Flesh And Blood Show As I pour thru the collected works of director Pete Walker and his continued demonstrations of how NOT to make a British horror movie, I was struck by the fact that this film actually had a not-so-bad screenplay and concept, however Walker’s stodgy style of directing drags it down to the […]

Fletch The legend of Chevy Chase began in 1975 when he became the breakout star during the inaugural run of Saturday Night Live, outshining John Belushi and the rest of the roster with his smooth, cocky, yet bumbling demeanor and almost overnight gained a legion of fans that would follow him wherever he would go, […]

The Fly ‘58 The 1950s was definitely the era of the “big” monster horror movies, due in many ways to the rapid advancements in makeup FX technology and fueled mainly by cold war paranoia which subsequently saw many of these creatures having been created through the means of atomic radiation accidents.

This viewer knew he was in trouble early here, with John Houseman’s showy cameo […]

For A Few Dollars More The second installment in the legendary Man With No Name Trilogy from 1965 is one that quickly redeems the flaws of the first film, A Fistful Of Dollars, where Clint Eastwood in his iconic role was set adrift in a sea of cardboard characters and a recycled story. For this […]
