The Devil's Muse (2007)
Best of the Black Dahlia films
Not to be confused with Ulli Lommel's unwatchable mess or the incomprehensible De Palma film, this is a decently shot and produced meditation on the price of fame and fortune in Lotus Land. The film uses the Black Dahlia as a springboard for a series of vignettes and haunted images of Hollywood's past. The cinematography is excellent and the cast is up for the challenge. You do not learn about the Black Dahlia crime from this film. The viewer is thrust into the shoes of a number of actresses searching for success with the Black Dahlia character as a backdrop. This stream of ideas is not for all tastes, but if you are in the mood, you will find this film rewarding.
Sûpâ robotto Mahha Baron (1974)
Just as berserk as Inframan
I picked this up at Best Buy. I had never heard of this series. If you are terminally depressed, dying or suicidal, buy this show, throw it in the DVD player, sit back and laugh your head off. Your worries will disappear. In the first episode, at a World's Robot Fair, about 200 giant robots are stolen by this mad genius who laughs a lot and sits in front of a fish tank. Good thing they did not get THE SUPER ROBOT RED BARON! Every episode features a new giant robot costume, and at the end of the quickly paced episode, the bad robot EXPLODES into a billion pieces of junk. In fact, this show has more explosions than Rambo 1-4. Then there is the Secret Science Investigation. They look like a cross between the Beatles' Sergent Peppers and Mod Squad. They are always ripping the heads off evil karate chopping robots. Then there's the wacky Inspector sidekick from a Pink Panther movie! Frequently villains are shot to pieces in slow motion like a Peckinpah film. Best kids show since Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons. Why don't they make stuff like this anymore?
