Criticker MOM - October 2014

[Bojangles]

My best guess was a wire as well, I'm just impressed at how level they were able to keep the whole thing with a wire that was probably mounted 15 feet above that doorway. idk, but it WAS exciting, wasn't it? Whenever I see something exciting, I want to understand how they achieved that effect. And the sinister echo-laden music makes it all the better. I had to stop halfway through the movie, but that's easily the definitive shot thusfar.

There's similar shots in The Thin Red Line where I don't understand how they got them. Over mounds of terrain, but completely steady and level. Not even any wobble like the above^^ shot.

Maybe we could throw together an unofficial MOM for December as a stopgap. Anyone have a movie they'd like to nominate?

Great!. I'll add some nominations of my own onto your list, and anyone can do the same. Maybe we could start voting on the 25th or 26th...

B-movie:
The Fruits of Passion (1981)

Seems like finding film titles is easy but checking their availability can take time.
