Wednesday 26th February, 7.45pm Robot vs the Aztec Mummy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7F1T8...F1T8YOMtvE 1958 Mexican science fiction horror film directed by Rafael Portillo, and starring Ramón Gay and Rosa Arenas. A mad doctor builds a robot in order to steal a valuable Aztec treasure from a tomb guarded by a centuries-old living mummy. This one has just about everything! And since it's 'horror SF' probably not for the faint-hearted. But if you watched 'Animals' and survived, you should be OK. "You're not sulking, I hope?"

Yes, the Robot vs the Aztec Mummy is known to us. It's a real dog of a film but should suit us well for our little gang of 'film riffers'. Looking forward (?) to it.

Phew! Had a bit of a panic earlier today when our internet and even the landline stopped workiing. Had to steal some wifi from the nearest uninhabited holiday home to make a few phone calls....and we're back. Well done to our ISP and 'Open Reach'. (The electricity people are digging holes in the road not far away - coincidence??*). Looking forward to this one. Have to admit I lost track a bit during my first viewing of it. Don't think I fell asleep, but I know I ended up a bit confused. Still, it all counts. Onward! * and of course they've waited until it's half term so that the place is crammed with tourists. Jammed-up traffic all over the place around their 'temporary' traffic lights etc. "You're not sulking, I hope?"

There is nothing like a Mexican film, unless you have seen a South Korean one or a Russo-Finnish one, or an Italian one! They're not the best at block-buster hits.

The singing has so little to do with the accompaniment. It's a masterpiece!

We watch these type films all the time and I often turn to Brad and say 'they just don't make movies like this anymore' and he replies, 'thank God'.

Directed by Rafael Portillo, he never made a bad film. In fact he probably never made a film again...

Oh, there is always a little kid in these who knows it all. Especially in Kaiju films (Godzilla) We'll call him 'Kenny'.
