some movies live or die by their characters, rising above from the sewers of cinematic mediocrity - - sometimes in spite of a less than original premise, middling technical credentials, or other drawbacks - - to leave their mark on audiences based largely on the excellent realization of the people the movie is about, so crackling is their dialogue and so well played and outlined the figures are. mulberry street, a rats - attack / zombie movie hybrid, is one such film .

little italy today is largely symbolic territory, like the vatican within italy. the old ravenite social club — a headquarters for the gambino crime syndicate — is now a cydwoq “shoe - tique. ” chinatown, once south of canal street, extends most of the way up mott street. at the catholic churches, mass is offered in vietnamese and cantonese .

genre busting: screenwriter jay cocks described the film as a
western from mars
, it' s a re - imagining of the past as a post - apocalyptic wasteland, with violent urban street gangs in a context with real menace and violence rather than west side story, and a focus and interest on urban segregation that would make sociologists and anthropologists proud. scorsese indeed hoped that the film would launch a new genre to replace the western, believing that stories in this landscape will have increasing resonance in the years to come .
see, instead of existing in a vacuum like most horror flicks where nothing of real worth can ever seep in, mulberry street insists on embracing all those little lifelike details. buried somewhere in there, too, is a commentary on the gentrification of urban america, which mainly makes its point without harassing the viewer about it. too bad then that all that reality has to also add up to realistic fates for most of these great characters .

scorsese looked up mott street toward houston street. “where the korean restaurant is, that used to be a two - family house. past it was a funeral home. the funeral procession would come out and bear the coffin along the sidewalk here and into the cathedral. i remember two kids from the neighborhood, 16 or 17 — they died of cancer, and the families had to be carried from the funeral home to the church, they were so devastated. it was terrible. i’ll never forget it. ”

the film had been pilloried by conservative christians for a dream sequence in which christ has sex with mary magdalene. in depicting christ’s life as a doubt - ridden struggle between his human and divine natures, scorsese had intended to make a film that was at once an act of doubt and an act of faith. in the novel he was reading, the priest was shown profaning an image of christ, and yet the act was an act of faith .

” is an ideal example of what can be done with a small budget, and amongst the better zombie flicks in years. similar to “28 days later” in style and tone, it could almost serve as a prequel to danny boyle’s modern day masterpiece, if his infected were plagued by an unknown virus transmitted through the city’s rat population. the afflicted would also have to slowly acquire the characteristics of the rodents as the sickness took effect as well, sort of like living dead were - rats. as i’d stated, breaking “mulberry street” down into a condensed statement makes it sound like utter garbage. trust me, it is anything but .

pps: ok, guys? knock it off. i do not care about your opinions of the last jedi. just agree with me here that harassing people is not okay. you don’t need to “justify” your dislike of the film. you don’t need to add a “but... ” to your statement. there’s no need to add a qualifier. agreeing that harassment is wrong doesn’t mean you have to like the film. that discussion isn’t needed here. so please, knock it off .
also watch the marathon this weekend and i recall seeing a shootout scene that i believe is found in front of what we called the horseshoe bar or the crocodile dundee bar or 7b it’s a bar on the corner of avenue b and seven street sorry i wish i could remember the exact scene .
the make - up effects are every iota as established as the rest of the production, though the low lighting certainly helps to cover any possible flaws. their purpose is clearly that of a gimmick, to set “mulberry street” apart from billions of other zombie sagas that are currently polluting netflix queues across this great nation, passed up nearly every time the movie urge arises because one jumps to the sound conclusion that they’re no different than the others. for every “dead snow” or “zombie honeymoon” (a guilty pleasure, but a true original), there are hundreds of “zombie nation” travesties (i hate you, ulli lommel) lurking in the shadows, ready to pounce .
when this film was shot, a friend of mine was doing his medical residency at new york eye and ear hospital and i thought i remembered him telling me the interior hospital room scene was shot there one night. the st george fell on hard times, i think it was an abandoned bar even when coppola shot there, it was a strip club for a while in the 1980s. you could still see the art deco etched glass even then that is visible in the scene in the film. i never heard of mitchel being referred to as mitchel air force base, always referred to it as mitchel field. the toll booth was supposed to be the old tolls at the loop parkway that used to exist to enter the meadowbrook. great research on this film .
