As we begin 2006, I thought it would be a good time to reflect on the theatrical films of 2005 by making it the theme of this week's Secret Cinema Saturday...
The voting probably won't reflect our view of the best... because ... well, I for one haven't seen all that many of them yet, and I assume others will be in a...
Should this list include "Godzilla Final Wars", "Ultraman: The Next", "Casshern", "Kung Fu Hustle", "Howl's Moving Castle". All these were first released in...
Sorry, Joe. This came out sounding like I expected you to have listed them all. I didn't mean that. Most of them are low and no-profile films, and it's not...
You can base your vote anyway you choose ... either the films you personally thought were the best ... or maybe you might list those you have yet to see but...
Feel free to list any theatrical film of 2005 you choose. I listed those from a list of titles I discovered on an internet movie data base. I didn't mention...
With the release of the 2005 Steven Spielberg blockbuster to DVD we now have a total of four variations of the H. G. Wells novel "War Of The Worlds" to choose...
Thanks for the great summation, Joe. The two "lesser" versions haven't appeared down here in Oz, but I have wondered about them. Rob PS. Have I mentioned...
I think I'll do a best I've seen (of those released to DVD) and want to see again now: 1. Batman Begins (the best version of a comicbook superhero yet) 2. Kung...
Greetings Joe, and all fellow members of these monster groups. I just had a blissful and restful Christmas vacation, and am not back to the old grind stone....
I went and saw "King Kong" last week when I was on Christmas Vacation, and it did have me on the verge of tears at one point. I really found myself feeling so...
I never voted in this 'secret cinema' because I was off all week. I watched "Scrooge" on Christmas Eve, and last Saturday at 10:30 I watched "End of Days"...
The problem there is that Thomas Edison was an inventive genious in his own right. He invented many of the things we take for granted, such as movies, ...
It was one of the very first movies ever made, but again, Edison was no Steven Speilberg. He's my hero in terms of his genious as an inventor, and I quite...
I do not, unfortunately which is why I have to do my shopping on the web on ocassion. My order finaly did arrive, and I love it. I already can't wait until...
I have a silent screan version of the story "Dr. Jeckyl & Mr. Hyde" which was also said to be a "lost film." The reason was that no negative or a projectable...
If they could find the archival paper frames, they could probably reconstruct it just like they did the 1914 version of "Dr. Jeckyl & Mr. Hyde." Mike...
The same process was used to restore this film. Archival photos of each and every frame was pain stakenly reconstructed frame by frame so it can be transfered...
Well my picks are going to be an easy task. I've only seen six. lol There are a few I've been waiting to get and a bunch I've never heard of. I'll have to copy...
Thanks for the review, Joe. I have three of them, now I'll have to go to BlockBuster and try and get the other. You can never have to many alien invation...
I watched "End of Days" on New Years Eve, and "Law & Order Criminal Intent" and "The Twilight Zone" alternating between the two on New Years Day. I also took...
It's funny you should ask that, because like so many other "yahoos" out there, I like to toss out a couple of lit packs of fire crackers as soon as the count...
I agree that it was a little long, but it was a great film, and told two great stories, with some chilling scenes with the bugs. I couldn't finish my pop corn...
Well, Joe, 2005 was a pretty good year for new realeases, and the horror genre had more then it's fair share. Due to my difficulty at remembering titles off...
Rob: I do n't know if this has happened to you or not, but I have found through my personal experience that when all my friends and the movie critics nay-say...
