONKEY SHINES: AN EXPERIMENT IN FEAR A quadriplegic regains his sense of hope when he is given an experimental, genetically engineered monkey trained to obey his every wish and help him live independently. Unfortunately, it's not long before the animal takes on a murderous mind of its own — and begins to act out his master's repressed rage toward those around him. George A. Romero, who revolutionized movie horror with his classic Night of the Living Dead, directed this suspenseful feature.

At first I saw this and I thought, oh no, ee gads, more of the ape dirge draggin on and on as usual. But then I thought of this made for TV movie (~1972-'73 I guess). I'm not absolutely sure but I think the name of it is "A Cold Night's DEath" Anyways, in an arctic outpost (where monkeys are used as part of experiments) I think there were a series of "accidents" and some reasearchers were sent up there to follow up. I've only seen this movie once and it's worth more than 40 Planet's of Apes hands down. Title: Re: Labor day marathon Post by: James on September 03, 2004, 07:53:00 PM Wow. I just finished doing a search on internet and answered my own question. Yes it was 73 area and it was Robert Culp and Eli Wallach. I shoulda known.
A Cold Night's Death should reside at the top of made for TV movies. James wrote: > The whole point of the improvisation isn't necessarily based so much on harmonic challenges as it is rhythmic challenges. >Larry Coryell |
