Stars in Rewind: Clint Eastwood in 'Revenge of the Creature'
Filed under: New Releases », Trailers and Clips », Stars in Rewind »
Look at him, all young and squeaky, with Inspector Callahan and the Man with No Name not even a glimmer in his eye. This is how you know that destiny plays some part in the mess that is Hollywood moviemaking, because he really should have been handed nothing but screwball comedies after this. (Not that he didn't try slapstick at least one more time -- watch The Witches if you haven't already.) Thank goodness for Rawhide, and for demanding a low enough salary that Sergio Leone hired him over just about everyone else he wanted. The rest is history, a fistful of Oscars, and a thousand cinematic homages.
If you want an extra laugh (and can put up with some YouTuber's annoying editing tricks), check out the MST3K version of Revenge, but the pure version is below the jump.
Universal Releases 3-D DVDs

Just when I was thinking the new 3-D technology championed by George Lucas and James Cameron would save the movie theaters, I come across the subject of 3-D home entertainment. This isn't something new. Sensio has been selling a 3-D processor for years and Universal Studio Home Entertainment has already put out a DVD of the animated short Santa Vs. the Snowman 3D using Sensio's technology. But now Universal and Sensio have announced plans to release five classic (well, old) 3-D movies, which will finally be seen at home as they were meant to be seen. The titles are Creature from the Black Lagoon, Revenge of the Creature, Jaws 3D, It Came From Outer Space and Taza, Son of Cochise.
Though none of these five movies are hugely attractive, at least not enough to get consumers more interested and aware of Sensio's equipment, and though the entire set up required for their viewing is upwards of $35,000 (the processor is only a few thousand bucks, but special TVs, DVD players and/or projectors are also needed), the fact that quality 3-D home viewing exists makes the promotion of 3-D in cinemas a lot less momentous. Eventually I see the new 3-D movies being released in theaters and then released on 3-D DVDs, and the choice between the multiplex and the living room will be the same as it is today.
