Giallo
The new thriller from Dario Argento is a step away from his normal output, but sadly not in a good way.

Most of the younger generation has watched the remake featuring Steve Martin and Beyonce Knowles, released in 2006, but for those who have been the fans of one of the funniest phenomena in the history of cinema, nothing compares to the original version.

Attack of the Killer Tomatoes (1978): Four Stars
Tomatoes mysteriously become self-aware, sentient beings that set out to destroy humanity. The President and his staff recruit a special team of people to deter the tomato threat before it’s too late. Is it me or does the plot of this film sound like it’s right out of a 1950s science fiction movie? It sure does, if you ask me. But thankfully, this movie doesn’t take itself seriously.

The Pink Panther Strikes Again (1976): Five Stars
Chief Inspector Dreyfus has escaped from the mental hospital and sets his sights high as he fully commits himself to killing Inspector Clouseau.
The fifth film in the “Pink Panther” series, “The Pink Panther Strikes Again”, does indeed strike once more and this time with an all-out, non-stop barrel of laugh-out loud gags and moments. It almost feels as if they were saving this hilarious script for the right moment. Clouseau and his boss, who’s been aching to kill him for the past few films, finally go head to head, Dreyfus is now the main villain this time around whereas in the previous films, his insanity and desire to kill Clouseau was more or less a sub plot of sorts to play around with.
