The Question Isn’t Who Ya Gonna Call? But Who’s Gonna Answer That Call – Here’s The Trailer For The New Ghostbusters Movie
Durnmoose Movie Musings Posted by Michael on Mar 3, 2016
I dunno. Maybe it’s just the mood that I’m in today. There’s really nothing wrong with this trailer, and it looks like Ghostbusters 3 or whatever they wind up actually calling it could be entertaining. Still, there’s a part of me that watches this and feels like it seems more read more
Throwback Thursday – The Birds : Alfred Hitchcock’s Zombie Movie?
Durnmoose Movie Musings Posted by Michael on Mar 3, 2016
Between this blog and my previous one, Professor Damian’s Public Domain Treasure Chest, I’ve been writing about movies for quite a while now. Because of that, there are a lot of posts that have simply gotten lost to the mists of time. So, I figured I’d use the idea of “Throwb read more
Chowing Down On Some Hilarious Seafood – The Mermaid (2016)
Durnmoose Movie Musings Posted by Michael on Feb 28, 2016
One of the things that I always love about Stephen Chow’s movies is that he never forgets that he is making a movie. What I mean by that is that rather than trying to fit into some kind of “realistic” mode which seems to be all the rage now, Chow is willing to recognize and accept read more
Forget Freddie vs Jason – Here’s The Teaser Trailer For Sadako vs Kayako (2016)
Durnmoose Movie Musings Posted by Michael on Feb 25, 2016
So if you take two of the most popular and terrifying horror franchises ever produced and have the main characters come into conflict with each other what do you get? Well, if you’re talking about what’s come to be known as J-Horror, and those franchises are Ringu and Ju-On – or as read more
Quckie Review – The Judge (2014)
Durnmoose Movie Musings Posted by Michael on Feb 20, 2016
Okay, let’s take a look at 2014’s The Judge and see what we’ve got here: Robert Duvall as the titular cantankerous old coot judge? Check. Robert Downey Jr as his charming arsehole lawyer son? Check. Billy Bob Thornton as the too slick opposition lawyer? Check. Vera Farmiga as the s read more
(Un)Seeing Red – Here’s The First Real Trailer For Daredevil Season 2 (2016)
Durnmoose Movie Musings Posted by Michael on Feb 15, 2016
If you were a fan of the first season of Netflix/Marvel’s Daredevil, you’re going to find a lot to like about this trailer for the second season. One thing that pleased me personally is that we’re actually going to get the red suit instead of him being simply decked out in black. T read more
Come For O’Toole, Stay For Whittaker – Venus (2006)
Durnmoose Movie Musings Posted by Michael on Feb 13, 2016
Roger Michell’s 2006 film Venus could very easily have been your typical May-December romance/coming of age story, but fortunately it isn’t, largely thanks not only to an inspired performance by the always fascinating Peter O’Toole, but a much surprising turn by Jodie Whittaker as read more

A Sensual Noodle Fest – Tampopo (1985)
Durnmoose Movie Musings Posted by Michael on Feb 8, 2016
There are times when eating is simply about fueling up the body for whatever is to come next. Then there are those other times… Juzo Itami’s Tampopo is a film that never forgets the sensual side of food and eating. The movie takes its name from that of its heroine, who runs a roadside ra read more
A Covering Comics Bonus – New Neal Adams Covers
Durnmoose Movie Musings Posted by Michael on Feb 6, 2016
In the last Covering Comics column (#14), I did a spotlight feature on the covers of Artist Neal Adams, and at the end I noted that Mr. Adams is still doing occasional work in comics, though most of the time now he’s concentrating on illustrating mini-series which he is also writing. As it tur read more

Quickie Review – Cloverfield (2008)
Durnmoose Movie Musings Posted by Michael on Feb 1, 2016
After the recent surprise announcement of the follow-up film 10 Cloverfield Lane and the accompanying trailer which immediately turned me on if for no other reason than the presence of John Goodman who is almost always a selling point for me, I decided maybe it was time to go ahead and watch the ori read more
Covering Comics #14 – Artist Spotlight: Neal Adams
Durnmoose Movie Musings Posted by Michael on Jan 30, 2016
I’ve often said that I miss the comics covers of old. Those covers were designed, unlike many of the ones being produced today which are merely mini-posters spotlighting the titular character without giving any indication of the story contained inside, to draw readers in and make them anxious read more

Quickie Review – The Super Cops (1974)
Durnmoose Movie Musings Posted by Michael on Jan 26, 2016
Part buddy cop movie, part let’s fight police corruption movie, The Super Cops works pretty well as at least light entertainment. This is definitely one time where you should think Starsky and Hutch much more than say Serpico or even Lethal Weapon. The setting is early 70s New York, and newly read more

Durnmoose Movie Musings Posted by Michael on Jan 25, 2016
It’s time to take a look at one of the films on the Sight and Sound Top 250 of All Time again, and today’s pick is #199 on the list, Jacques Tourneur’s Out of the Past. And as always I’ll note that for those just joining us, you can find a full introduction to what the Sight read more
Kubrick On Kubrick – Stanley Kubrick: The Lost Tapes
Durnmoose Movie Musings Posted by Michael on Jan 24, 2016
Stanley Kubrick: The Lost Tapes is a short documentary which was compiled by Jim Casey from a series of tape recordings made by Jeremy Bernstein in 1966.

Durnmoose Movie Musings Posted by Michael on Jan 23, 2016
In October of 2015 Gambit Magazine posted a list of its top 15 films that were still considered “lost” at the time. The list contained many of the usual suspect such as London at Midnight, but it also highlighted some obscurities such as a Filipino parody Batman Fights Dracula and one I& read more
