Where's the basement?

Gosh I've seen a lot of movies lately. Even BIG movies, like "Flags of Our Fathers." But am I going to talk about Eastwood's latest masterpiece (not). Or talk about the lame "Lake House" with a convoluted storyline that makes no logical sense?

No. I'm going to talk about "Don't Look In The Basement" a cheesy-ass 70's horror film about an insane asylum run by the inmates (kinda).

I'm 66 minutes into this 90 minute movie and I HAVEN'T SEEN THE BASEMENT yet. There' s been no references to it, no comments about it. No scary shots of the camera panning AWAY from the basement. Nope. Just everything happening ABOVE the basement.

Recently watched "The Manipulator" starring the venerable Mickey Rooney. About as bizarre a film as you'd ever want to see and very "David Lynchian" in its presentation. Look, particularly, for the scenes with Mickey wearing women's make-up and the slow-motion chase through the meat packing plant while the string quartet plays.

That's all for now, folks...
