More Thoughts On STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS
The Hitless Wonder Movie Blog Posted by Dan Day Jr. on Dec 24, 2015
It's been a week since the opening of STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS, so I believe it's safe enough for me to discuss the film in greater detail. (WARNING!! If you have not seen the film yet, DO NOT read this post.)
As I said in my first impressions post on the film, I liked it. I thought it was a ve read more
THE HATEFUL EIGHT Original Soundtrack On Vinyl
The Hitless Wonder Movie Blog Posted by Dan Day Jr. on Dec 22, 2015
One of the trendiest things going on today is the buying, selling, and collecting of vinyl records. If you are a major film buff who enjoys listening to movie soundtracks, chances are you have had a sizable record collection for years. The main reason for that is many original film soundtracks are o read more
STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS--First Impressions (No Spoilers)
The Hitless Wonder Movie Blog Posted by Dan Day Jr. on Dec 18, 2015
I went and saw STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS last night. There's all sorts of things I want to say about this movie, and all sorts of story theories I'd like to share with you....but I realize that many of you have not seen the film yet, so I'm not going to totally delve into it until about a week fr read more
CREED
The Hitless Wonder Movie Blog Posted by Dan Day Jr. on Dec 13, 2015
A lot of people find it easy to make fun of Sylvester Stallone, but the man is a pop-culture icon. He has been a part of three different highly successful film franchises, and not just as an actor--he's also written and/or directed entries in each of those three series.
His greatest work has to be read more
ATTACK OF THE CLONES
The Hitless Wonder Movie Blog Posted by Dan Day Jr. on Dec 9, 2015
ATTACK OF THE CLONES is a better film than THE PHANTOM MENACE, but that's not really saying much. The second film in the Star Wars prequel trilogy has plenty of problems, the biggest being that it is essentially supposed to represent the love story between Anakin Skywalker and Padme Amidala. The las read more
THE PHANTOM MENACE
The Hitless Wonder Movie Blog Posted by Dan Day Jr. on Dec 5, 2015
With opening day for STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS fast approaching, I've decided to go ahead and do a series of posts on the Star Wars prequels. This is an idea that I have been mulling around in my head for a while, and a number of people have told me that it is an idea that I should follow through read more
More ROCKY Spin-offs We'd Like To See
The Hitless Wonder Movie Blog Posted by Dan Day Jr. on Dec 1, 2015
The latest entry in the Rocky Balboa saga, CREED, is getting critical acclaim and doing very well at the box office. Apparently the idea of using a relative of a supporting character to continue a film franchise is a good one...so good, in fact, that it gives me some ideas on how the Rocky story can read more
ARMY OF DARKNESS Collector's Edition On Blu-ray
The Hitless Wonder Movie Blog Posted by Dan Day Jr. on Nov 30, 2015
ARMY OF DARKNESS is one of my top 50 favorite movies of all time. Director Sam Raimi's third chapter in his EVIL DEAD film series is a wild, goofy, roller-coaster ride. If I remember correctly, Raimi once said in a Cinefantastique article on ARMY OF DARKNESS that the movie was made for the 12-year o read more
Book Review--STAR WARS: THE ORIGINAL TOPPS TRADING CARD SERIES
The Hitless Wonder Movie Blog Posted by Dan Day Jr. on Nov 29, 2015
If you were a kid back in 1977, chances are you were obsessed with a new film called STAR WARS. And if you were obsessed with STAR WARS, you tried to get as much merchandise from the film as possible. There actually wasn't a whole lot of Star Wars stuff available in 1977 for kids--the Kenner action read more
Pierce Brosnan As James Bond
The Hitless Wonder Movie Blog Posted by Dan Day Jr. on Nov 28, 2015
Pierce Brosnan made a huge impact on the James Bond movie franchise even before he was cast as Bond. As I discussed in my blog posts concerning Timothy Dalton's time as 007 (from October 2012), Brosnan had originally been cast to take over as Bond from Roger Moore, but his contract to the REMINGTON read more
The Criterion Blogathon--THE MOST DANGEROUS GAME
The Hitless Wonder Movie Blog Posted by Dan Day Jr. on Nov 15, 2015
Like most film buffs, I have a fair amount of Criterion releases in my movie collection. According to my personal page on the official Criterion website, I own at least 28 Criterion DVDs or Blu-rays. That might sound impressive, but I know people who own literally hundreds of Criterion titles.
