Last night I watched the 2021 documentary BORIS KARLOFF: THE MAN BEHIND THE MONSTER on the Tubi streaming channel. The film was directed and co-written by Thomas Hamilton. It's a fine program, giving a fairly complete retrospective on Boris Karloff's acting career. What makes it a cut abo read more

Are They Talking About The Monster Or The Movie? – From Hell It Came (1957)
Durnmoose Movie Musings Posted by Michael on Jan 8, 2018
A while back I realized that Hulu had picked up the 80’s TV police series Hill Street Blues and remembering how much I liked it during its initial run, decided it was time for a grand rewatch. So far I’m about half-way through the third season, and it’s definitely holding up to my read more

The Monster That Challenged the World (1957)
Journeys in Classic Film Posted by on Oct 19, 2015
There’s something to be said about the 1950s science-fiction film. Their plots may have been coldly focused on issues of the time, lending them all an imitative air, but the acting and scripts, for the most part, never went for the easy laughs. In recent years the Mystery Science Theater crowd read more

The Monster Walks (1932, Frank R. Strayer)
The Stop Button Posted by on Dec 6, 2013
I went into The Monster Walks with what I consider reasonable expectations. I thought it would be bad. I thought it would be a bad, low budget, rainy night in a mansion with a killer ape loose movie. It is all of those things, but it’s also awful. Director Strayer apparently had such a low bu read more
