Review of Dark Star (1974) by Rob E — 24 Jul 2008
[font=Arial Narrow]John Carpenter's finest film by a country mile. What stays in my mind is the fact that 3 of friends & myself chanced upon this movie by sheer ,err, chance. We came back from our 'local boozer' (somewhere thhat s[/font][font=Arial Narrow]erves' alchol jn vast amounts) and just switched on the TV.
We were totallty mesmerired by the first 15 minutes & could not stop grinning and laughing. The goddam beach ball, what a simpliistic & yet fantastic idea. The lift squence with the ball & Dan O'Bannon.
..sheer magic. Shall we blow it up....ask the bomb. Let their be light....Shame about John Carpenter though, he never really achieved those heady heights I had hoped for.Just my fucking opinion for what's it's worth.