The read more
SPECTRE
The Hitless Wonder Movie Blog Posted by Dan Day Jr. on Nov 11, 2015
I have to admit that I'm still unsure how I feel about SPECTRE, the latest James Bond film. I didn't hate it, but I wasn't blown away by it, either. It's kind of like how I felt about the last Bond movie, SKYFALL. Could it be that I've reached the point where I can't even enjoy a James Bond flick? read more
Swashathon! THE SEA HAWK (1940)
The Hitless Wonder Movie Blog Posted by Dan Day Jr. on Nov 7, 2015
This is my contribution to the Swashathon! blogathon hosted by moviessilently.com.
When you hear the word "swashbuckler", what is the first thing that comes to your mind? I'm sure some of you might say Douglas Fairbanks Jr., but for most folks it would be Errol Flynn. Flynn is to the swashbuckler read more
Roger Moore As James Bond
The Hitless Wonder Movie Blog Posted by Dan Day Jr. on Nov 4, 2015
There is a theory among Doctor Who fans. The theory is that whenever someone starts watching, or discovers Doctor Who, whoever happens to be playing the character at that particular time becomes that person's favorite Doctor. I don't know if that theory works for the James Bond universe, but I do kn read more

The Hitless Wonder Movie Blog Posted by Dan Day Jr. on Oct 31, 2015
One of the most frequently requested titles by film buffs to be released on home video has finally come out from Olive Films. The 1964 horror anthology DR. TERROR'S HOUSE OF HORRORS is now available on Region A Blu-ray and Region One DVD.
(Before I go own, I am well aware that Odeon has released a read more
The Universal Pictures Blogathon--HERE COME THE CO-EDS
The Hitless Wonder Movie Blog Posted by Dan Day Jr. on Oct 29, 2015
This is my contribution to the Universal Pictures Blogathon hosted by Silver Scenes (silverscenesblog.blogspot.com)
Out of all the great Hollywood studios, Universal, by far, is my favorite. That should be no surprise to anyone who has read a few of my blog posts. I am a lifelong classic monster read more
CRIMSON PEAK
The Hitless Wonder Movie Blog Posted by Dan Day Jr. on Oct 26, 2015
Guillermo del Toro is one of the few interesting film directors regularly working today. His latest effort is CRIMSON PEAK, a dark Gothic romance thriller set during the turn of the 20th Century.
Many have consider CRIMSON PEAK to be del Toro's tribute to Hammer Films, since the surname of the lead read more
The Silent Cinema Blogathon--SEVEN CHANCES
The Hitless Wonder Movie Blog Posted by Dan Day Jr. on Oct 24, 2015
Participating in The Silent Cinema Blogathon gives me another chance to express my admiration for the artistry of Buster Keaton. I could have picked any one of Buster's silent titles, but SEVEN CHANCES happens to be a personal favorite of mine.
Last year I wrote a blog post on my five favorite movi read more
BAD MAN'S RIVER On Blu-ray
The Hitless Wonder Movie Blog Posted by Dan Day Jr. on Oct 22, 2015
A couple weeks ago I wrote a blog post on Kino's Blu-ray release of the ultra-weird Lee Van Cleef spaghetti western CAPTAIN APACHE. Today we look at another Kino Van Cleef Blu-ray release--BAD MAN'S RIVER.
Just like CAPTAIN APACHE, this movie has ties to the cult Euro-horror hit HORROR EXPRESS--nam read more
Blu-ray Review--HORROR CLASSICS VOLUME ONE From Warner Bros. Featuring Hammer Films
The Hitless Wonder Movie Blog Posted by Dan Day Jr. on Oct 20, 2015
If you have read even only a few entries on this blog, you'll know that I am a long-time fan of Hammer Films. I belong to a few Hammer groups on Facebook and I try to keep up with anything Hammer-related on the rest of the internet.
One thing I have noticed about Hammer fans on the internet over th read more
