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...
hi my name is shirley and i think the fly fristone and the second was good movies and just got done tapeing thr fly 1998 about the young kid was good too...
Hey there Dean- I had never seen either of the first 2 50's "FLY" films myself. While shopping for new DVD's the other day (I'm slooowly converting over) I saw...
This early sixties film does take itself seriously and is probably my favorite of the three films in the original trilogy. It is set in French Canada (the...
Hi everyone, AMC is showing some cool flix this Sunday and Monday and despite my aversion to their change of format, I will check some of this out. All times...
Dig these great movies coming up this week on TCM! Commercial free and uncut, man! Great stuff (and this is only the horror/sci fi stuff on there)! :) All...
Hey everyone, Here is this next week's groovy film schedule on TCM. Uncut and commercial free horror and sci-fi! And, if you dig other classic genres, their...
I finally got a chance to see Vincent Price's take on Richard Matheson's classic "I Am Legend". I caught it on a public access station in Nashville of all...
Dean- If you have a DVD player, you're in luck! While shopping for some new 'old' flicks a few weeks back, I happened on a sweet find. A company called...
Has anyone noticed in recent years that everything Halloween-related is now available only in cutesy form? Decorations and advertising NEVER show anything as...
I couldn't agree more. We had Frankenberry, Count Chocula, Frankenstein Jr., and others, but we also had the originals to measure the kiddie versions against....
