Conquest of a Franchise, or, "Humans see, Humans do"

I'm considering going to KINGDOM of the pLANET of the ApES this week but, if I do, it will be purely perfunctory yield. I was a child during the original releases of the first five films, so motion-capture technology cannot recapture those early years of the franchise for me... They looked so good: ...

T C M's screening of " THE FIRST AUTO " last night reminded me of the Riverside International Raceway as Charles Emmett Mack is said to have been killed in an automobile accident enroute to a Riverside racetrack during filming of the 1927 movie. I wondered if there was going to be expoundi...

Re: Coming up on TCM...

I found this in a review for the VHS version of Bugsy Malone : "The film was released in late 1976 to positive reviews. It currently holds a score of 82% on Rotten Tomatoes. Despite the positive critical reception, Bugsy Malone was not a commercial success in the US, bringing in just over $2.7...

Re: Monkey Man and the Evolution of Dev Patel

I saw Monkey Man this week. Although I had read a bit about it, I wasn't quite prepared for the violence. The level of blood and gore in the film would even impress Fuad Ramses! But it's more in the line of Bruce Lee. The film has been called a "gory coming out party for Patel." A skinny ...

Re: MUSINGS, PONDERINGS, RUMINATIONS AND FANCIES

I love Lana Turner's white lampshade chapeau in BACHELOR IN PARADISE. Still waiting for CALL ME BWANA. Bachelor in Paradise is one of the better 60s Bob Hope films because it is genuinely funny. He and Lana made a good pair here, and of course Paula Prentiss was her usual professional self. For tho...
