Albin Grau- Nosferatu- F.W. Murnau- Fritz Arno Wagner Written by Joe D on September 11th, 2021 Everyone equates Nosferatu with F.W. Murnau, one of the all time great directors, and they should. He brought the film to life in such a powerful way that it still lives today. 90% of films made back then are either gone or forgotten, probably more. But let s give credit where it s due, Albin Grau ,who produced the film through his short lived company Prana Films also thought up the concept and designed the film. Here are some amazing images he created. Albin Grau F.W.MurnauPretty Damn Cool! You can see he was a huge part ofthe stylization,imagecreation,atmosphere,everything.Murnau ,being the supreme film artist that he was, created the celluloid realizations of these images, plus he shot on location which gave the film more reality, making it scarier.Bram Stoker s widow sued and won a copyright infringement lawsuit, she tried to have every copy of the film destroyed. And she almost succeded! Luckily for us a few prints and a negative escaped destruction. But Prana films was kaput! Albin Grau was forced to declare bankruptcy even though the film was a hit. The curse of Nosferatu continued with the tragic early death of Murnau in a car crash in California on the deadly Pacific Coast Highway. Years later his skull was stolen from his grave, presumably by some Satanists. Berg moved to Switzerland and worked as a graphic artist. Here s a trailer from the restored version, so you can appreciate the beauty of Fritz Arno Wagner s cinematography. Dreams That Money Can Buy Featuring Stanley Kubrick Written by Joe D on September 6th, 2021 Hans RichterKubrick a few years after appearing in Richters Film.Dreams that Money Can Buy is a 1947 film by Hans Richter. I just found out that a young Stanley Kubrick appears in iyt. This was before Kubrick made any films himself. He was working as a photographer for LOOK magazine and taking night classes at a school in NYC. Richter was teaching there, he need extras for his latest production and Kubrick voluntered. I think it s very cool that future director Kubrick appeared in an exprimental film. To help out a filmmaker! Check it out. Kolchak The Night Stalker Written by Joe D on September 1st, 2021 I just happened upon this on YouTube last night. One of the best TV Movies ever made! Super influential! X-Files Creator Christopher Carter sites it as a major influence. Written by Genius Richard Mathesson, he wrote the book Psycho was adapted from, The Incredible Shrinking Man, Trilogy of Terror, many TYwilight Zones, The Last Man On Earth, which has been adapted many times. The list goes on and on. A big part of why this movie is so good, Plus a great cast, Darren McGaven, Carole Lynley, Ralph Meeker, Charles McGraw, Simon Oakland, Claude Akins and Elisha Cook Jr. Some icons of Classic Film Noir. And an incredible score, kind of Dirty Harryesque, really cool. And I must say some really terrific stunt work! Makes it all seem belivable.  Many Years ago I took a Cinematography class at the Hollywood Film School, kind of a low budget AFI on Hollywood Blvd. It was taught by Michel Hugo, the guy who shot tyhis masterpiece. A very nice Frenchman and an excellent cameraman. Anyway check it out, a real blast from the past. ANDY WARHOL S OUTER AND INNER SPACE starring EDIE SEDGEWICK Written by Joe D on August 27th, 2021 Andy Warhol was givren an early video recorder made by Norelco and he shot a lot of video with it.  Yu can t watch any of it now because there are no Norelco video decks left! The curse of Rapidly Evolving Technology. He played the video in the background on a monitor and filmed SuperStar Edie in front of the monitor with a 16mm sound on film Auricon Camera. Then he distorted the video intentionally as it plkayed back, this was before Nam Jun Paik got his first video recorder. He was ahead of his time in his own weird way. Check it out .But First see her Screen Test! The Sword and The Dragon Written by Joe D on August 24th, 2021 Alexander Ptushko Russian AuteurRussian Folk Hero- Ilya MurametsHere is the entire movie! The magnificient Sword and The Dragon. Directed by the great Russian Fantasy Directr Alexander Ptushko! What a genius!  It s in Russian with Spanish subtitles but it s also in Cinemascope! The first Soviet film made with that process, also 4-track magnetic sound! It was bought by Roger Corman and released in the US in the early 60 s.  I loved this film as a kid so Enjoy! The Crimson Pirate, Robert Siodmak, Burt Lancaster, Robert Aldritch Written by Joe D on August 17th, 2021 Robert Siodmak Vs. Burt LancasterVs. Robert AldritchHere is a movie that I loved as a kid. Swashbuckling Adventure, Gymnastics, Crazy Inventions! So many cool elements that appeal to a young mind. It was directed by the great Robert  Siodmak and starred Burt Lancaster, who also produced. I guess Burt could be difficult to deal with. Siodmak discovered Burt, putting him in his first film, The Killers, based on a story by Ernest papa Hemingway, the only film adaptations of his works that Hemingway liked. Anyway Burt and Siodmak clashed and Siodmak left before the film ws completed, I think the shooting was pretty much done, but Burt wanted control. Burt was in another film (Also Great) Ulzana s Raid, directed by Robert Aldritch, Burt insisted on creating his own cut of the film, which he did, so now there are two cuts of that film circulating out there. Burt s cut was for the European market supposedly, but I saw it at the New Beverly Theater. I din t know there were two cuts at the time, when I watched it on VHS, i could tell it was a different version, I researched it and found out about the different versions. Anyway Burt had his own production company and wanted to run the show. Oh well. He should have directed the films himself. Anyway here s the trailer for The Crimson Pirate. You can watch the whole movie on Youtube but you have to pay.s Jessica Beshir s Hairat Written by Joe D on July 26th, 2021 Jessica Beshir grew up in the city of Harar, Ethiopia. She became a filmmaker and wanted to show the semi mythical relationship between Yussuf Mume Saleh and the hyenas he fed outside the walls of the ancient city. On her way to film him she met a young poet, Elias Shagiz Adonay Tesfaye and his poetry was incorporated into the film. This is pure magic and proves once again that Black and White is beautiful. Les Filles de Illighadad Written by Joe D on July 21st, 2021 Fatou Seidi Ghali, one of the only Tuareg female guitarists in Niger, leads Les Filles de Illighadad during a Homegrown Concert Series performance, September 19, 2019.

Music can transport you to another dimension,they show you how. Chang Cheh s Kid With The Golden Arm vs Rza s Man with The Iron Fists and Tarantino s Kill Bill Written by Joe D on June 28th, 2021 Here s another gem you can watch on Amazon Prime. Chang Cheh s Kid With The Golden Arm. It s very entertaining, a lot of fun with great fight choreography. You can see what an influence this film had on Quentin Tarantino (Kill Bill) and The RZA (Man with the Iron Fists) . I should know I worked on both those films. Chang Cheh reunites his cast from the 5 Venoms another hugh hit! The story does have parallels with MWTIF, a shipment of Gold sent to help a province afflicted by a Famine, Off beat Government agents secretly helpiong to protect the Gold, Poison used as a weapon. The list goes on. Buit watch them all and decide for yourself!And here s a link to The Kill Bill Bootleg Trailer I edited with Quentin.
