The Hastings Borough Council in East Sussex has found the ultimately reusable energy source: people. It is the energy version of Soylent Green. The city will be drawing heat from the burning of bodies from crematoriums. The plan will require a £800,000 refit to the crematoriums. It will ultimately not just be used [...]

"You were whipped, major. Burying your dead isn't going to change that." Background Among the many admirers of 'Ride the High Country' was Charlton Heston. He and producer Jerry Bresler were developing a property provisionally entitled 'Then Came the Tiger' - a synopsis by Harry Julian Fink that had all the makings of a full-blooded cavalry epic - for Columbia. Heston and Bresler's previous...

A car bomb that travels across the US-Mexico border is the catalyst that brings Charlton Heston's honest Mexican cop up against the bloated, unshaven spectre of director Orson Welles' corrupt detective in this classic drama. Ticking all the boxes of your quintessential film noir, Touch of Evil presents a menacing, ambiguous world, where there are no easy choices. This is one of the many films after...

One rider of the apocalypse, Revelation promises, is pestilence, and it is from this that Terry Gilliam’s 1995 film 12 Monkeys proceeds. And, speaking of monkeys, what apocalypse would be complete without Planet of the Apes (CLICK BELOW for this second clip)?

djBC writes, "After four years of Christmas collections, and with a 18/mo little girl, I decided it was time to take a stab at a Hanukkah mashup/remix collection. The 8 tunes (8 days, 8 tunes, get it') have a sort of klezmer/traditional Kewish music meets dub/house/pop/hip-hop sort of feel, and the two bonus tracks are for laughs. One high point is Brasilia's FAROFF with his House of Pain vs Amsterdam...

The Omega Man (1971) 8/10 Robert Neville ( Charlton Heston ) is the only survivor of biological war. With the world dying of plague, Neville developed a vaccine too late; and only he was treated. Everyone else is dead or mutated into vampire-like creatures lead by Matthias ( Anthony Zerbe ) that are blinded by daylight. Giving a numeric rating to a cult classic is kind of a fool's game. You know there's...

Today I conclude my brief look at movies I think have made significant contributions to Apocalypse Cinema. The Omega Man. Based on Richad Matheson’s classic I Am Legend, Charlton Heston chows down on scenery as the last man on earth after a weaponized disease wipes out most of humanity, leaving behind only demented survivors bent on [...]

You'd have thought that climatologists would have slunk away into the caves and mud huts they want the rest of us to inhabit as we regress as a civilisation in the supposed goal of reducing global warming from causing some imagined catastrophe or other. This week's exposure of a concerted campaign of deceit highlighted by the rightist genius known as James Delingpole needs to be brought to the attention...

I saw De Carlo when she was a babe in the 1950s and didn't see her as Lily Munster till I saw reruns on TV after I came to the USA. She made 60 movies in the late 1940s and 1950s before doing The Munsters - and I saw most of them as a kid. She was stunningly beautiful. I really loved this lady. Yvonne De Carlo (September 1, 1922 – January 8, 2007) : In her six-decade career, her most prolific...
