Genre: Foreign / Western
aka: The Violent Breed
Director: Enzo G. Castellari
Cast: Franco Nero, Woody Strode, William Berger, Donald O'Brien, Olga Karlatos, Giovanni Cianfriglia, Orso Maria Guerrini, Gabriella Giacobbe, Antonio Marsina, Joshua Sinclair, Victoria Zinny, Lee Lenoir
Keoma (Franco Nero) returns home from the Civil War hoping for some rest and relaxation, but his plans must be put on hold when a ruthless gang leader threatens the peace-loving people of the community. To make matters worse, his three half-brothers, who have always resented half-breed Keoma, are aligned with the gang leader. A violent film, but a cut above the normal spaghetti Western–and one of the last of the genre.

| | I don't like Musicals | Anonymous 04/02/2007 | | But this has me coming back when I feel low. Has comedy, drama, great music and Prince can act although Morris Day steals the show. One of my top feelgood movies. Next up ...Airplane! |

The Scarlet and the Black 1983  TV, 145 min.
Genre: Drama
Director: Jerry London
Cast: Gregory Peck, Christopher Plummer, John Gielgud, Raf Vallone, Kenneth Colley, Walter Gotell, Barbara Bouchet, Julian Holloway, Angelo Infanti, Olga Karlatos
In World War II Rome, Catholic priest Monsignor O'Flaherty (Gregory Peck) hides POWs and airmen who are shot down. He has been so successful that the Nazis assign Col. Kappler to stop him. The cat and mouse game is on as O'Flaherty uses all means to keep from being caught while still continuing his work. A good made-for-TV effort that is based on a true story. 1 User Review

Zombie 1979  N/R, 91 min.
Genre: Foreign / Horror
aka: Zombie 2
Zombie Flesh Eaters
Island of the Living Dead
Director: Lucio Fulci
Cast: Tisa Farrow, Ian McCulloch, Richard Johnson, Al Cliver, Aurella Gay, Stefania D'Amario, Olga Karlatos
I know, this is actually a Bomb, but in deference to Lucio Fulci cultists there must be some redeeming aspect of this entry in Fulci's Parade of Horrors. As zombies (that arrived by ship) are terrorizing NYC, a woman and her friends search for her father in the Caribbean. On an island they find a crazy scientist and flesh-hungry zombies all over the place. Slow and cheap. 1 User Review
