Dino,

Nice shots from Jitterbugs.

Dancing Masters is another of my favorites from their post Roach days.

An excellent book about their later films is: Laurel & Hardy from the 40's Forward, by Scott Mac Gillivray.

The book includes information about the re-releases. Look for the 2nd edition, for it has additional information.

Mac Gillivray is an accomplished writer and Sons of the Desert Grand Sheik of the Boston Brats tent.

Decided for a change from horror to watch Bruce kick seven
colours out of the bad guys in "Enter the Dragon" 16mm
letterboxed print.Favourite lines include the repartee from Jim
Kelly playing Williams, when Mr Han asks how he will handle
defeat replies "i won't even notice it!! I'll be too busy looking
good!!" and "Man, you come straight out of a comic book!"
Even now, the well staged fights are still standout and showcase
the skills of the late Bruce Lee.

Osi,and Michael yes Jitterbugs is a good one...

Tonight I started watching the silent serial WOLVES OF KULTUR (1918)starring the one and only Charles Hutchinson..This is not the most well known serial, but it is loaded with action. The only version that exists is a truncated 7 episode version which tends to be a tad harder to follow since they rush through some of the exposition. Episode 1 is called Torture Trap (Bllackhawk 2 x 400ft, Super8)

Austin it is very good but as I mentioned can be a bit tricky to follow....Today was Ep 2 THE IRON CHAIR (Blackhawk 1 x 400ft, Super 8)..In this episode Bob and Alice break free from Zaremba's hideout as the henchman take the electric torpedo to a new hideout..NO small gauge for a few days as I am off to San Francisco for this weekend's annual SF Silent Film Festival.

We ran an optical print on super 8mm of Raise the Titanic (3 x 800') Wonderful Barry score and great mechanical effects, not as bad a film really.

I always thought this an under rated film Mark,It comes across
as a very good adventure.Just in passing,what was the print like
regarding colour and was it letterbox or full frame? Reason I'm
asking is that I almost got a copy some years ago.

Hi Hugh, 4:3 format (and no scan and pan, as some of the framings are off set) Colour and contrast very good, my print has no scratches or tram lines but there seems to be some master neg horizontal scratches for a few seconds here and there. But an enjoyable yarn from a nice super 8 print with solid optical sound. Cheers, Mark

Been watching a number PRC 40's films including 'Mad Monster' 1942 which was a bit creepy as good old Zucco lurches at the camera. Interesting actor this who fought for Britain in world war 1, getting shot in France and loosing use of part of his hand. One of the great names on the silver screen for me.

Mark. Its a bit since I ran my Raise the Titanic scope print so you now reminded me to do so. Have a look at the UK expert clips here about the film http://youtu.be/ZhvengpwPj8
And a very nice chap he is to.

Ran a crappy print (not a Blackhawk) of The Arcadian Maid and it still took my breath away. Can you imagine? This is cinema at it's most primitive and yet the suspense and drama is better than most anything on the boob tube. DW Griffith was the director.

Been a while since I got to play with my films. I treated myself to an afternoon matinee of B+W westerns from when I was a kid. First up was a first season episode of The Wild Wild West "Night of the Sudden Death" followed by the feature starring Joel McCrae from 1957 "Gunsight Ridge". The B+H JAN did the honors. Bliss...

Mad Monster
A little 1940’s gem this and oh so much better than the DVD. George Zucco at his best as a creepy scientist in the mad lab transforming poor old Glenn Strange into man wolf who does his own bit of creeping around the woods at night. Glen was quite a fascinating chap having done the Frankenstein bit and even appearing with The Lone Ranger amongst other things. He was also a noted singing cowboy type and left us in 1973, but even as a kid he held a fascination for me and it’s nice to have Mad Monster in the archive. These PRC films are always popular here at our shows and raise a smile when the ‘Devil Bat’ music score crops up in the majority of the spook flicks.

Fascinating evening watching ‘Guns of Navarone’ 1961 on 8mm. It was a good opener to viewing the dare I say it Blu-ray extras and the restoration doc was excellent. The guy in charge of the lengthy resto commented that after restoration a new print should be made on 35mm to archive as it’s the best way to preserve the image, unlike modern digital systems where formats change all the time and become obsolete. He just about hit the nail on the head for us here also pointing out 35mm film had been an established format for so many years as well. Oh what a night!

Coney Island w/ Buster Keaton and Fatty Arbuckle

This is a text book slapstick comedy. It's wonderful! I read in Ken Brown's book on DW Griffith that these films like DW's did not work off a script but improvised much of the gags or dramas portrayed. Well this one is all about Arbuckle and now I know why he was such a big star. He had a confidence and intelligence about his slapstick. Some of the stuff is pretty fabulous Including the cross dressing Fatty. Filmed on location in early 1900's Coney Island.

Coney Island plays better on the big screen.

It's nice to cross reference this film with Harold Lloyds: Speedy.
There are similar locations of the Coney Island amusement park,
especially that it's historically significant.
