'THX-1138' Review

'THX-1138' is the third film in the Blind Spot Series with TheMatinee.Ca. You can see my Blind Spot movies list in the right hand side bar. Blind Spots are films that I've never seen before and are posted on the last Tuesday of the month. The first film on my list was 'Quest for Fire,' the second blind spot was 'Attack of the 50'-Foot Woman.' I accidentally skipped 'Fahrenheit 451' (1966). So 'Fahrenheit 451' is now on my list for April!

and DONALD PLEASANCE

I always enjoy watching science fiction movies from the 1960s and 1970s, not just because of the apparent visual differences, but also because of the social commentary. This may be debatable, but it seems like filmmakers in the 1970s were in some ways braver with regard to artistic expression. I'm sure there are exceptions, but somehow I doubt films like 'Alien,' 'The Exorcist,' 'Jaws,' 'THX-1138,' or on a lighter note, 'The Rocky Horror Picture Show,' would have been made had they not been made in the 1970s.

'Quest for Fire' Review

This is the first movie in the Blind Spot Series sponsored by TheMatinee.ca. There is still time to join so please see his website for details. For the remainder of the year, I will be highlighting a movie that I have never seen before, thus a "blind spot." You can see my Blind Spot list in my right hand sidebar. 'Quest for Fire' is the first movie on my list. I guess I find it fitting to start with a movie about prehistory. I missed the last Tuesday in January, so I'm playing catch up. I'm posting this on the first Tuesday in February. My next post will be on the last Tuesday in February ('Attack of the 50 ft. Woman' in honor of Valentine's Day of course).

QUEST FOR FIRE

Directed by JEAN-JACQUES ANNAUD

Starring EVERETT MCGILL, RON PEARLMAN, and RAE DAWN CHONG

Written by GERARD BRACH

Based on the novel by J.H. ROSNEY SR.
