On another thread (best movies of all time or something similar) I put forward the film 'Soylent Green' for consideration. I do not necessarily think it is the best ever but it is certainly a very commendable piece of work. Anyway, it is on TCM 2 this Friday and I would be most grateful for the Word massive to cast a critical eye over it. It is a dystopian vision of the year 2022 and unlike some future...

It has just come to my attention that William Ham , who I like to think of as the writer I might have been if God liked me more, has some new record reviews up. You have to scroll down for it, but this bounty includes his definitive capsule history of Jobriath . Anything Ham writes is worth your time, but finding out that he's spent a few words on Jobriath is like finding out that they just went through...

You kids today, with your Marvel Studios and your top-notch directors. Many of you are too young to remember just what ugly treatments comic books received in the 1980s and 1990s. Oh sure, there was Tim Burton's Batman , but treatments like David Hasselhoff's Nick Fury: Agent of SHIELD were the norm. When a Thor movie was kicked around, the only requirement was muscles and blonde hair. In the 1990s,...

Halloween is approaching, and one of the things I like to do around Halloween is watch Vincent Price. As it happens, Hulu.com has some Vincent Price movies available online for free, and there are three you should see if you haven't. (1) The Last Man on Earth . This movie stands up remarkably well, due in part to Price's excellent acting and to the understated and quiet way in which it goes about its...

The author of more than 70 books, including four different detective series, Stuart Kaminsky, who has died aged 75, wrote in the tradition of the pulp wordsmiths. His first series, featuring the shabby private eye Toby Peters, was set in 1940s Hollywood and reflected that era's light-hearted, fast-paced crime stories. Kaminsky came to detective fiction from academia, but the ease of his prose was...

While it’s not H1N1, I do have a bad chest cold, so I was down all day Sunday. I missed church, which meant that happened twice this month. Highly unusual. So I kick off this Monday morning with a variety of musings, the first being health related… Think Charlton Heston in The Omega Man: The federal government [...] This feed is from Cerulean Sanctum (http://ceruleansanctum.com), a blog...

By Debra F Nelson Disappeared are the days when you had to linger in line at a video store and trust that the film that you desired was in. Finished are the days of worrying about getting the motion picture back to the store on time to dodge late fees. Right now you can get unabridged, first-class movies at a portion of the charge you used to pay and you can even do it right in the retreat and coziness...
