Ahoy, squirts! here with today’s installment of A Movie A Day.[For those now joining us, A Movie A Day is my attempt at filling in gaps in my film knowledge.

Each day I’ll pull a previously unseen film from my collection or from my DVR and discuss it here. Each movie will have some...

Exorcist: The Beginning (2004)

Should I see it? No. Short Review: The scariest thing about this horror movie is that it was released. To be fair, this film had one hard time getting made. The project began with John Frankenheimer as director. He died in 2002. Then Paul Schrader (yes, they actually handed it over to the screenwriter of The Last Temptation of Christ ) took over and was canned. Finally, the producers, having shown...

Ronin: the series?

The spies-turned-mercenaries of the slick action flick RONIN may be blasting their way to your hi-def set -- a series based on the 1998 Robert DeNiro/Jean Reno movie from director John Frankenheimer is now in the works. MGM is working on bringing the car chases and gunfights to the small screen. The show (being co-produced by the BBC) will be "reconfigured" from the movie, but will presumably still...

A very hot Jessica Walter, a very cold NBC, a Televisory and free ponies!

No, there's no free pony for anyone. I just put that in there. But boy, the TV news doesn't stop - even when I want it to. For example, if you haven't noticed yet (and I'll certainly write more on this later since failure analysis is really what I do), NBC is totally imploding . Most (all') of...

Frankenheimer Trailers

John Frankenheimer was one of the great black & white directors - in fact, I took his advice from an interview with him I saw once and checked out some of his cheesy eighties pulp like 52 Pick-Up with Roy Scheider and Dead Bang with Don Johnson but I turned the colour off on my TV; he said they were much better viewed in monochrome and yes, they are. He was also the master of the DVD director's commentary...

Watch With Boyo II

Continuing Ordovicius 's challenge to programme twelve nights of cinematic salubrity: Fifth Night: Seven Days in May Shakespeare was a bald-headed Brummie , but if he had been alive and employed as John Frankenheimer's scriptwriter in the 1960s, he would have given us this film. A troubled king of a divided his realm, a military leader scheming in the wings, an officer torn by loyalties, a woman ill-used,...
