Marty is a movie that should be known by more people, simply because it beautifully tells a story that everyone can relate to. Marty (Ernest Borgnine, known to the younger crowd as the voice of Mermaid Man from SpongeBob SquarePants), an average Joe butcher, is the last in his family to be single, which...
Nosferatu is considered the grandfather of the modern vampire film, and rightfully so. This classic stil stands up against the test of time, all thanks to the frightfully realistic acting of Max Schreck as the Graf Olof/Dracula. The film, based on the book by Bram Stoker (which is a good read, by the way),...
By guest poster LM Preston from lmpreston.blogspot.com and lmpreston.com Let’s just say my kids dragged me to this one. All but three of the four actually read the book. The movie was most enjoyed by my 13yr old, who gave it the highest ranking. Poor Greg never, ever seems to get a break. The movie is...
Written by Mark Trammell, movie critic for UAB’s school newspaper, Kaleidoscope When I was a kid, a local theatre used to have these children film festivals and I lived right down the street, so I would go all the time during the summer. One fateful week, they had a Ray Harryhausen film festival, and...
The Big Sleep is known as one of the greatest Film Noir films ever (whether or not you agree that it is actually supposed to be in the Noir category). But, oddly enough, one of the reasons why it’s so great is because the plot is so crazy. To summarize the movie, The Big...
By guest poster Ami Hendrickson from www.amihendrickson.com, www.museink.com, and http://museinks.blogspot.com Anyone watching Throw Momma From the Train has to sympathize with writing teachers everywhere when subjected to the dreck the members of Billy Crystal’s class produce. (Ya gotta love Mrs. Hazeltine’s contribution to literature-“‘Dive… DIVE’,yelled the captain through the thing. So the captain pressed...
Robert Rodriguez is not only tied to a live-action The Jetsons project, but seems really excited about it. He’s a popular director, but will that translate into a great movie? Perhaps if he learns from another Hanna-Barbera cartoon-turned-blockbuster, The Flintstones. This film, directed by Brian Levant, was not only entertaining, but high grossing at...
By guest poster LM Preston from lmpreston.blogspot.com and lmpreston.com Repo Men This movie was on my must-see list. Why? Because as a science fiction author I love science fiction movies. I loved the concept of this sick tale of repo men coming to take back organs. It had potential to be a good movie....
Chris Evans has been cast as Captain America, and some people are scared, no thanks to The Fantastic Four series. Even if Evans succeeds as Captain America, he will probably join the ranks of the oddly-cast actors and actresses for coveted roles. Here’s a few who also make the list. Heath Ledger as the...
Diary of a Wimpy Kid has taken off at the box office and is proving once again that wimps are box-office gold. Most of our favorite characters are wimps. Milo Thatch, Atlantis, the Lost Empire Disney doesn’t typically create wimps as leading roles-generally, the wimps are in the sidekick category-but Milo Thatch is the...
Clash of the Titans is about to come to theaters April 2 (and the 1981 version is out for download on iTunes), probably signaling a revived interest in classical Greek characters and stories. Will new-school Titans go down as a classic among the other Greek stories that have graced Hollywood? Here’s a list of...
It came to most readers as a surprise. Draco and Myrtle…friends?! Even if you can use the word “friends” loosely when dealing with a ghost, Draco did confide more in Myrtle than he did his friends and probably even his parents during the toughest part of his young life. But why would he confide...
