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...

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...

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....
I had a similar experience recently when I brought a couple of old monster movies over to a friend's house to watch. I figured his young daughter would be...
I still vividly remember the day we got our first color TV. The first show we watched (as a family of course since we only had the one set...those primitive...
Don't feel bad Dean. I'm only 37, and I feel like an Old Fart when I talk to just about anyone under the age of 30. I think a big part of the problem is that...

What's your favorite Ray Harryhausen movie? That's a tough question I know, with so many great candidates to choose from. For me the answer has to come down to...
Yeah, One Million B.C. is a Harryhausen effort. I like the idea of that movie better than the realization. The stop motion on the little dinosaur that attacks...
