Review:
Well now dats what I'm talkin' bout! My man had both the mom and the daughters
poon. This kid should be on Springer! Jokes aside, this was a great film.
It had everything you'd want in a film: a great story, fantastic actors
and a groovy soundtrack. Well you can't have everything.
This movie used some
whacked out angles, which I really love. I think its cuz the time when
the film was made (1967); everyone was doing that shit, like batman. Now
I have to comment on Anne Bancroft. Baby's got some gams. Lets face it;
this movie is the reason why guys love chicks that wear stockings.
The soundtrack to
this movie was done up by Simon and Garfunkel. Those mofos put together
a bunch of creepy tunes for this film. It all works perfectly. The fucked
angles, the spooky sounds of Simon and Garfunkel, and the engaging story.
It all fits together seamlessly. I really like this film, a true classic.
Special Features :
The behind-the-scenes documentary was cool to watch. It was very informative
and well put together. The Interview with Hoffman was all right but it's
just a talking head for 23 minutes. That Dustin Hoffman talks up a storm.
Lots of stuff to learn about the movie and how it was put together.
Video:
The video was extremely clean considering how old the film is. There is
a couple of scratches in the transfer, but trust me nothing that would
ruin the film.
Audio:
It's only stereo surround sound, but hey, it was made in 1967. The speech
comes through clear and clean. But I feel the sound really excels when
the music is playing. It just suits this film so much.
