Dr. Phibes Rises Again...
Between working on putting together a new swing set for the kiddos and holding down the fort with them while the missus worked all day Saturday, I managed to get to Ed McKay's used books and pick up Batman Begins and Dr. Phibes Rises Again.
I watched the latter last night with my lovely wife. It was as chock full of camp, weirdness, novel offing of characters, and organ music as I remember. Well worth the cash I plunked down for it. I think the thing I love most about it was Inspector Trout. Watching him and his boss track Phibes as people died around them was a hoot (in a really weird way).
If you want a look at a homicidal maniac that could teach Freddy a thing or two go rent this. Heck, buy it. The Midnite Movies release of it is as barebones as can be, but the transfer is clean and it's dirt cheap. ¶

when they re-issue this DVD with a deluxe new package, i hope they'll include this fine summary:
"as chock full of camp, weirdness, novel offing of characters, and organ music as I remember!"

The day I get a pull quote on anything is the day I shall dance naked on the streets.
Why do I feel that I will regret having made that statemetn?
