Peter Kuran’s legendary and award-winning 1995 documentary Trinity and Beyond is easy to at first dismiss as explosion porn. Nothing could be further from the truth. He discusses the engineering issues with key physicists from Los Alamos, resurrects illuminating television and military documentary footage to punctuate the nuclear zeitgeist, and features in-depth chronologies of nuclear test operations using recently-declassified, digitally-restored footage. All this narrated in a tomb-like whisper by the great William Shatner and set to a haunting score provided by (the appropriately ironic) Moscow Symphony Orchestra. You’ve never had a better seat to the greatest expose on mankind perfecting its own annihilation than this keeper of a film.

The post Peter Kuran – Trinity and Beyond: The Atomic Bomb Movie (1995) (HD) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

True story recounting the crash of Eastern Airlines flight 401, which crashed in the Everglades while on approach to Miami in December 1972. Accurate in many respects, the movie goes through the events leading up to the crash, the crash itself, and the rescue effort afterwards

Flight 401 went down in the Florida Everglades around Christmas of 1972. This movie simply tells that story. In some instances, such as with Sharon Gless and Adrienne Barbeau, who were based on the actual stewardesses, the film works, but in other instances, like George Maharis’ bickering romance, it says cliche’. Christopher Connelly and Ron Glass were also based on actual persons. The movie shows incredible events that occurred, such as the two men in the swamp boat who are the first to arrive on the scene and the survival of the baby and the poodle. D.W. Moffat is the first rescuer to appear and hears the survivors singing Christmas carols. Lorraine Gary and Ed Nelson’s story, whether or not it is true, I couldn’t say, but I doubt it, nontheless is interesting to watch. Eddie Albert and Lane Smith are a bit on the wasted side as far as being the pilots goes. William Shatner adds his Rescue 911 dialogue in a final summary. The movie concludes one of the pilots bumped the wheel and knocked out the automatic pilot, but the myth about the crash is that the flight crew became too absorbed in why the warning light that the landing gear wasn’t down was still lit up, until they looked and saw the ground in front of them. Again, according to the movie, the gear was down, the fault was in the lightbulb.

The post John Korty – Go Ask Alice (1973) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

Demons in the form of lovely young women lead dishonorable men to their deaths. One particularly beautiful demon meets and falls in love with an honorable young soldier (William Shatner). Her older sister (also a demon) is outraged and conjures (in a stirring scene) their fierce brother, who brutalizes Shatner’s sister. A haunting, breathtakingly photographed tale of good and evil, love and revenge, INCUBUS also has the odd distinction of being filmed entirely in Esperanto, the language created in 1887 to facilitate easy communication between people of different cultures.

The post Leslie Stevens – Incubus (1966) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

Shy, introverted eager-beaver young school teacher Melodye Amerson (sweetly played by the adorable Kim Darby of Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark fame) takes a job at a remote, quiet rural farming community that’s isolated from the rest of the world. The job proves to be far more difficult and challenging than she initially figured: the students are extremely terse, reserved and uncommunicative, the other townspeople are every bit as reticent, mysterious and unapproachable, and everyone lives by a strict code which leaves Melodye feeling confused and alienated.

Melodye remains determined and persistent, making a slow but steady attempt at getting the students and other townspeople to open up so they can let her in on their incredible secret.

Directed with exceptional restraint, acuity and tenderness by John Korty (who later helmed The Ewok Adventure), sensitively scripted by James M. Miller from Zenna Henderson’s thoughtful, low-key, utterly beguiling novel, deftly acted by a top-rate cast which includes Dan O’Herlihy as a sage town elder, Laurie Walters as O’Herlihy’s fetching but repressed daughter, Diane Varsi as the token accessible kindly local who gives Melodye guidance and advice, and an uncharacteristically subdued William Shatner as a friendly “outsider” physician, this gentle, folksy, leisurely paced Francis Ford Coppola science-fiction TV movie parable works as a lovely, reflective, and oftentimes charming exploration of overcoming fear, how tightly held to superstitious beliefs can be very constricting, opening up to allow nice, well-meaning others to have a positive, eye-opening influence on your life, and a particularly moving sincere plea for accepting and understanding those individuals whose uniqueness defies rigidly set and highly restrictive preconceived notions of so-called “normality.” A beautifully lulling and poignant little gem. – Joe Wawrzyniak, IMDB user

Produced by American Zoetrope between THX 1138 and The Conversation, this was apparently a failed pilot, and it certainly feels like one with its very abrupt ending. Is it entertaining? Marginally. I most enjoyed the lurid colors and the kids’ drawings. Shatner fans will be disappointed by his minimal screentime, none of which features him drunk on brandied peaches.
