The divergence of opinion between movie critics and movie-goers in 2010 is perfectly exemplified by reaction this week's DVD pick: MARMADUKE got 90% negative reviews at RT, but managed to do fairly well at the box office. Based on a comic strip even more decrepit and irrelevant than GARFIELD, MARMADUKE centers on a big dumb Great Dane who talks, drives a car and surfs in the movie. To discuss this dog, CLICK HERE.
As The King of Tacky Tie-ins and Promotional Gimmicks, producer/director William Castle was a master at making something from nothing. To make his 1958 horror flick HOUSE ON HAUNTED HILL "interactive," Castle arranged for a skeleton strung on a wire to float out over the audience during key scenes. The version erring on TCM later this weekwon't have Skelly, but it does provide lotsa fun, goose-bumpy moments.
