Cabaret (1972)

     10 months 2 jobs later in a year besotten by a pandemic I return to the old film blog. It's nice to know that no matter how often I abandon it I can always come back to post more musings. I've gone back to the old scratch off poster again fulfilling a promise I made just over a year ago that I'd muse on Cabaret (1972). So I done did a watch of the movie so lets do a talk about it.

Double Feature: Frankenstein (1931) & Dracula (1931)

So in an attempt to get through this scratch off poster of mine a little faster I've decided to double up on movies where time permits and doubling up is relevant, and there is no better pair of movies to start this with than Dracula and Frankenstein. Both films came out the same year, share an actor and producer, are based off classic horror literature framed as correspondence, and both Universal horror films. Its impossible to deny the influence both Frankenstein and Dracula had on the horror genre (having practically invented the mainstream perception of the genre) and on the broader industry.