the barbershop could be on the lower levels of the st regis hotel on e 55th street. that is the logo on the glass door. in addition a couple of other scenes where shot there. climbing the stairs and the guy shot in the revolving door i believe were also filmed at the st regis
because the film is a period piece, the godfather actually presents a fascinating record of what 1940s - era new york city locations still existed in the early - 1970s. sadly, many of them are now gone. what still remains? let’s take a closer look .
the film, in places, almost feels like an homage to 1970s american horror films, showing off the grandiose side of the manhattan skyline, but also the dark squalour in which the people live, as well as the impotence of authority and the survival instinct of man .
just called my friend who was doing his medical residency at new york eye & ear infirmary on 14th st back in the early 1970s. he said they definitely filmed brando’s hospital scene there and also the genco deathbed scene which can only be seen in the trilogy film version .
so understated and yet exciting is damici' s take on clutch (both in terms of acting and writing, since he also co - scripted the film with its director jim mickle) that the character quickly rises through the ranks of genre movie tough - guy heroes during this film' s brief 90 minutes, just about taking his place up there with such greats as john rambo, dirty harry, and even mad max - - while never devolving into the realm of near - parody that those three did in their latter adventures. this guy is that cool .
epic movie: this was to be scorsese' s epic movie, and chef d' ouevre. executive meddling caused it to be cut down some, and the acting of the romantic leads has led to mixed critical reception. it' s nevertheless every inch an epic film though .
, once emmanuelle vaugier and luke goss had already signed on to do it, you can bet that someone else would take his place. but if director jim mickle (who wrote the film along with nick damici, who plays the lead) gave up on it, it’s pretty likely that
that’s the plan for now. i have a couple of contacts, that i got from my hollywood producer contacts, who are in rome, and apparently were location scouts for the film. so, i might be able to narrow it down further before i leave for sicily in june .
... starts out like the sort of indie art - house fare you' d expect an up - and - coming film student to make... but soon a mutant strain of bubonic plague spread by rats starts turning all the inhabitants of new york into rat - faced zombies .
mob war: the dead rabbits (and later resurrected dead rabbits) vs. bill' s nativists are a pretty hard - core, tribal version of this. unusual for representations of this kind of conflict in film, it ends with the authorities barging in and massacring (almost) everybody .
ostensibly a zombie movie, mickle does a good job of selling the idea that new york is under quarantine. since he’s not exactly francis lawrence, he can’t really shut down whole areas of the city, so he sells these ideas via a near constant stream of news and tv broadcasts that mix footage from what i assume is from 9 / 11, the blackout, etc. , along with standard “quick no one’s around let’s film this street” type stuff. it works well. most of the action is confined to a single apartment building, and thus doesn’t require such extravagant shots like a deserted times square in order to get the point across .
scout: outstanding work for your godfather photos and historical research. your untiring efforts made to investigate the facts behind each scene are certainly appreciated, especially those associated with sonny’s demise at the tolls booths. viewing each photo, combined with your subtitles, was similar to being taken back into the original film .
cardinal hayes is a high school in the bronx, and after a year of minor seminary — a tryout for the priesthood; once a regular stop for bright catholic boys of limited means — scorsese went there. (don delillo, the novelist, was a few years ahead .) rejected by fordham university because of poor grades, scorsese enrolled at n. y. u. ’s washington square college and its film program. from there, he plunged into the ’60s: a concertgoer at the fillmore east, an expatriate in england and holland, an assistant director at woodstock (he became an editor on the concert film) and then a maker of his own movies — “who’s that knocking at my door, ” about a young man in the suddenly liberated ’60s whose catholic principles keep him out of bed with his girlfriend, and “boxcar bertha, ” a film about a female rabble - rouser “free’er than most. ”
this can apply to a number of things in the movie; modern audiences can be shocked and appalled by how new york really was in the 1860' s, looking at modern new york now it' s almost unbelievable. and yet the film, though taking a few creative liberties, is largely accurate .
