THE VERDICT (1982). Don't think this is as good as it's Mae out to be, but decent turn by Paul Newman as a washed up lawyer who decides to take the high road for a change. Good support by Jack Warden and James Mason. ***

Yeah, I saw this for the first time in the last year or so, thought it was just OK. Not quite what I was expecting. It was highly hyped in it's time. There are much better court films, to say the least.

That is true...WITNESS FOR THE PROSECUTION , JUDGEMENT AT NUREMBERG ,
ANATOMY OF A MURDER, the funny MY COUSIN VINNIE and although it has continuity issues, let's throw in JAGGED EDGE!

THE PROWLER (1981). Some really good things here like Savini's special effects, a better than average opening with vintage props throughout and some lovely footage of wonderful Cape May NJ are done in by a truly unimaginative script and a overly huffy heroine. Know some people really like this, but I can't get into it. **

KINGDOM OF THE SPIDERS (1977). Kind of goofy in spots, but not a bad little flick, involving that old 70's chestnut of Nature striking back. While it's kind of hard to imagine William Shatner as a small town Vet, he is alright here and decent supporting cast of lovely Tiffany Bolling (although she is always dressed as though she were at a dinner party), Woody Strode, Altovise Davis (third Wife of Sammy Davis JR) and Marcy Lafferty as Bill's Sister-in-Law who may have feelings for him (in real life, she was MRS Shatner at the time)

Borrows elements from other films like THE BIRDS, NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD and especially JAWS, but can truthfully say, that once was enough, it wasn't boring. **1/2

Rifftrax version? Is it any different?

I enjoyed Kingdom of the Spiders when it debuted on TV. That was enough for me. I do love the fx still of the town covered in webs.
