"The Jerk" (1979)- Comedian Steve Martin as Navin "The Jerk" in a film directed by the brilliant Carl Reiner.

 Navin (Martin) works at a gas station. A crazed man is hiding on a hill across from
 the gas station. The shooter is "secretly" sniping at Navin with a hunting rifle. Shots hit oilcans that are stacked in a pyramid between the gas pumps next to Navin. The bullets smack into the cans with a popping sound and oil is squirting out of the holes. After multiple cans are hit Navin innocently says:
"Hey, I think these cans of oil are defective."

Fancy film words

1. Physical setting and decor
2. Staging of the action
3. The way in which the elements are framed
4. The way in which the elements are photographed

Tentpole- A film designed to be a top grossing blockbuster (usually in the summer) to make up for a studio's financial flops. The Tentpole is usually part of a franchise series of films. Holy Tentpole Batman!

"The Re-Animator"(1985) Directed by Stuart Gordon
Med school student Herbert West experiments with re-animating dead tissue. His professor dies in the lab under weird circumstances and Herbert is forced to continue his "re-agent"work at a new university. Gore and humor propel us through a Frankenstein/Jekyle & Hyde/Zombie hybrid flick based on an original story by master of horror H.P. Lovecraft. On a relatively low budget this picture provides excellent production value, performances and direction. It is deftly designed for hardcore horror fans who revel in the absurdly gross. Popularity led to a series of re-animator films. If you enjoy "The Evil Dead","Dead Alive" and the "Living Dead" films, "The Re-Animator" belongs in your Netflix cue.
