I remember seeing that opening to 13 ghosts as a very young kid and it scared me too, inspired this nightmare I used to have. in it if I came too close to the doorway set underneath a set of stairs as soon as I got too close I would hear scary noises and if I opened that door what was waiting inside was malicious evil incarnate... but what really scared me was when the monster of piedras blancas came tearing out of kochek's freezer with a decapitated head in his right claw. I remember once as a kid of 12 or 13 it was being shown on channel 9's 4 o'clock movie... well sir... I was home alone and watching it on the living room TV set. it was late afternoon, the sun was out and it was quite daylight out but I was still scared so I girded myself. I got up and stood behind the chair waitng for the creature's roar as it came out of the freezer with head in claw.. it still scared me. sometimes he could be friendly.

a favorite scene.

let her eat tara. you know what you can do with that, scarlett?

maybe Disney could try their luck with 50 foot women.

GWTW 2001 a space odyssey

most irritating musical I ever tried to sit through.

and Kubrick plagiarized Astroboy with A.I.

tony and George nader ah oh.

shouldn't it be about johnny depp losing all his money?

Disney the greedsters plagiarized the lion king from....

a good film often times suggested it be held apart from the other hammer frankenstein movies because it doan jive with the 1st and 2nd film. maybe but cushing makes it worth watching and good ole Freddie francis will direct cushing for the final time as the baron a decade later. I wish the ending were slightly different though. so here's Zoltan prevailing on the monster to kill Frankenstein for his rough treatment a few moments before. Frankenstein shoulda let Zoltan exit with the gold and he wouldn't have gotten so mad. but no, Zoltan keeps ordering the monster to kill the baron even though the baron keeps sticking a hot torch in his face. so Zoltan won't let up and kiwi spears him! a great moment. I say let Zoltan get away with the gold and let the baron, hans and the mute redheaded girl face the villagers.

I too went to see it back in 1977 but I was reading about it months before in the pages of starlog. bought the 2-LP soundtrack album too.

democrat debate on cnn.

does tonite's version of star wars have that stupid cgi smoke ring when the death star explodes? and screw that 'a new hope' HS too. not a bad lineup as we get to hear the real kirk belch out "KHHAAAANNNNN!" as only shatner can.

our vines have tender apes

dana gives a marvelously understated performance as top geophysics scientist Steven Sorenson in Philip yordan's Crack in the World.

his performance as a jewish pow in escape from sobibor should not be overlooked.

hey, it was Irwin's brand of escapist entertainment but he did go too far recycling the same monster head gear.

Adm. Harriman Nelson was a sailor afterall.

bob dowdell is still alive.

Mutiny on the Bounty (1962) minimized for years by arrogant Hollywood critics. saw it for the first time more than 45 years ago when it debuted on network TV on the ABC Sunday Night Movie 4:3 formatted and in black & white which could not diminish it's greatness. for years I have laughed at leonard maltin's dismissive remarks like 'brando's interpretation of fletcher Christian is all wrong' and the 1935 version is 'leagues ahead'. this was a 4-star blockbuster to me from the first time I saw it. historically inaccurate of course but brando and trevor howard's performances cannot be ignored. finally Hollywood's critic geniuses have started classifying it as a 4-star movie. this is why couch potatoes and space cadet's don't believe in waiting on stupidity.

dam right.

that's why their ratings are falling. too much of this kinda HS. they're supposed to be reporting the news.

that dance scene needs to be remade.
