My Thoughts:
I finally got around to watch this one after having it in my unwatched pile forever. And i actually enjoyed it somewhat. For me the movie could be a real classic if the story wasnt all over the place. And the movie seemed a bit rushed some places. But other than that, the movie had some great moments, some big names. Some good acting. All in all, a decent thriller. Not great, but not the worst i've seen either. Guess i maby expected just a bit more.

My Thoughts:
After receiving the BD version sat down to watch.  A movie that I have always enjoyed and last watched on DVD.  Connery and Baldwin played their roles extremely well.  There are many things missing from the book, as there is in any transfer to the big screen, but the movie itself was well done.

The BD transfer was excellent.

My Thoughts:

Think a spoof of a throwback sixties spy movie.  Throw out the political correctness, add more fights, graphic violence, sharp suits and neat toys. 

If you are looking for a serious movie, this is not for you..

A very enjoyable movie...  Sat down not sure what I was going to view.  I was entertained all the way through..

My Thoughts:
This is a TV movie that originally aired on ShowtimeI haven't seen this one since it originally aired over 20 years ago. Going into this one all I really really remembered is I enjoyed it quite a bit. While I didn't enjoy it quite as much as I remembered... I still enjoyed it quite a bit and glad I finally have it in my collection. The first of the stories is by far my favorite. The other two... while not as good... are still rather enjoyable.This film is worth the hour and a half you need to put in to watch it. But it is not the best anthology horror I have seen.

Plot:
Although the plot of The Twelve Chairs is wild enough to have been created by Mel Brooks, it's actually based on a Russian story written by two Soviet journalists, Ilya Ilf and Yevgeni Petrov, in the 1920s. Set in Russia in 1927, this much-loved, hilarious Mel Brooks comedy classic is the tale of a former aristocrat (Ron Moody) who is now a Russian clerk under the new Soviet regime. When he learns that his dying mother-in-law sewed a fortune of family jewels into one of the twelve dining room chairs, he sets off across Russia to find it – with an opportunist (Frank Langella), a priest (Dom DeLuise) and his former servant (Mel Brooks) all in equal pursuit.

My Thoughts:
while not a terrible movie... this one leaves quite a bit to be desired. I actually found myself having trouble focusing on the film. And just did not find much here funny. In my honest opinion, the idea for this one was much better then the outcome. Don't worry too much about missing this one.

Title: Salem's Lot

Year: 1979
Director: Tobe Hooper
Writer: Stephen King (1947) (Original Material By), Paul Monash (Screenwriter)

Stars:
David Soul as Ben Mears
James Mason (1909) as Richard K. Straker
Lance Kerwin as Mark Petrie

Plot:
With Salem’s Lot, a blood-curdling shocker based on the novel by Stephen King, director Tobe Hooper (Poltergeist) sends the time-honored vampire legend soaring on bat wings into the modern era.

Sinister events bring together a writer (David Soul) fascinated with an old hilltop house, a suave antiques dealer (James Mason) whose expertise goes beyond bric-a-brac and the dealer’s mysterious, pale-skinned "partner" (Reggie Nalder). The solid supporting cast of vampire victims and fighters includes Bonnie Bedelia, Lew Ayres, Elisha Cook, Ed Flanders, George Dzundza, Lance Kerwin, Geoffrey Lewis and Marie Windsor. It’s hard to keep the undead down. And so easy to be scared in Salem’s Lot.

My Thoughts:
I have loved this one since the first time I saw it back in my teen years. Of course this is an adaptation from the book that Stephen King wrote. Who of course is my favorite horror writer. For a movie that is just over 30 years old... this movie has some decent scares in it. I personally haven't been scared from it since I was a kid... but I do remember it would scare my wife every time we watched it. A couple of my favorite spooky parts in this movie is ..

1. The kid vampire scratching at his friends window.... pleading with him to let him in.
2. The grave digger rocking in the rocking chair... looks over at you and hisses at you with his eyes glowing

I am really enjoying watching this one again. As for comparing this one to the remake... that is something I don't normally like to do... but sometimes it is just too hard not to. I really like both versions... like them both a lot! but I think I have to say I enjoy this one the most between the 2. I don't know why... but to me this one is a pure classic when it comes to vampire movies... it is one of the ones to beat!

Needless to say... this is one I would always highly recommend to any horror fan... and an absolute must see for any fan of vampire movies. Now... please lets see a dvd release of Return to Salem's Lot! It has been so long since I seen the sequel I can't remember anything other then it's existence.
