Contentar Best movie of this year hands down!

Taraparain Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Sam Panico René Cardona Jr. gave us Tintorera, a Susan George star vehicle about the Mexican version of Jaws and Guyana: Crime of the Century, which somehow included Stuart Whitman as Reverend James Johnson leading Johnstown, along with Gene Barry and Joseph Cotten. If these things warm your heart, you're reading the right website.Based on Charles Berlitz's best-selling book, this one has it all. Atlantis. A possessed doll. Black characters dubbed to sound like they're coming straight out of Amos 'n Andy. And John Huston. Yes, that famous director. That guy.The Black Whale III has set sail for the Bermuda Triangle with the Marvin family leading the way. Sure, they're looking for Atlantis, but mostly they just argue with one another. Finding a doll in the water, the family's young daughter Diana becomes possessed, telling people how they'll die and locking the cook in the freezer.Oh yeah - there's also a scuba diving expedition that leads to the oldest daughter getting her legs crushed and her father just can't decide whether or not to cut her legs off. Such is the drama of this film.People start getting killed off until the desperate captain tries to call other ships for help. They end up hearing multiple distress calls, including their own being played back to them. When they finally reach someone, they learn that everyone on board died ten years ago. All that's left is the doll floating in the water.Claudine Auger (Black Belly of the Tarantula) shows up here, livening things up somewhat. This film is strange, as it wants to be about so many things while struggling to be about anything. And as mentioned before, the near minstrel show dubbing of the black cook is quite troubling at worst or hilariously inappropriate at best.Let me reiterate: Hollywood legend John Huston is somehow in this piece of crap. Oh the 1970's, when once big time talent would show up in the strangest of films!I found this for free on Amazon Prime, so I recommend you do the same. The doll parts are at least somewhat cool, as is the atonal soundtrack and poor dubbing.

Idiot-Deluxe The Bermuda Triangle, as it's title boldly implies, is a film that's based around the mystique surrounding the Bermuda Triangle, which in itself sounds fairly compelling... however this movie is mostly about the people on board a yacht known as the Black Whale III. Oh and what a charismatic lot they are! The films primary cast is comprised of about 12 people of various ages (including John Huston and Claudine Auger), but mostly the cast is made from a short list of small-time/no-name actors (if you watch this movie you'll no why their not a known name), whose acting is typically so casual and mundane, that you'd swear that they weren't aware that they were part of a movie. And to make things even worse, all of the child actors dialog is dubbed (and often by people who sound much older then them), which has a way of making them sound unnatural and even ridiculous at times. This is especially true for the little blonde girl, her voice sounds about as natural as that of a talking dolls. And just to mention it, it's always a bad sign when the quarrelings of a dysfunctional middle-aged couple produce the movies most entertaining moments and that's where Claudine Auger comes in. Filmed in 1977, a full 12 years after her famous appearance (as Domino) in Thunderball, she's not looking quite as beautiful here and she's constantly bickering with her boozehound husband (whose hitting the J & B scotch ultra-heavy). Sadly, these scenes between the two of them are, for me at least, the movies liveliest scenes. I find that there's something colorfully compelling about their biting mutual disdain for each other, not to mention all the great free-flowing sarcasm, that these two bitter souls stir up between each other.The purpose of their cruise is to scuba-dive on the site of some ancient underwater ruins that are many miles out to sea (this type of setting can make for some absolutely incredible visuals, but don't worry, nothing remotely interesting, let alone incredible comes of it), so don your wet-suit and get ready to partake in this grand dive of theirs. This lengthy dive sequence was clearly meant to be the movies grand center-piece, but yet it lasts for far too long and is, like the rest of this movie, a total bore - just underwater this time. You'd think that this sequence would supply some temporary reprieve from all the mundane nothingness, that's taking place aboard the decks of the Black Whale III, but that's not the case. This 10 minute underwater foray generates all the thrills and excitement of watching a bowl of jello gelatinate or waiting for cup of pudding to thicken. In more capable hands this sequence could've been a surreal underwater odyssey. But, in the end of it all, it does help quicken the movies pace, when bad luck befalls the loveliest of the ships passengers, when an ancient pillar topples over and crushes her legs, now things get desperate fast, as she needs help ASAP, but the mysterious ways of The Bermuda Triangle (also known as The Devils Triangle) make that impossible and the only doctor on board is a hopeless and bitter drunk. When it's all said and done there is virtually nothing compelling or entertaining about this lame and forgotten movie from the late-70's, it's biggest failure is it's cast and that's clearly reflected through their lack of any real chemistry between each other - not that they had anything interesting to say in the first place and the voice-dubbing only makes this bad movie worse.The Bermuda Triangle seems to do little else, but kick dirt on John Huston's long and storied career - The Maltese Falcon this is not.The verdict is: Very slow, very dull and just plain bad, like the majority of movies from the 70's tend to be.

thecomputer-201-251463 This film is utter garbage, the dubbing is horrible to the point of distraction, some acting is pretty good, some very bad... and the plot... a computer program could do better just stringing thriller movie cliché's together. We developed no empathy for the characters, and were just hoping they would all meet a quick demise, not for them, but so that we could end our suffering watching this film. Generally I enjoy cheesy classic 70's and 80's thriller/disaster films, but didn't enjoy this one bit! I actually took the time and effort to sign up for an IMDb account just so I could review this film and warn the rest of the world what manure this film is. Worst I've seen in years, save yourself 2 hours of your life and skip it.

Michael_Elliott Bermuda Triangle, The (1978) * (out of 4) Incredibly bad film from Mexican director Rene Cardona, Jr. A family goes off to the Bermuda Triangle to see what the big deal is and guess what happens. This film tries to be mysterious and creepy but fails on both levels because the screenplay is all over the place and never really makes a bit of sense. Character enter and exit the film without any explanation and the "mystery" of the Bermuda Triangle is never resolved or even talked about much, although the film tries to play claim to a cursed doll, which causes all the problems. There's some wonderful underwater photography but this too get hampered by three real sharks being killed on the screen for no reason. John Huston, Andres Garcia, Gloria Guida and Claudine Auger star.
