Create Your Own

This is the most recent movie version of H.G. Wells' novel "The Island of Doctor Moreau". Marlon Brando stars as a misguided scientist trying to create the perfect human by experimenting with human and animal DNA. Despite some genuinely suspenseful moments, the script is severely flawed. The characters stumble clumsily through personality transformations and Dr. Moreau’s portrayal is inadvertently comedic. It isn't Brando's acting that is the problem, it's the flamboyant costumes he’s adorned in and the presence of a tiny, identically dressed creature that comes off like 'mini-me' from Austin Powers. The bad computer effects don’t help matters either; but, Stan Winston’s nice makeup work is fun to watch.

I must say that I expected quite a bit more from this collaboration between screenwriter Nigel Kneale and director George Pal. The Abominable Snowman is nothing more than a long, boring build up with no payoff. Without the respectable acting from Peter Cushing and Forrest Tucker and the fine cinemetography, there would be nothing worthwhile about this film. The DVD is wonderful quality with its sharp restored picture and cool added features but the film itself is one of the weaker efforts of the fifties.

Demolition Man is one of the rare tongue in cheek sci-fi action movies that actually works well. Sylvester Stallone and Wesley Snipes star as an ex-cop and a criminal who are cryogenically frozen and awakened in a sterile future where all violence has been eliminated. It’s a funny film that’s just as much comedy as it action. Stallone gets a chance to crack a few jokes about a sci-fi world of the future. The action, which plays well at times, drags on at the end; but on the whole, it’s a fun action flick
