In the 1960s and 70s I remember severasl Hammer or Amicus horror anthologies:
The House That Dripped Blood
From Beyond the Grave
Dr Terror's House of Horrors

Title: Re: THREE LITTLE WORDS
Post by: ChasSmith on October 24, 2016, 06:18:41 AM: TOD:

It seems like most of the omnibus/anthology films I immediately think of are of the spooky or horror variety, and I've always enjoyed them. Never saw (or even heard of) CAT'S EYE, though.

I do enjoy the original DEAD OF NIGHT, and there was a more modern one of that title that I vaguely recall was kind of good.

The Hammer and Amicus ones are great fun. My first ever was ASYLUM, which I could swear I saw at the Pantages. I've also enjoyed the two CREEPSHOWs.
Title: Re: THREE LITTLE WORDS
Post by: ChasSmith on October 24, 2016, 06:20:20 AM: I'm pretty sure there are others out there that aren't horror, but they just aren't coming to mind.
Title: Re: THREE LITTLE WORDS
Post by: ChasSmith on October 24, 2016, 06:31:50 AM: I cheated. I just asked my friend Mr. Google (no relation to Mr. Flu Shot) about omnibus films, and was immediately reminded of the likes of NEW YORK STORIES, FOUR ROOMS, PARIS JE T'AIME, NIGHT ON EARTH, and COFFEE AND CIGARETTES.

Others, too, but those are ones I know I've seen, and enjoyed to some degree.

Post by: Ron Pulliam on October 24, 2016, 07:46:26 AM: Of all the things on my DVR cache, last night I watched "The Story of Ruth". It was high def and in stereo. The image was 16:9, as I recall. It was also quite noticeable that a lot of it was filmed on a soundstage. Apart from some really risible dialogue in certain scenes, it was extremely well made, well cast and beautifully produced.

Gorgeous, unobtrusive score by Franz Waxman.

Post by: Ron Pulliam on October 24, 2016, 07:50:26 AM: Am I the only H/K enjoying "The Durrells on Corfu"? It's a Masterpiece Theater production (running concurrently with Poldark II and Indian Summers II).

"The Durrells on Corfu" is based on a book by Gerald Durrell who wrote quite a few books, many about animals and his family. He was the younger brother of Lawrence Durrell (noted 20th Century author of "The Alexandria Quartet" and other works).

I'm really loving it. After two episodes, that is.

Larry, on the mailing label, it might show what the expiration date of your subscription is. Look for that and see if it's when you expect it to expire. Working at the library, the magazine clerk many times wants to order two concurrent subscriptions and the magazine people stupidly set it up as one subscription for two years...and vice versa. If you have that information, that might help with getting your issue (no pun intended ;) ) resolved. Just a thought.

The cast was terrific, especially Heidi Blickenstaff and Emma Hunton, who played the mother and daughter. I thought the score was good. It should be a hit with the "Wicked" crowd.

We passed on the complimentary breakfast at our hotel and headed for Tudor's Biscuit World in Fayetteville, WV. We left there via the famous bridge over the New River Gorge, which appears on the back of the West Virginia commemorative quarter. After crossing the bridge, we spent about an hour at the visitor center. There's photo evidence on my Facebook page, if anyone cares to share it here.

We have made plans with friends, thinking I was clever I suggested they pick two restaurants and we would choose between them. We ended up with one choice, yes we can say no to it but that seems rude at this point. It is in a strip mall. It looks clean and nice but rather bare, not a lot of atmosphere. The kicker is, it is an expensive menu that you expect in a fancy restaurant.

I sure hope the food is good.

I wonder how it compares to Mary Rodgers' original version. I also wonder if she even finished hers. I know BK recorded one song from it, but was there a full score?

I'm not coming early in the morning. Even if I could get up early, I don't know how long it will actually take me to finish what I need to finish, so it needs to be finished tonight. At least this means that I'll be able to leave early another day this week. ;)
