 This month the latest James Bond film NO TIME TO DIE finally gets released to theaters. Because of this I will spend all month on this blog writing various best/worst lists relating to the Bond movies. It was something I had planned to do when NO TIME TO DIE was going to be originally released read more

 The Warner Archive Collection once again warms the hearts of film buffs with a much-needed home video upgrading of one of the greatest Westerns ever made. THE NAKED SPUR (1953) isn't just my favorite James Stewart/Anthony Mann collaboration, it's one of my favorite American Westerns period.&nb read more

 Another movie from the COLD WAR CREATURES: FOUR FILMS FROM SAM KATZMAN Blu-ray set from Arrow Video. This one is ZOMBIES OF MORA TAU, a 1957 tale of the walking dead directed by Edward Cahn. Somewhere off the coast of Africa, a group of treasure hunters searches for a safe filled with dia read more

 The first film included in Arrow's COLD WAR CREATURES: FOUR FILMS FROM SAM KATZMAN Blu-ray box set that I will be writing a blog post on is CREATURE WITH THE ATOM BRAIN (1955).Mr. Evelyn Ankers, aka Richard Denning, stars as Chet Walker, the head of a police lab in a large U.S. city. Walker in read more

 The most important thing about CRY MACHO is that a 90-year old Clint Eastwood produced, directed, and starred in a major studio motion picture during a very complicated time in America. That fact is a testament to Eastwood's work ethic and no-nonsense attitude. As for the movie itself, it read more

 Arrow Video does it again with another amazing Blu-ray box set to warm the hearts of cult movie geeks. COLD WAR CREATURES: FOUR FILMS FROM SAM KATZMAN features a quartet of low-budget genre films produced by B-movie maven Sam Katzman for Columbia Pictures in the mid 1950s. The movies are read more

 BLIND CORNER is a very effective 1964 British black & white suspense drama with a cast that includes some names familiar to film geeks--William Sylvester (2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY), Barbara Shelley (THE GORGON), and Elizabeth Shepherd (THE TOMB OF LIGEIA). The film was released in the United read more

 This is another early 1950s Hammer film directed by Terence Fisher. THE BLACK GLOVE was the American title of the film, and the title of the version I saw on the Tubi streaming channel. The British title, FACE THE MUSIC, is far more appropriate. Alex Nicol is the imported American star th read more

 Arrow Video has released a new Blu-ray special edition of the notorious 1984 film adaptation of Frank Herbert's novel DUNE. That is the impetus for this post. There are plenty of people who hate DUNE. Most folks consider it to be too weird, or incomprehensible. (Ironically, hardcore fans read more

 Kit Parker Films and The Sprocket Vault continue their DVD series of comedy short subjects from the Hal Roach Studios with CHARLEY CHASE AT HAL ROACH: THE TALKIES VOLUME THREE 1934-36. The three-disc set contains the final 21 two-reelers Charley Chase starred in for Roach before he and the com read more

 Last night Turner Classic Movies showed the 1951 British film CLOUDBURST as part of the network's "Noir Alley" series. CLOUDBURST was made by Hammer Films, and it has an important part in that company's history. The movie was the first production by Hammer to be mainly shot at the manor house read more

 A couple of days ago, Ingrid Bergman was given her own day as part of "Summer Under The Stars" month on Turner Classic Movies. This gave me the opportunity to watch a movie starring Bergman I had never seen before--SARATOGA TRUNK, a Warner Bros. film made in 1943, but not released until 1945.& read more

 Another Tubi discovery--a very, very low budget 1956 film dealing with the Yeti. The producer-director of MAN BEAST was Jerry Warren, best known for churning out mediocre versions of various Mexican genre movies. This is another "the poster is far more exciting than anything that happens read more

 KILL ME TOMORROW (1957) is the last film Terence Fisher directed before THE CURSE OF FRANKENSTEIN. It is a low-budget British black & white crime story, much in the same vein as the B pictures Fisher made for Hammer Films in the early 1950s. KILL ME TOMORROW attempts to be a gritty noir th read more

 One of the films included in the magnificent THE EUROCRYPT OF CHRISTOPHER LEE COLLECTION box set from Severin is CRYPT OF THE VAMPIRE, a 1963 film that has gone under many titles. The main title on the version presented in this Blu-ray set is LA CRIPTA E L'INCUBO. I had a Retromedia DVD of thi read more

 Kino continues its exemplary series of Weimar Cinema releases with the 1932 film F. P. 1 DOESN'T ANSWER. Both the original German and English-language versions of the film are included on this disc. The story concerns the F. P. 1, or Floating Platform One, an artificial island built in th read more

 Kino has released on Region A Blu-ray Josef von Sternberg's first talking film, the 1929 THUNDERBOLT, from Paramount. THUNDERBOLT is a follow-up to von Sternberg's gangster hit UNDERWORLD of a few years earlier. Both movies star George Bancroft. In my opinion UNDERWORLD is the much better read more

 Another first-time watch for me. This is the third classic "Fly" movie, after THE FLY and RETURN OF THE FLY, which were made in America in the late 1950s. CURSE OF THE FLY wasn't produced until 1965, and it was made in England. The co-producer was low-budget movie maven Robert Lippert, and the read more

 THE SECRET BRIDE (1934) is not a romantic melodrama--it is a mystery story involving political corruption at the state level. It was produced by Warner Bros., and it stars Barbara Stanwyck and Warren William. Robert Sheldon (Warren William), the attorney general of his state, marries Ruth read more

 Is there anything more exciting than the life of a U.S. Postal Inspector? Apparently Universal Studios in 1936 thought the job was exciting enough to make a movie about the profession, called, naturally enough, POSTAL INSPECTOR. Ricardo Cortez plays Inspector Bill Davis, a man dedicated t read more
