ALL SCI-FI

I think almost any actor would be interested, eager even, to work with Quentin Tarantino. He writes delicious dialogue.

A few years back I worked with Tom Wopat and asked him about working on DJANG ...

Damn Yankees deserves a thread of its own. It's one of the best baseball movies, one of the best variations on the Faust legend, and one of the best Broadway-to-Hollywood musicals. With the amazingly ...

I'm glad you can sing the song, Pam. It's just too bad that Sheryl Crow couldn't sing it.

I'm sure Ms. Crow is a lovely, talented woman, and kind to dogs, but her performance is probably the lames ...

Nah, FAIL SAFE is an excellent movie, with a wonderful cast working at top capability.

The far-fetched ending is almost acceptable as you watch it, but after the movie ends you gradually realize th ...

Late in life Chaney stated in an interview that he did, however, play both monsters in the film. He may well have been referring, correctly, to Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein (1948) where he b ...

Actually, DR. STRANGELOVE is based on a novel titled RED ALERT. The authors of FAIL SAFE were sued for plagiarism by the former book's author. The FAIL SAFE authors paid a (supposedly large) out of co ...

I met Shirley Knight several times a few years back when I did a show with her daughter.

In addition to her youthful hotness and her lifelong acting brilliance, she is a very nice, friendly lady an ...

It's a great film, genuinely great. It is, arguably, the first great American horror film.

It's true that it's best to see it in a good print. The current Blu-ray is pretty spectacular.

But... ...

This is probably my third or fourth favorite superhero movie ever.

I'm sick to death of comic book movies, but I'm still eagerly looking forward to DEADPOOL 2 -- even recognizing that the sequel ve ...

I did read the novelization about a year ago and somewhat enjoyed it. By the way, though Curt Siodmak's name is writ large on the cover, the book was actually written by Robert Smith (who is credited ...

Couple of things...

(1) This is not a good movie. Not at all. But seeing it, as I did, on its original double-feature, is very kind to it. Because compared with THE SNAKE WOMAN, DR. BLOOD'S COFFIN ...

I saw this at my local movie house at a Saturday matinee in 1960. I had seen the trailer a week or two earlier and, as you suggested, it looked pretty neat. But the main focus of the trailer, and defi ...

Yes, the critter does make quite a few appearances. At least on the DVD he does.

But when I saw this — a couple of times — on the Late Show back in '60 and '61, I couldn't make out just what he ...

My runaway choice for worst British horror film. Maybe worst ever. Certainly the worst from the Hammer era, say 1955-1980.

I saw this on its original double-feature release. Takes quite a special m ...

I'm pretty much with the naysayers here. STAR WARS was terrific, EMPIRE STRIKES BACK was magnificent (the one truly Great Film in the series). This one was, at best, a disappointment.

I stood in a ...
