  • A nice spoof of THE THIRD MAN from 1986 with the great Robbie Coltrane doing a spot-on Orson Welles. :))
  • In honor of the 82nd anniversary of its’ world premiere (May 1, 1941), I watched CITIZEN KANE for about the 50th time! Since I can’t possibly add anything to the mountain of literature that has already been written about this film, I’ll just add tha…

  • I just did a quick check on Amazon.com.uk @Fire_and_Ice_Returns and the number of Godzilla films available in the UK is even smaller than I thought. Your only real alternative is to import the region 1 DVDs from the US and purchase a region-free pla…

  • I hope you had a enjoyable watch @ToTheRight, but I’m still stuck on the image of Stefanie “April Dancer” Powers being in this movie. :x Here is a bit a trivia that may get you a free beer someday. Ms. Powers was once married to actor Gary Lo…
  • A nice one @ToTheRight! :D Keeping my fingers crossed that your DVD arrives in short order and is playable (I think that was one of Lana Turner's final films at MGM).
