St. Helens (1981)

Censored

[1/10 · 13 January 2023]

The first time I saw this movie I had rented the VHS cassette. The next time I rented it it was no longer the same movie. It had been obviously edited. Over the years I've purchased many copies, but have never found the original un-edited version. The music at the beginning is garbled and words spoken during the movie are not the same as the original. I'm sure there are reason's the movie was censored, but it is a great disappointment having seen the movie once in its original form. I have tried over gthe years to find a copy of the original version but have been unsuccessful. If anyone know how I can obtain the original please contact me.

Snowden (2016)

Authentic

[7/10 · 4 November 2020]

I assume that when watching a movie about an actual event that what I am seeing is an historical novel. I am sure that the movie portrayed the overall picture. I enjoyed the movie. I thought it was well done. My only criticism is Snowden's basic training scenes. As a veteran I will say that in the US Army, an NCO is never addressed as "sir". I learned that rule on day one.

Thriller (1960–1962)

Grim Reaper In The Mirror- A Thriller?

[26 May 2009]

I recall an episode about a mirror in an upper room of possibly a museum or antique store. People who went into that room never returned. A man and his wife went into the room to check out the mirror. The man noticed a spot in the upper left corner. The longer he watched the spot, the larger it grew. His wife wanted to leave the room, but the man just had to have another look. As he looked, the spot grew larger and took the form of the grim reaper. By the time he realized what he was seeing, it was too late. It took him and he was gone.

I don't know if this was an episode of Thriller- does anybody remember it? Email me at [e-mail]
