Jinzo, Would not having a DVD player be considered excusable? I'd love to see the films, but I'm still back in the tape era. I also dropped by to tell Dean...

I did stay up late to watch Laughton in 'The Hunchback' last night, and I sat through 'Curse of the Swamp Creature' first, so I wouldn't forget when the...

Hi everyone, I forgot to mention one very cool film that is being shown this week on TCM! Oh and by the way, all times listed here and in my other post are...
The Ghost of Slumber Mountain is the real gem in this batch for me. I've never seen this proto-Kong vehicle before. I'll have to set my alarm, or set my VCR. ...
Hi everyone, Some classic horror, sci-fi, fantasy films in July on TCM! All times are EST and the descriptions are courtesy of the TCM website. Enjoy! :) Sat,...
Here's the schedule for AMC "Planet of the Apes" Fest, which begins on July 4, but continues long into July 5. All times are EST. Friday, July 4 8pm Planet of...
I first saw 'Planet of the Apes' in the week during which I was being processed from Basic Training to Advanced Infantry Training, and since it was a film that...
Hi everyone, There are some cool films on TCM Sunday, check it out! 2:30pm Memories of Oz (documentary) 3:00pm Wonderful Wizard of Oz: 50 Years of Magic...
Like Lugosi's entrance in the 31 Dracula, this scene is one that causes me to be riveted to the screen, no matter how many times I see it. Even my ex wife,...
Planet of the Apes was likely the very first sci-fi film I saw in the theatre. I was ten or eleven or so and my mom dropped me off at the local small-town...
I didn't get to see this one in the theatres...it disappeared too quickly for me. But I didn't snag it on video and I wasn't disappointed. It's just what I...
This is one of my absolute favorite movies period...leave alone "monster" movies. I'd call the Jack Arnold Universal monster flicks B+ Movies. They are too...
Hi there, I agree, it's definitely one of the better of these films of the 50's. I liked all you had to say about it, and would simply add that it wasn't bad...
I agree with everything you've said Dean. Tarantula can stand outside the genre as an example of a good B film, a damned good B film. In my opinion, this is...
It's ironic that you mention The Incredible Shrinking Man Jon. I had a few extra hours last evening and that's the one I dug out of the video pile. I hadn't...
Excellent analysis! I'd like to read your comments on the 50 Ft Woman. Like Scott, Nancy is forced to look at her marriage, at her victimization, and finally...
This movie is a fun flick for sure, but I don't take it nearly as seriously as I do the Jack Arnold material for Universal. While the Arnold stuff has the...
<p>Dean and friends, I haven't seen TARANTULA in years, but you're so right--it stands out from other 50s sf/horrors the way just about all of Jack Arnold's...
... to ... I once spent a horrible Thanksgiving afternoon listen to a relative- by-marriage, who had recently retired from the Air Force explain in minute...
The one thing that makes Deadly Mantis work is the total lack of irony in the movie. There isn't anyone in the movie who doesn't seem to take the threat...
Jon- Nice to see someone else in the world who appreciates these obscure films. The director was Larry Buchanan. He had a deal with A.I.P. in the late 60's...
I heard about these for years before I was actually able to see one. The first one of course is most famous for its ending scene with the "human-fly" trapped...
Hi Dean, Thanks for the reviews. I pretty much agree with your assessments, and like you, I haven't seen the 3rd film (Curse of...). I didn't much like the...
