It's time another edition of TV Rebels. We originally had special permission to publish the first 6 essays on TV shows and actors that will be featured in the upcoming book TV Rebels: 100 People and Programs That Shaped the Medium by authors Lou Orfanella and Oscar De Los Santos...and then last year we got rights to 6 additional essays (for a total of 12!), so including today's essay, only two
Turner Classic Movies has been devoting each Wednesday in the month of November to celebrating the genius that is songwriter Johnny Mercer with both a wonderful special ( Johnny Mercer: The Dream’s on Me ) and movies with songs written by Savannah’s favorite native son. This past Wednesday (November 18) was particularly noteworthy in that it was the actual centennial of Mercer’s birth,...
I freely admit I forgot about Nick Cave. And Geoff Tate, in case the title threw anybody off. ---------- New Moon hits theaters this week, and even though the trailers alone have us ready to put it on our "Worst of 2009" lists ("Jake! NOOOO!"), there's no denying the movie is going to make more money than an underaged prostitute at a Promise Keeper convention. Midnight screenings...
This ability to make art on a murderously short shooting schedule with no money and reused sets (or cleverly-shot practical locations) was passed on by Corman to his most adroit proteges: Dante had a low-budget, homage-heavy blast with PIRANHA; Cameron willed a sci-fi classic out of next-to-nothing in THE TERMINATOR; and Peter Bogdanovich used two contract-mandated days of Boris Karloff to pull off...
Last night we watched the 1932 Boris Karloff film classic from Universal Pictures, The Mummy, I borrowed it from the library. Great, great film. And great research material for me, given my interest in spicing up the plot of Jim and the Flims with some Egyptian spells and a mummy. In the first [...]
Frankensteinia is sponsoring a Boris Karloff Blog-A-Thon in honor of the actor's 122nd birthday and Cool-Mo-Dee will be joining in the celebration by devoting the entire week of November 23 to November 29 to this horror master. Hopefully Sarah (his daughter) won't sue all of us between now and then! Frankensteinia blog
To celebrate the launch of their amazing new book The Gospel of Filth, Cradle of Filth frontman Dani Filth and occult writer Gavin Baddeley will be appearing at London's Hammersmith Riverside...
Early this morning, ComingSoon.net/ShockTillYouDrop.com had a chance to talk to director James McTeigue ( V For Vendetta ) about his gory action-thriller Ninja Assassin . Being that the movie was shot well over a year ago, McTeigue is already well into development on his next project, called The Raven , which isn't in fact a literal adaptation of Edgar Allan Poe's classic short story which spawned...
Here be beasts and monsters! It's Son of Kong with Robert Armstrong, Murders in the Zoo with Lionel Atwill, and three fruits of a pre-Halloween Boris Karloff marathon: Behind the Mask (with the wonderful Edward Van Sloan), The Man They Could Not Hang , and The Ape . I'll also include Douglas Fairbanks Jr. in Sinbad the Sailor , because I liked it inordinately I was supposed to get it last month, even...
Stayed up late the other night to watch this 1967 horror classic by Michael Reeves and starring Boris Karloff...The old couple in the film have a large dresser full of Willow Pattern...watch this segment on YouTube – the plates appear about 9 minutes in! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b7cg6JZ04ZA
I love old horror movies, really old ones, the old black and white flicks with people like Boris Karloff. I’m sure people will have seen some of the original Frankenstein movies. Quite often there are scenes of indignant mobs out with flaming torches, hunting down the monster. But that’s so old-fashioned, don’t you agree. The mob is still with us of course, but it has long since lost...
---How you can tell that Charles Bronson is a man. ---Recommended reading: Farber on Film : The Complete Film Writings of Manny Farber , edited by Robert Polito. In a review of the new book, Howard Hampton notes some surprising aspects of Farber's critical method: "1) The notion of what movie to see and what to avoid is secondary to opening up new ways of looking at the familiar and the overlooked....
It’s been a bit of a monster-fest around here lately. I promise to write something about Bela Tarr, and a piece on Shinoda’s Double Suicide will follow shortly. In the meantime, let’s all enjoy the spectacle of Boris Karloff hanging out with a family (does anybody know who they are?) on the set of 1939’s [...]
By Blanca Snow For a long time we have used the video store as one of our main ways to access movies. These days you can stay at home and get movies from a movie download site. Below is a sample of some of the movies you can find using movie download sites. The Last Run: Average story of aging gangland driver who has to make one more run for his self image. Incredible photography shot by Sven Nykvist....
I SELL THE DEAD is the fright flick for you. The movie follows a couple of grave robbers in the 19th century named Arthur Blake and Willie Grimes. Justice has finally caught up with them and they are going to be punished for their crimes. Before the young Arthur Blake is about to get his head sliced off by the guillotine he is visited by a clergyman named father Duffy. It is in this interaction that
