Invasion of the Body Snatchers Director: Don Siegel Screenplay: Daniel Mainwaring Minutes: 80 Year: 1956 Score: 6.67 Release: Olive Signature It seems passé but I have to thank Olive Signature for another great release. I have only ever watched the Philip Kaufman remake; for a lack of trying, not interest. Right or wrong it is […]

31 Days of Halloween – The Gates of Hell Trilogy

This may be the goopiest film trilogy you can watch. Three from Lucio Fulci is perhaps best know for Zombi 2, an unofficial sequel to George A.

The Swimmer Director: Frank Perry Screenplay: Eleanor Perry Minutes: 95 Year: 1968 Score: 8.13 Release: Grindhouse Releasing When I was growing up I always thought that forty was the age to be considered Over the Hill, recently I was told that it is fifty, but I suspect this is on my mind because I am […]

Supergirl Director: Jeannot Szwarc Screenplay: David Odell Minutes: 124 Year: 1984 Score: 6.67 Release: Warner Archive Collection Here’s the thing, the movie is goofy, a little uneven, and cute, I enjoyed this movie, but there is a huge problem but is not the movies fault.
