(Not So) Random Movie Mention: CRY OF THE BANSHEE (1970)
EDGAR ALLAN POE and VINCENT PRICE Merge Once Again!
While “CRY OF THE BANSHEE” Is NOT The Best Of The Best…I
…It Does Have Some Plus-Points.
The Main Plus Being Its Star VINCENT PRICE!
He Does All he Can To Give This Flick Something Fun To Showcase.
His Performance Is CLASSIC VINCENT PRICE, Fo SHO!
The Production Values Are Acceptable.
The Direction Is Simply NOT As Top-Notch As One Would Have Hoped, And The Supporting Cast Is VERY HIT&MISS.
That’s Putting It As Mildly As Possible.
HOWEVER… It IS A Fun Flick, Despite Its Glaring Flaws, And An EASY CHOICE For A Random, or (Not So) Random, Mentioning.
If You’re Just Looking For Something Kinda Gory & Brutal, With An AMAZING PERFORMER Headlining The Show…
…You Could Do A Lot Worse Than “CRY OF THE BANSHEE” And THAT’s A BIG FO SHO, Good Buddies!

“Some Sunny Day, Baby… When Everything Seems OK, Baby… You’ll Wake-Up And Find That You’re Alone…” — ROBERT PLANT and ALISON KRAUSS
“…’Cause I’ll Be Gone…
…Gone Gone Gone…
…Really Gone…
…Gone Gone Gone…
…’Cause You Done Me Wrong. …”
… … …
"GONE GONE GONE (Done Moved On)" Off The Album "RAISING SAND" (2007) From ROBERT PLANT and ALISON KRAUSS.
… … …
“…And Everyone That You Meet , Baby…
…As You Walk Down The Street, Baby…
…Will Ask You Why You’re Walking All Alone…
…Why You’re On Your Own…
…Just Say I’m Gone…
…Gone Gone Gone…
…Gone Gone Gone…
…’Cause You Done Me Wrong. …”
… … …
A True-Blue Melding Of ROBERT PLANT‘s Rocker Background & Style…
…With ALISON KRAUSS‘ More Folk & Bluegrass Stylings…
…Making A Truly Unique Sound.
Alright, I TOTALLY ADMIT This…
…Some Of The Songs Are Even TOOOOO MELLOW For ME.
However…
…That Doesn’t Really Take Away From The Fact That…
“RAISING SAND”
…Is Exceptionally Unique In Style AND Sound…
…And I Can (at the least) Recommend It To Anyone Who’s Truly In The Mood For Something A Little DIFFERENT.
Trust Me, My Peeps…
…This Album EXUDES The Term “DIFFERENT”…
…And Even Relishes In It.
That Alone Is (at the least) Worth A Quick LISTEN…
…Right???
Well I Think So.
You Either Do OR You Don’t.
I’m Just The Messenger.

“…We Have A Task Before Us Which Must Be Speedily Performed. We Know That It Will Be Ruinous To Make Delay. …” — EDGAR ALLAN POE (“The Imp Of The Perverse” (1845))
“…The Most Important Crisis Of Our Life Calls…
…Trumpet-Tongued…
…For IMMEDIATE Energy AND Action.
We Glow…
…We Are Consumed With Eagerness To Commence The Work…
…With The Anticipation Of Whose Glorious Result Our Whole Souls Are On Fire.
It MUST…
…It SHALL Be Undertaken Today…
…And Yet We Put It Off Until Tomorrow…
…And Why?
There Is No Answer…
…Except That We Feel PERVERSE…
…Using The Word With No Comprehension Of The Principle. …”
