Her psycho biddy movies aside (thank you, Mill Creek :)) of course, Green Slime and Black Scorpion would outsell Crawford's "classics". And I'm sure Gorilla At Large would be a huge seller for TT. My point was that those who denigrate films like Scorpion, Slime and Gorilla as beneath TT's or the...
Glad to see I'm not alone in my appreciation, Robin. But regarding Sunday In The Country I think you have me confused with someone else as I've never seen the Borgnine film. Was it released under another title? I did talk about A Sunday In The Country but that was the 1984 Bertrand Tavernier...
If what they are releasing is "bottom of the barrel", please give me more of it! Recent offerings like No Down Payment, My Sister Eileen, Revolt Of Mamie Stover, Blue Denim, Hilda Crane and My Gal Sal have been on my wish list for years and to have my wishes granted when I truly suspected I'd...
I'd agree with the assessment that it did seem out of sync with other (more topical) films of that year like Five Easy Pieces, MASH, Little Big Man, Zabriskie Point, Woodstock, Performance, Catch 22, Where's Poppa? etc. But on the other hand, Patton and Airport were huge hits and they were just...
I absolutely love Ryan's Daughter and disagreed with Kael's appraisal of it. But as much as I admire David Lean, c'mon, negative reviews are part of the game when you're a film maker so it's unfair to blame his 14 year absence on Kael's so called "power". And without Kael championing them, some...
I enjoy Genghis Khan moderately enough to own it on DVD but not enough to upgrade to blu ray though if it pops up at $9.99 at some TT sale I might bite as I did with Secret Of Santa Vittoria, another film I like well enough but don't love. So I'm not the one to come to Khan's defense :). I...
Maltin is a movie reviewer and not a film critic (there is a difference) and he also gave one and a half stars to the original Blade Runner (which makes it equal to Genghis Khan in Maltin's opinion) and a mere two stars to Taxi Driver. For what it's worth :)
Ah, the 1950s, where everything had to be cleaned up to protect the morals of movie audiences but not book readers apparently :)The prostitutes of the novel (like From Here To Eternity's journey from page to screen) in Revolt Of Mamie Stover are made over into dance hostesses (apparently a 1950s...
Yes! Finally The Revolt Of Mamie Stover! I'm all over that one! I have the Spanish DVD (and no, it's not a bootleg, it's licensed from Fox) and the transfer was excellent except for non removable Spanish subtitles so the TT blu should be impressive. I'm happy with my Genghis Khan DVD and the...
