In Witness (1985), director Peter Weir makes a brilliant stylistic choice here: the instant Samuel notices a news clipping, all dialogue and ambient sound drop out. The sudden silence, broken by a single, chilling synth note, allows the visuals to deliver the film’s key twist.
Well I’ll be damned if I didn’t enjoy the hell out of “MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE!” I wasn’t the biggest HE-MAN fan growing up, but loved how fun, clever & self-aware the film is! A little long & uneven, but it leans into the cheesy factor & NICHOLAS GALITZINE makes it work! SEE IT!
If you would have told this 6-year-old “STAR TREK” fan that he would one day be interviewing @WilliamShatner while on a horse named “BUTTER,” I never would have believed it! WATCH my live hit for KTLA-5 for WILLIAM SHATNER’S HOLLYWOOD CHARITY HORSE SHOW right HERE!
