Here are my latest articles:
HALF HUMAN: THE STORY OF THE ABOMINABLE SNOWMAN [1955] Ishiro Honda / Kenneth Crane"Foreign rights to ABOMINABLE SNOWMAN reverted back to Toho a few years back, and a statement from the studio at that time indicated that it had no intention of selling them again. The film was the first of the studio's to fall at the hands of lobbying organizations, due to its unsettling depiction of indigenous Japanese peoples."
THE LOST MISSILE [1958] William Berke"The last film to be made by writer / producer / director William Berke is a real doozy, a barely lucid Cold War pontification on the importance of scientific research, military might, and civil defense."
THE FLESH EATERS [1964] Jack Curtis"The story by comic book author Arnold Drake is pure pulpy B-movie goodness that reminds of Roger Corman's a-thrill-a-minute model. His taut script works very well, moving the frequent action along at a swift tempo and keeping the dialogue between the creature moments lively."
BLACK LINE [1960] Teruo Ishii"Ishii's transposition of western film noir sensibilities onto his own familiar surroundings seems effortless, and he uses them well to showcase the seedier sides of post-occupation Japan."
Thanks for reading!
