Review of Corman's World (2011) by Ian G — 15 Mar 2012
As Ron Howard says, "The way Disney movies bring out the child in all of us, so can exploitation." Watching this documentary for the second time I found the film relating to that same introspective particle of my being that Martin Scorsese's Hugo speaks towards; why do I love cheap, base, just-do-it filmmaking? Watch Corman's World for the answer.
And seeing the members of the Corman School--Scorsese, Jonathan Demme, Joe Dante, Dick Miller, Pam Grier, Peter Fonda, Bruce Dern, etc sing the praises of the infamous penny pincher is a true joy for the fans, and Jack Nicholson's genuine love for the man is tremendously moving.
You'll come away from Corman's World seeking the B-Movie classics you missed as well as the one's you already cherish. VF.
