545	L'uomo della strada fa Giustizia		Umberto Lenzi	Poliziesco	1975	Italia		RaiMovie	DVD±R	Lenzi torna a Milano con una pellicola che mostra una città ambigua e violenta. Benché ci sia più di un richiamo a _Il giustiziere della notte_ di Winner, il film se ne discosta in quanto atto d'accusa della giustizia privata. Finale amaro che allontana le derive qualunquiste della trama. Bella la colonna sonora di Nicolai e bravo Silva nel ruolo del vendicatore pensato per Cassinelli.	View
546	L'uomo invisibile	Invisible Man	James Whale	Fantascienza	1933	USA	71	Universal	DVD	Cofanetto Monster Legacy Collection. Tratto dal celebre racconto di H.G.Wells e confezionato con la solita maestria da Whale, che non manca di sottolineare il suo gusto per l'ironia e la leggerezza di scrittura. Il regista voleva Karloff nel ruolo principale, ma la Universal gli impose Rains. Sequel e remake (anche apocrifi) come se piovesse...	View

549	L'uomo senza memoria		Duccio Tessari	thriller/giallo	1974	Italia	90	Shendene/Nocturno	VHS orig	Le ingenuità narrative vengono sfruttate per architettare una sorta di "teoria del vuoto".	View

551	La banda del Gobbo		Umberto Lenzi	Poliziesco	1977	Italia	98	Federal Video	DVD	Poliziesco all'italiana senz'anima e con molte sparatorie e inseguimenti (degne del genere). Milian si sdoppia e rifà Monnezza ma, a parte il linguaggio sempre trucido, il fim è prigioniero dei suoi cliché.	View
552	La banda del Trucido		Stelvio Massi	Poliziesco	1977	Italia	99	Shendene/Nocturno	VHS orig	Tomas Milian ha solo una particina: in compenso abbiamo in primo piano la faccia di plastica di Luc Merenda. Anche la trama è di plastica: potete tirarla come volete, ma resta identica a tutte le altre del genere. Un genere per fortuna ormai estinto.	View

554	La belva		Mario Costa	Western	1971	Italia	89	Hobby & Work Pub.	DVD	Uno spaghetti western di mediocre fattura e prevedibile. Grande comunque Klaus Kinski.	View

556	La bestia uccide a sangue freddo		Fernando Di Leo	Horror	1971	Italia	86	Shendene/Nocturno	VHS orig	Abitato dalla presenza perturbante e magnetica di Kinski, il film è un thriller a tinte erotiche che procede a ritmo basso sui binari paralleli del collasso della clinica e della mente del protagonista. Non il miglior Di Leo.	View

558	La casa	Evil Dead	Sam Raimi	Horror	1981	USA	85	Multivision	VHS orig	Sam Raimi proved to the world that he could not only direct a movie but that he could create a product that was not only original but that could scare the hell out of you. Since the 1981 release, Bruce Campbell has found work on many film projects due to his break out performance in the Evil Dead. Raimi, has gone on to direct many films. Both have earned much of their career based on this little horror movie, that has been re-produced / recycled by thousands of "wanna-be" film makers world wide. This is not your typical "zombie" film, let alone your garden variety horror movie as well. The Evil Dead is one of those black comedies / horror movies that overwhelms the audience to either be scared out of their wits or won over by the movie's story and over the top characters. The Evil Dead is what most, if not all horror movies should be, very real and powerful.	View
559	La casa 2	Evil Dead 2	Sam Raimi	horror	1987	USA	84	Momentum Pictures	DVD	Sequel or remake? There has always been a huge debate whether Evil Dead II is a sequel or a remake, since the second film contradicts the story that occurred in Evil Dead. Such as, the ending of Evil Dead ends with Ash being chased down by the evil spirit which deceased the other characters. However, after the paraphrase of events at the start of Evil Dead II, which only features Ash and Linda and Ash is once again hit by the same evil spirit. That's where the story begins in the second film.So, the book was destroyed in The Evil Dead, whereas it appears again in Evil Dead II. This certainly isn't a huge factor. Actually, if one can recall James Whale's 1935 masterpiece sequel entitled Bride of Frankenstein. There is no question that director Sam Raimi used the Whale masterpiece as the blueprint for his sequel. In Bride of Frankenstein, the film starts with a prologue that recaps the events of the first film, however, completely contradicting the entire ending of the film which is where the sequel starts. I understand that Raimi was going through legal issues, so he was forced in this position to contradict the first film, but he certainly used the way that made Bride of Frankenstein the classic in remains. Not to mention, in Frankenstein, it is a straightforward horror film, whereas in the sequel it is a macabre, satirical film that uses the blend of horror and black comedy at it's finest. No doubt Raimi's Evil Dead II uses the same concept.So is Evil Dead II a sequel or a remake? It is undoubtedly a sequel! A fairly good one as well, that in many ways surpasses it's original prototype. It's certainly not one of the most visually inventive, relentless, and truly original films ever made as some claim it to be, it's not even one of the top films of it's very own genre. However, it remains one of the best full-on gore slapstick's ever seen. The script is witty, and well written (mostly on the part of Scott Spiegel). It's no secret that one of films main inspirations was The Three Stooges, along with many other slapstick comedy's. Though it's director Raimi's unbelievable POV shots, weird lighting, stop motion animation, moving hand held camera, etc. that makes the film work.That being said, Evil Dead II just isn't a grade-A horror film, it isn't on the level of the classics such as, Peeping Tom, Freaks, Nosferatu, Vampyr, The Phantom of the Opera (silent), The Man Who Laughs, etc. It does not have much of a plot. It has very little acting, little continuity, and no logic. Evil Dead II is a classic cult horror film in every sense of the word. You simply have to come along and experience it for yourself.	View