however, only the don leaving the hospital by ambulance was shot at lincoln hospital in the bronx, the exterior of michael standing outside with enzo the baker was shot at bellevue hospital, the 29th st. entrance (with close - ups filmed on the paramount lot in hollywood). the29th st. side bellevue entrance has been closed off since 2001, but an identical entrance is on the 30th st. side of the building and matches the entrance in the film perfectly. the interior hospital scenes were shot at the eye and ear hospital on 13th street and 2nd ave. that location is also comparable in appearance as it was in march, 1971 when they shot the scene .
when scorsese returned from japan, he procured the film rights to “silence. ” as the years passed, hardly a day went by without his mentioning the project to the people around him: actors, friends and even his old parish priest, father principe. as he made “the aviator” and “the departed, ” “shutter island” and “hugo, ” he insisted that “silence” was the picture he really wanted to make. a jesuit was elected pope; islamic terrorists began targeting christians in the middle east. in 2014, with “the wolf of wall street” a hit, scorsese declared that “silence” would be his next picture: he wouldn’t commit to another until it was finished. twenty - six years in, filming began .
jason and ashley said their nuptuals at their beautiful may wedding in macon ga. the ceremony was held at mulberry methodist church in downtown macon, and the reception was held at idle hour country club. obviously head over heels for each other, these two celebrated the night away surrounded by close family and friends. the entire day was beautiful in every way and reflected the love they have for one another. congratulations jason and ashley! it was a pleasure working with you both !
the dvd comes with what seems like a substantial amount of extras, but sadly they are not really much to write blogs about. the video quality is poor on several, resulting in a “what the hell am i looking at? ” feeling on the outtakes and makeup test portions. a pair of deleted scenes are wisely cut, and the sketches / storyboards are only of minor interest. still, the film itself is the real bonus. this is exactly the type of film after dark should be releasing (in the festival or not) – true independent films that would be otherwise lost on the video shelves without the promotion ad gave them. you think something like
the characters don' t run into cliché often, which shows how well thought - out the film is. it would have been far too easy to have the screaming blond girl, for example. all of them have their own personal strengths and character flaws and we don' t get endless conversation about their back - story. they are, in equal measure, tragic, strong and human. particularly in the last few minutes, when the story reaches a rather low key climax, they really do come to life. there' s a sense of intelligence in the film that ends, as did night of the living dead, with a sense of hopelessness .
it’s also one of the few modern horror movies to deal with any sort of social commentary. greedy land developers and such are given their due, the heroes of the film are hard - working blue collar types who are just trying to survive. sure, it’s hardly original, but since so few modern horror films (especially the ones
an article on nov. 27 about martin scorsese referred incorrectly to his involvement with “woodstock, ” the 1970 documentary about the 1969 music festival. he was one of several editors on the film, not the sole editor. the article also misidentified the company that released the 1986 drama “the color of money. ” it was released by touchstone pictures in association with silver screen partners ii, not universal pictures. the article also referred incorrectly to the title of a film. it is “the bridge on the river kwai, ” not “bridge over the river kwai. ” the article also misstated the given name of a jesuit poet. he was gerard manley hopkins, not gerald .
certain film characters are just instantly cool, and that' s the case in this indie horror movie' s male lead, clutch (nick damici). an aging ex - boxer who lives in an apartment building on the titular street in downtown new york city, clutch is the kind of no - nonsense guy you can count on when the going gets tough, but he' s also got a soft side, whether it' s pertaining to his daughter, a potential girlfriend, or the old dudes who live upstairs from him and don' t get around so well anymore. also, when it comes to fighting zombies, clutch doesn' t bother with guns or clubs or even cricket bats. nope, he just uses his fists .
