Fort Bowie (1958)
A wonderful surprise from a little known movie
I just finished watching Fort Bowie, and was pleasantly surprised at what a good movie it was. I had never seen it before and the review I had read said it was a low budget film, but the cuts must have come from the actors salary. Ben Johnson was super as was most of the rest of the cast. I also was thrilled to see Johnny Western in a fairly noticeable role. The action scenes were certainly big budget caliber. I recently saw the last western that Ben Johnson made and there was little change in his appearance, except for a bit of weight gain. To me his acting is as natural as John Waynes. Kent Smith did a creditable job in his role. As far as the other actors I wasn't familiar with any of them except the "old sarge", but the movie was far better than I was expecting.
La muerte viviente (1971)
Wholeheartedly agree with the previous writer
I just recently purchased this movie Snake People, and when finished I was just as confused as at the beginning. Snakes were used for shock value, but after six or more times it sorta lost its punch. I hope poor Karloff was paid well for this gig. I can't complain too much, I got a double feature, "SABAKA" being the other, almost as bad for a buck.
The young lieutenant swaggered around with his uniform tunic unbuttoned with the supposedly spit and polish colonel never saying a word to him about it. All in all it was pretty bad,but the color was great.The dubbing was fair at best, but Karloff carried his part very well. I'm sure he was glad he could wear a mask through a lot of the movie. His role was almost comical rather than scary. I managed to sleep very well that night unlike some of his movies.
