A Universal Problem
The Hitless Wonder Movie Blog Posted by Dan Day Jr. on Jun 25, 2014
The above picture is a DVD box set that Universal will be releasing later on this year. Is this great news for monster fans? Well, yeah, if you don't have any of these movies on home video.

The Hitless Wonder Movie Blog Posted by Dan Day Jr. on Jun 23, 2014
If you been reading this blog, you'll know how much I enjoy the animated adaptations of the DC Comics Universe.

Book Review: WORLD FILM LOCATIONS--CHICAGO
The Hitless Wonder Movie Blog Posted by Dan Day Jr. on Jun 17, 2014
The city of Chicago, Illinois has been featured in hundreds of theatrical films. There's no other big city that looks (or feels) like Chicago. You can't fake Chicago--although that hasn't stopped a number of producers and directors from trying in recent years.

THE SHADOW OF THE CAT On Svengoolie
The Hitless Wonder Movie Blog Posted by Dan Day Jr. on Jun 8, 2014
As anyone who has read this blog knows, I'm a huge fan of Hammer Films. I haven't seen ALL of Hammer's output--there's a few still out there that I haven't gotten to for one reason or another.
One of those few was THE SHADOW OF THE CAT (1960). Last night it was featured on MeTV's Svengoolie progra read more