, don’t really strike me as independent films. they have big actors (well, big for horror films), budgets of a million or more, myriad producers, etc. to me, an independent film is one that quite frankly wouldn’t be made if the director decided not to do it, populated with people you haven' t seen in
at his mercy, he describes the hellish ways in which he will disfigure him with his knife. when we next see him, he is walking down the street with his face obscured but several onlookers stare in horror, implying bill stuck to his word. when the camera pans around, there doesn' t seem to be much of a difference aside from a slight scar on his cheek that is hardly noticeable .
by the time the godfather was filmed, all us churches would have made the change in the orientation of the altar, so the way it is set for the film was probably a special staging to reflect the way it would have looked in the 1940s. the baptismal font was probably still separate in the 1970s, but that tradition is no longer prevalent .
“i don’t think i am called to be a priest, ” garfield said to me resolutely, as if making this film had spurred him to consider the prospect. “but i had the feeling that i was being called to something: called to work with one of the great directors, and called to this role as something i had to pursue for my spiritual development. ”
they' ve done something quite interesting with the special effects in this film. they' ve kept the sight of attacks quite low, using mainly quick jumps and fade - to - black, or aftermath shots. it helps keep the story moving and doesn' t give us time to mock the lower budget sfx or compare them to more expensive films like 28 days later .
much of that feel comes from the picture having actually been shot in manhattan, and the city is all here, from the big beauty shots of the skyline to the nitty - gritty of clutch' s apartment building. but mulberry street' s sense of authenticity comes from those characters too, who all exist and act and react in this situation in such a way as to never draw the viewer out of the experience. when the super of the building turns into a big, slobbering rat - man, clutch' s middle - aged neighbor explains it to his elderly roommate quite simply :
he turned into a big f - - - ing rat. we had to lock him in the closet .
but he' s still more upset that his roomie has been sneaking in a stogie during the crisis. and when the upwardly mobile types in the building decide to leave town rather than stick out the infestation and fight, he responds ,

is well worth seeing and comes strongly recommended for you thinking people that want to see more than just teenagers making out and then getting killed. the film for the most part is a strong zombie siege style movie, that’s only really let down by its all of a sudden lame ending. and it' s refreshing to see a zombie movie (even though it' s not really a zombie film even though it follows the classic format) with strong characterisations acted by good actors under keen and assured direction, despite its flaws. with more budget assigned to the action sequences, and with a better ending, this could easily have been a classic. either way, it' s still well worth catching if you can see past its shortcomings, which i' m sure most of you will .
according to the press release, the exhibition “looks at the urban violence and mayhem that was the focus of weegee’s early work. ” he lived across the street from a police station and would hear of new crimes through his police - band radio receiver, often heading to the scene even before the police. with liberal use of flash, he “illuminat [ ed ] crime scenes and tragedies with garish artificial light. this new approach produced lurid high - contrast pictures. ”
an adaptation of massimo carlotto’s respiro corto, is a ‘gangster film goes global’, as new generation of criminals exploit the vast illegal markets of smuggling (to avoid tariffs), human trafficking (to provide cheap labor), money laundering (to repatriate profits), waste disposal (to eliminate toxic by products), narcotics (to cope with the frenzy of a 24 - hour global market) in an increasingly globalized economy .
here’s the thing: the last time i visited brooklyn heights, a few years ago, the entrance to this bar – including the art deco goldfish – were still visible from inside the clark street subway station. the glass doors were largely boarded up and padlocked, and could be seen only from several yards away. but if they’re still there today, look directly to your left as you enter through the subway station turnstiles — you may still glimpse the doors. what’s behind them … i’ve always wondered .
: while scorsese definitely did the research, he noted that the film is intended to be more of an
operatic
myth than a documentary; as a result, he felt free to mix and match cooler - sounding elements of various historical accounts that didn' t coexist in real life. the bulk of the movie' s set from 1862 - 1863 and rolls a decade' s worth of history into that time period .
deliberate values dissonance: the examples are legion. chinese immigrants are physically (and violently) prevented from voting. two rival city fire departments brawl in the street instead of actually putting out the fire. the welfare state is nonexistent, as the only people who give a damn about the sufferings of the slum inhabitants are church leaders and opportunistic

like boss tweed. and the only action taken against the threat of epidemic disease is squirting antibiotic gunk all over the streets from time to time .
