Budo, The Art Of Killing (79)
An Artful
documentary. This movie should demonstrate that all documentaries don't
have to be stuffy cinema-verite stuff. Very informative for anyone interested
in Japanese material arts, the various arts are profiled with artistry
of a Kurosawa film. Particulary interesting is the entry on Aikido,
an art seldom glimpsed in the States except by the initiated. I have
been trying to acquire this movie ever since I saw it in my Aikido class
nearly 15 years ago.

Brutes And Ravages (78)
Stupid
travelogue documentary with loads of real life animal killings. This
is supposedly Arthur Davis' documented footage of his daring travels
around the globe filming rare and bizarre rituals, which usually involve
the killing of live animals.
Arthur
Davis' is seen as a prat with a moustache. This so fake you won't believe
it - apparently Arthur Davis' is told by some Indian tribe he is not
allowed to film a turtle wedding, but they crept along anyway to film
it, knowing they were putting their lives in danger.
If that
were so, then how come we get to see big close-ups of the giant turtle
having it's throat cut and the married couple having sex in their hut
after? The sex scene itself is so laughable - the couple are really
embarrassed and keep laughing at the camera. I felt my cheeks burn with
shame as I watched it.
The turtle
wedding is fake for sure, and so too is a scene when native boys cross
a river and one is eaten by a crocodile. Remember a similar scene in
Faces of Death - well, after seeing this films version of events you
may well be inclined to believe the F.O.D. sequence is in fact reall!!!
An early
scene shows a lama being sacrificed - it's still pumping heart is torn
form its chest and it's head is cut off.
This
film really is a fiasco and, if I'm thinking of the right film (I may
be getting this bit confused with the infinately superior Naked and
Cruel) ther is a nasty bit where a leopard is eaten alive by alligators...
it has obviously been thrown in to the water by the makers who claim
"it got lost and fell in to the water" (they just happened
to stumble upon it, right?).
Obviously
not a film for animal rights activists, this is for the most part shamefully
poor, but I did laugh at ht crocodile scene and ther is some nice scenery.
I gave it 4, but I think I may be being kind... I have seen worse

The Cat And The Canary (79)
When
an eldery man dies, some of his relatives gather to hear the reading

known how much he despised and loathed his worthless kin. As a result,
his will structured in such a way as to set up a dogfight between his
potential heirs as to who will collect his fortune. A remake of the
1939 Bob Hope classic, but with the comedic elements removed and the
suspense heightened.
