For those of you questioning the need for another "Boston Strangler" movie when Richard Fleischer did such a bang-up job with his 1968 feature (), here's Hurd to UGO's intrepid movie blogger,...

Lady Warnock, a former headmistress who went on to become Britain's leading moral philosopher, insisted there was "nothing wrong" with people being helped to die for the sake of their loved ones or society.

1966 theatrical release poster. Since as far back as I can remember I have loved science fiction stories, and one of my early favorites is the exquisite FANTASTIC VOYAGE, directed by Richard Fleischer, a guy whose career couldn't have yielded a more diverse filmography if he intended it to. Think about it: Fleischer also helmed 20,000 LEAGUES UNDER THE SEA (1954), THE VIKINGS (1958), DOCTOR DOOLITTLE...

Ain't love grand? While I do secretly enjoy director Richard Fleischer's goofy 1985 adventure epic Red Sonja more than I probably should, I'm not entirely opposed to the idea of a remake, especially when the redux finds Rose McGowan in the lead role and Robert Rodriguez producing the whole sordid affair.