i was fortunate enough at the age of 15 to have had the opportunity to be an extra in the godfather. i was at connie’s wedding at the house on staten island and i actually appear for a few brief seconds in the film. i remember very well the location and the fake walls made of plywood covered in stone veneer. thanks for the pictures of what it looks like today. brings back memories i will always cherish .
after dark horrorfest (also known as 8 films to die for) is an annual festival that began in 2006, highlighting independent genre movies that would have otherwise been delegated to the dusty shelves of the local rental shack, doomed to the hell that is obscurity. it was an inspired concept, giving budding film makers a platform to present their crafts, and i was excited to see what the future of horror had in store for me .
this is the best review of godfather locations that i’ve ever seen. two items i’d like to add. that barbershop photo has a logo on the glass which looks a lot like the logo of the st regis hotel in midtown (someone above already mentioned that). regarding lincoln hospital in the bronx, i used to work right across the street from the new hospital location while it was being built. it was finishing up when i quit in early ’72. i’d guess that the old hospital was demolished in ’72 or ’73 .
the film stars garrett hedlund, andrea riseborough, forest whitaker, tom wilkinson and usher raymond, among others. it is set in the south in the 1990s and follows character mike burden, an orphan raised within the ku klux klan, as he tries to leave the group at the urging of his girlfriend. whitaker portrays the pastor of a black congregation who takes burden, his girlfriend and her son in, in order to protect them from a vengeful klan .
it’s also smartly paced. the first 40 minutes are like old cronenberg in a way, with just the feeling of impending dread instead of in your face gore sequences. we just see these guys going about their day, with minor mentions of rat problems and such sort of presented in the background. then the 2nd half of the film (it’s only 82 minutes long, hurrah !) is an almost nonstop series of ‘zombie’ attacks (they’re more like the ratty vampire things from
the 55th street entrance to the wellington hotel looks very much like the location where one of the heads of a family gets locked in the revolving door and killed during the baptism assassination sequence. i have no proof that this is the location. it is just a hunch coming from me staying there on my only trip to nyc and as i went out that door knew that i had seen it before. then watching the movie again later this year convinced myself that was why it was familiar. i am curious if any ny’ers could look closer and see what you think .
i found the actual gravestone used in the film many years ago at fasolino monuments nearby the cemetery. they either sold or donated it to a school in long island city. my wife and i saw it in a lobby near some elevators there, but i haven’t visited there in years. also, i haven’t read all the posts, but supposedly, the barber shop “moe greene” scene was shot at the st. regis hotel. hence the st. r on the window outside the shop .
weren' t zombies either, merely infected humans, no matter what the fan sites say. this time though the infected have been bitten by rats, and the infected begin to display rat like characteristics almost immediately. big teeth i can buy (like the guys on the cover - they' re not in the film by the way) but the big snouty rat noses look a little bit ridiculous, which is a crying shame. not that you ever get to see them for that long though ,
the cast is a huge part of that success. with one exception, i don’t doubt for a second that any of these characters (mostly blue collar types) are genuine, hard - working new yorkers who get caught up in a horror movie plot. damici in particular is a fantastic lead, and carries the film effortlessly. big actors wouldn’t work for this particular movie. i always hate when i’d see a schwarzenegger movie that tried to pass him off as a regular family / working man (like
boss tweed, too. he tries to be a magnificent bastard. in the latter half of the film, he stokes the flames of conflict between bill cutting and amsterdam until the two are driven into a gang war which leaves all his rivals decimated. as a result, he is able to emerge as the uncontested master of new york politics until his downfall in 1871. however, a lot of his constituency is dead by the movie' s end .
we' re burying a lot of votes tonight ...
the cavalry: technically, the infantry, but once the riot breaks out, there' s a montage of violent scenes and telegraph reports about how the police are totally unable to contain the riot, the rioters have taken control of the city, all the police have been put out of action or are unaccounted for, there' s no hope, and then, suddenly ,
from 16th, the 7th regiment has arrived, foot of canal street. they are on their way to broadway .
there' s still a lot of fighting before the mob is put down, but you know the tide has turned.
