He establishes the ground situation with a sense of impending doom, not just with the principal cast and how they’ll fare in the z read more

Classic Soap Opera Comes Back From the Dead – Will Others Follow?
Cinematically Insane Posted by Will McKinley on Jul 18, 2014
Here’s something I probably shouldn’t admit, but what the hell: in 1982 I was a regular viewer of six daytime soap operas: The Edge of Night, The Guiding Light, As the World Turns, Search for Tomorrow, Another World, and Texas (a daytime knock-off of Dallas.) When I tell people that, as a 13-year-ol read more

life on the frontier; they understand that the thrill of adventure comes hand

Virtual Virago Posted by Jennifer Garlen on Apr 20, 2012
With so many representations of the femme fatale in art, music and literature, a man might consider himself duly warned against the seductive charms of the destructive woman, but being forewarned is no assurance that a man will entirely escape the shame and suffering of betrayal from the one he love read more

Classic Movies Posted by KC on Nov 30, -0001
I recently enjoyed a trio of horror/fantasy films new to Blu-ray from Warner Archive. While they are dramatically different stories, they each evoke suspense and mystery in intriguingly quirky ways. Bermuda Depths (1978)
