Just received this excellent edition of John Carpenter's Assault On Precinct 13 :
It's a German import 3 disc edition. Blu-ray / dvd combo plus a third disc containing the 2003 documentary Do You Remember Laurie Zimmer ?, about the real-life disappearance of actress Laurie Zimmer, star of Assault On Precinct 13.
Pretty happy with this one ! Posts: 2176 | From: The Netherlands | Registered: Jun 2011 | Site Updates: 0

"Assault on Precinct 13" is probably my favorite John Carpenter film. It's small in scope but brilliantly vivid in atmosphere, technique, and suspense. And what's not to like about characters, who--for me at least--go well beyond the usual genre stereotypes? I have the old-school, big-platter laser disc with Carpenter's excellent commentary, but it doesn't have the documentary on Laurie Zimmer, who dropped out of acting to become a teacher, I think. Pity. She's really good in this film, one of only a handful that she did.

My fave Carpenter film too, just wonderful with the greatest kid death LOL
Just watched A Candle For The Devil. It was pretty entertaining film about 2 sisters who hack and slash any female guest in their hotel that they deem immoral.

Around the same time when Roger Corman produced Fighting Mad and Moving Violation, his brother Gene Corman produced this suspiciously similar, old-fashioned, Americana actioner.
Jan-Michael Vincent and Kris Kristofferson star. Supporting roles come from Bernadette Peters, Victoria Principal, David Doyle (Charlie's Angels) and Paul Gleason.
Writer / director George Armitage would go on to make Miami Blues (1990) and Grosse Point Blank (1997).
Credited as 'producer's assistant' is Barbara Peeters, who would go on to direct Humanoids From The Deep for Roger Corman.
it was a good one, i like jimmy stewart, always plays likeable characters, but in this one i think he was a stubborn pain in the neck

Twins of Evil, Countess Dracula, Raw Meat (a/k/a Deathline), and Psychomania (a/k/a The Death Wheelers) at the Super Monsterama at the Riverside Drive-In, Vandergrift, Pennsylvania. (I'll try to find the ad and post it.) All films are favorites, and they were shown in beautiful, uncut prints. Raw Meat, a lost gem, is my absolute favorite, and it, along with Psychomania, deserves to be shown at a drive-in in the wee hours of the morning. It's just so much more effective that way.

Confessions of a....Driving Instructor, Pop Performer, Window Cleaner and From A Holiday Camp. Robin Askwith stars of Timmy Lea, who has a fair few "encounters" with suburban housewives in 1970's London. Fair amount of nudity with a splattering of British comedy guest stars.

Good, old-fashioned, raunchy but harmless fun. I think Holiday Camp is my favorite of the bunch.

Logan's Run. Fell asleep after half an hour. If it weren't for Jenny Agutter it would have been half that.

She is/was super super sexy. I think I am in love. She looked better in AWIL than this though even if she was 5 years older. I will check out those flicks but purely for the skin Posts: 2586 | From: Defrauding the company from abroad | Registered: Jan 2010 | Site Updates: 24
