A somewhat odd moment in the history of the Republic of Korea Navy (ROKN) is evident in the relationship between Gearing class destroyers and Super Lynx helicopters. The American destroyers were built during World War II for the United States Navy (USN), second-hand versions of which were handed over to the ROKN during the early 1980's.

1. Max Schreck in F W Murnau's Nosferatu (1922) For sheer, pestilent malice, Max Schreck's hollow-cheeked, bald vampire, below, reigns supreme. "It was as if a chilly draught from doomsday had passed through Nosferatu," wrote the Hungarian critic Bela Balazs. There is no attempt to give Nosferatu depth or to try to make him sympathetic, a victim of his deprived Carpathian upbringing. He is utterly...

Oh Dad! A Search for Robert Mitchum is not your conventional biography. In fact, it is not actually a biography at all. This is no objective account of the life and times of a Hollywood icon but rather a subjective quest for a definition of masculinity. In fact, this book is as much about Lloyd Robson as it is about Robert Mitchum . The actor - a paradigm of machismo - serves as a link between the...

Highly Recommended Considering that it's got a screenplay by Sam Peckinpah ( The Wild Bunch ) and Robert Towne ( Chinatown ) and stars Yul Brynner, Robert Mitchum, and Charles Bronson, you'd think Paramount Home Video would be anxious to crank out a deluxe Special Edition DVD of Villa Rides (1968) instead of relegating it to a no-frills subsidiary release through Legend Films. Though it falls short...

In 1971, when a script called Dead Right landed in Clint Eastwood's hands, it was one step from the Hollywood graveyard. Steve McQueen had turned it down, as had Paul Newman. Frank Sinatra, well past his cinematic prime, stepped in then dropped out. Burt Lancaster passed, and so did Robert Mitchum, who later explained that he wasn't "a complete whore. … There are movies I won't do for any amount. …...
