CINEMA RETRO #26
The Hitless Wonder Movie Blog Posted by Dan Day Jr. on Jun 2, 2013
It's rather obvious that print media is not in the best of condition. A number of newspapers and magazines have gone to an all-digital format. It wasn't that long ago that film buffs had a huge number of interesting publications to choose from, but those are becoming fewer and fewer.

Five Underrated Clint Eastwood Movies
The Hitless Wonder Movie Blog Posted by Dan Day Jr. on May 31, 2013
Last night Turner Classic Movies debuted a documentary on Clint Eastwood's movie directing career. It was made by film critic Richard Schickel, a biographer and personal friend of Eastwood. The documentary was okay, but I was kind of disappointed on how most of Eastwood's work in the 70s and 80s was read more

The Peter Cushing Centenary
The Hitless Wonder Movie Blog Posted by Dan Day Jr. on May 25, 2013
On May 26, 1913, Peter Wilton Cushing was born in Kenley, Surrey, England. If you have been reading any of my posts, you're probably aware that Peter Cushing is my favorite actor of all time. There was something about the man, and his work in the cinema of the fantastic, that sparked my imagination. read more

Why Do You Watch All Those Dumb Old Movies?
The Hitless Wonder Movie Blog Posted by Dan Day Jr. on May 22, 2013
The question that is the title of this post has been asked of me numerous times. It is usually followed by something like "Aren't you too young to get into that stuff?"
First of all, the idea that age, or economic background, or social status, precludes you from involving yourself in a certain acti read more

EL MONSTRUO RESUCITADO
The Hitless Wonder Movie Blog Posted by Dan Day Jr. on May 15, 2013
One of the great things about being a film buff is that you are always making discoveries. No one can watch EVERY movie ever made (unless you're independently wealthy and you've got nothing else better to do). I've seen plenty of old monster movies, but there's still a few I haven't gotten to yet. read more
