DEAD MEN WALK/THE MONSTER MAKER

The Hitless Wonder Movie Blog Posted by Dan Day Jr. on Sep 18, 2013

I have a huge DVD collection, and I'm always on the lookout for movies I don't own, especially if I can get them at a low price. There's a company called Edward R. Hamilton Booksellers that I've ordered a lot of stuff from. They sell discounted books and DVDs, and some of their products are out of p read more

STAR TREK: INTO DARKNESS

The Hitless Wonder Movie Blog Posted by Dan Day Jr. on Sep 17, 2013

I've been making snarky comments about this movie all summer, despite the fact that I hadn't actually seen it. The film recently became available on Xfinity On Demand, so I figured the least I could do was watch it and give it a chance. Besides, I've seen every Star Trek movie, so I figured I might read more

THE FARMER'S WIFE

The Hitless Wonder Movie Blog Posted by Dan Day Jr. on Sep 16, 2013

It's not often I get the chance to say that I've seen an Alfred Hitchcock film for the first time. But that was exactly the case last night as the Turner Classic Movies channel showed THE FARMER'S WIFE (1928). THE FARMER'S WIFE is one of Hitchcock's earliest features as a director, made well before read more

DVD Review: Movies 4 You--More Sci-Fi Classics

The Hitless Wonder Movie Blog Posted by Dan Day Jr. on Sep 14, 2013

Just like the other Movies 4 You collection of low-budget science-fiction films, I bought this off of Amazon for $5. There's no way in the world anyone can call the selections in this second collection classics, unless you're an expert in false advertising. Let's take a look at the films: THE AMAZI read more

DVD Review: Movies 4 You--Sci-Fi Classics

The Hitless Wonder Movie Blog Posted by Dan Day Jr. on Sep 9, 2013

I recently bought this DVD from Amazon for $5. It contains four different low-budget science-fiction films from the 1950s and 60s. Calling them "Sci-Fi Classics" is a very big stretch....there's certainly no FORBIDDEN PLANET or DESTINATION MOON here. However, each film does have various items of int read more

It is considered to be one of director Lubitsch's greatest works, and comedian Jack Benny's best big screen role. It is also the last film ever made by Carole Lombard.

My Ten Favorite Alfred Hitchcock Films

The Hitless Wonder Movie Blog Posted by Dan Day Jr. on Sep 1, 2013

This month the Turner Classic Movies cable channel will be showing numerous films directed by Alfred Hitchcock. I own just about every Hitchcock movie on DVD, so this tribute doesn't excite me as much as it would have when I was just starting out as a movie buff. But it did get me thinking about wha read more

ONLY THE LONELY

The Hitless Wonder Movie Blog Posted by Dan Day Jr. on Aug 25, 2013

Last week was the 93rd birthday of one of the few real living screen legends, Maureen O'Hara. I was thinking about writing a blog post about one of her films, but I couldn't decide which. I didn't want to pick one of her more famous roles, such as the ones she played for John Ford. I decided to pick read more
