The more I see, the more I want to see. I was very skeptical when I first heard about this production a couple of years ago, but clearly my concerns were...
I'm also excited about seeing LOTR. I remember plowing through the first book many, many moons ago. Of course the Ralph Bakshi animated flicks were pretty ...
Let me begin by saying that I adore the first Tremors movie. I haven't so thoroughly enjoyed a movie since Bladerunner, and before that maybe the Them or The...
The name of this first movie Tarzan started me thinking. What if we developed a toy which has little wooden parts that laugh when you put them together to ...
I don't think they'll sell. The kids don't know who Elmo Lincoln is. Hell, their parents won't know who Elmo Lincoln is, although I can remember the first...
My 24 year old stepdaughter probably knows who Elmo Lincoln is, I bet. If I asked her, she'd say he was that president who freed the slaves in the 1950s ...
I've updated the club photo in honor of the newest Godzilla film, due in theaters December 15th. (In Japan only, at least for now.) <br><br>He's leaner, and a...
Jinzo,<br><br>I imagine the newest Godzilla film will be available in one format or another fairly soon, even if it doesn't play in theaters in the States. As...
Just got it on video. I didn't get to the theaters for this one so this was my first time through. It substantially below the standard of the first two films,...
"As far as subtitled Godzilla films go, how much reading can be involved with the typical Godzilla film?"<br><br>Ha! Ha! Pretty funny Jon. Not too much to sink...
Jinzo,<br><br>I always considered the original Gamara films to be lesser than the Godzilla films, although they did have a manic sense of humor. Therefore, I'm...
Dean,<br><br>This might be considered heritical, but I can't say I cared much for the first two 'Jurassic Park' films (then again, I watched both on television...
It's worth seeing just for the effects, if you can manage to see it really cheap or even free. Otherwise it's a miss, particularly if the first two didn't trip...
I whole-heartedly agree that the old 60's/70's Gamera films were tepid at best. The exception being the first sequel, Gamera vs. Baragon. That film differed in...
Jinzo,<br><br>The VCR is still down, but there is one package under the tree that I can't figure out what is in it. It's the right size and shape to be a VCR,...
I, too, have a big box under the tree that could be a new DVD player (fingers crossed!), but with my luck, it's probably a list of "things to do" from the old...
The mysterious package turned out not to be a VCR but an electric sewing machine (a gift to my wife, although both out names were on it). So it goes. ...
I don't want to rub salt in your wound, but my daughter got me some credit at the local video sales outlet and I used to to get a couple of classic ...
First let me say that I enjoyed this movie...a lot. But despite waiting over 25 years for it to get made, I can't overlook its basic flaw...an unavoidable one...
Found this one cheap and gave it a try sight unseen. (I for some reason like Treat Williams.) It's a grand old sea monster story with lots of fine effects and...
I pretty much agree with ya Dean. It IS a good movie. And it IS too long. Much too long. The worst part of this is that, as I understand it, each segment of ...
I LOVED this movie!!! I didn't really know all that much about it when I went to see it, and was really surprised at how cool and fun it was. It's sort of a...
This is apparently the direct sequel to Bela Lugosi's orginal Dracula film. I have never seen it, but the other day I was able to procur a copy for a few ...
I suspect the main reason these creatures are rarely shown getting out of their coffins is simply because it's probably not very scary to see someone trying to...
See:<br> Johann Petursson height 7 ft. 8 inches<br> Max Palmer 7 ft. 8 inches<br> Lock Martin 7 ft.7 inches<br> Eddie Carmel 7 ft. 6 inches<br>(their actual as...
I think part of the answer to your question is that in the 1930s and 40s, audiences were more easily shocked by stuff we take for granted. We hardly give a ...
Ohne of the scenes I thought was great in Nosferatu was when the vampire rises from the coffin; they merely put a board under him to shoot the scene, and ...
I imagine you are right. Getting out of a coffin and looking good would likely be tough to do. When they hoist old Max Shreck out of the box in Nosferatu it...
