It's funny what a one year old will and will not watch. Mine today watched "The Giant Claw"(1957). Here is a child that watches primarily "Baby Einstein" videos and likes to throw my DVD's all over the floor. She doesn't have the time, nor patience, to sit and watch anything, let alone some piece of 50's schlock such as this. Makes me smile and laugh at the same time.
Every time the giant vulture came on the screen she raised her little hands, opened and closed them, and said "roar". She does the same thing to pictures of bears, dinosaurs, and horses....ha ha ha.
Anyway, this is the first post on my new blog. I am here to get out my geek and talk about all the movies I watch because I don't usually get the opportunity. I hope anyone that reads it enjoys and comments. On to the first film...
For fans of Godzilla type monster on the loose flicks, "The Giant Claw" should be on the list of those looking for a movie to drink to with a big unbelievable monster puppet eating planes on strings. Most of the acting is so cookie cutter and stock that it is all pretty forgettable, but any scene in which the monster is in, which the filmmaker Fred F. Sears uses most of the same shots over and over again, are priceless hilarity.
"It's good for tha snake a bite..."
Plus the drunk French Canadian character Pierre gives the film some great mushed english for short periods of time.
Have a urge to see some bad 50's monster flick? This will fill the bill.
My score: 6/10
This post is short and sweet. I am sure it will change.
