The Devil and Daniel Webster (2003)
There were three versions of this film. The latest was by far the best!
I happened to be looking at the reviews and noticed one blatantly negative comment from an editor who worked on the original trailer for this film. I too saw the original version and it did leave a lot to be desired. However, there were two more versions, one after Baldwin abandoned ship and the last one just before it was sold to Bob Yari. I can definitely say that the final cut -- which is the one that's coming out next year -- is by far the best!!!
The latest version is a half hour shorter and a great editing job by whoever did the work. Anothony Hopkins was called in to do some extra voice-overs and the end result is that this film really rocks!! There's a great song that was written by one of the producers of the film (Michael Gordon) which I hope they use for the opening song. You can listen to the song and see lots of stuff about this film at mowefilms.com.
This is a classic story which won an Academy Award back in the 40's and I think it's got a shot at "Best Song" or "Best Screenplay" if it comes out in the theaters at the right time. Anyway, see the film and judge for yourself. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.
Mafiosa (2006)
This was a great idea for a series!! Funny and Original!!
There are so many bad programs out there right now that I hesitate to turn the channel on my television. Especially bad are the many reality shows that clog the airwaves every night. It was refreshing to watch something a little different. I saw this in Boston and the quality of the film was pretty bad but I learned later that it was due to the screening equipment rather than the film itself.
I'm not a critic so I watch a program strictly for the entertainment value. Nothing else. If there is is a car that wasn't supposed to be in the shot or a line that didn't work, who cares? I certainly don't. I thought this film was funny and I laughed for much of the show so that's about all I can expect from a comedy.
So, if I were a critic, I would give it a "Thumbs Up". Definitely worth watching.
