I heart everyone who includes a Val Lewton in their top 5, it killed me that 2 just made the cut. Truly wonderful and exciting films.

Wow, those were hilarious. The nightclub scene in RHRH was non-stop goods.

Spinal · 08-14-2008, 06:13 AM

Didn't care for Red Hot Riding Hood as much as I thought I would. The battle of the sexes is kind of coarse and it never really lives up to its promise of offering a satisfactory update of the fairy tale. Mildly amusing at best.

Liked the Porky/Daffy short much better. Lots of laughs and even kinda arty in places. The fall down the stairs ...

Well, yeah, this is totally true. The characterization of the Grandma is admirable, but I was disappointed it meant the sudden complete ignorance of the fairy tale's plot.

Still think most of it was priceless, though.
