Twilight Zone The Movie
Review date: 2007-12-29 Rating: 8 out of 10
I have been waiting a lifetime for this to finally come to DVD,my video version wore out a long time ago.After the opening scene,which is handled with the right air of both comedy and horror,we are met with the famous Twilight theme and the eerie intro spoken with relish by the great Burgess Meredith.The first segment by John Landis holds up ,perhaps better than it should given the terrible accident on set that took the lives of star Vic Morrow and two child actors and has an ending that will stick in youre head.Joe Dantes segment is typical Dante Menace mixing with Slapstick in a worthy up date to one of the most famous of all the Zone episodes.George Miller's episode in my opinion is by far the best THERES A MAN ON THE WING OF THE PLANE!!!!!!! with a monster far superior to its remake's and also wraps up the whole movie nicely.The ONLY let down is ironically the very director that you would have thought could handle this material in his sleep,and unfortunatly it looks as though he was asleep while directing it.Speilberg coats the whole segment in syrup to the point that tooth decay will set in if you watch it twice.Still worth four stars though and at this price you really cant say no,it is a CLASSIC and its good points far outweigh the bad.BUY IT!!!!!
