Flowers for the Dead (2013)
Michel De Montaigne of Breaking Fate Magazine Review
Michel de Montaigne of Breaking Fate Magazine Review of 'Flowers for the DEAD' from the Living Dead Film Festival last weekend in Willow Springs IL
Flowers for the Dead (40m)
I was excited for Flowers for the Dead (directed by Joe Barbarisi), as it was the first "serious" film of the night. Shot on super8, Flowers is a no-nonsense homage to Romero; a slow-burn black and white suspense story with classic, fresh from the grave, slow moving undead. The film follows Linda, who's bringing the titular flowers to her recently deceased mother. She hears strange reports on the radio but thinks nothing of it until a rotting man in a suit tries to take a chunk out of her jugular. The atmosphere is magnificent, with shadows used so liberally and effectively it makes you forget you're not watching the Cabinet of Doctor Caligari. German Expressionism aside, what makes this film truly compelling and frightening is the overwhelming sense of isolation. There are no other characters, it's just Linda and the residents of the cemetery. Minimalist in its approach, Flowers doesn't try to be anything other than what it is; a 40 minute horror time capsule from 1968.
One in a Million: The Ron LeFlore Story (1978)
Great Made-for-TV Baseball Film
during the late 80s, these made for TV biopics were being made left and right. along comes this well acted and great story of former TIGER/EXPOS/WHITE SOX star Mr Ron LeFLORE. Lavar Burton is at his best in this film, very convincing. he really looked like a big leaguer and was able to even have the swing that Leflore had and his quick speed. this was always one of my favorite films on TV growing up, and the film still has a great impact on the 'baseball films'. its probably one of the most underrated and not well know baseball films. even today Ron Leflore still has a youth program for 'city kids' and is still involved with helping others from getting their lives back on track and keeping the kids of today out of trouble. i recently found a VHS Commercial copy of this film! and hope to see it make a DVD release someday, with some bonus material for all of us Ron Leflore, or just baseball fans all around. if you have the chance to see this film on TBS or whatever..check it out!
