Aviation! Romance! Adventure! Leather jackets! Alcoholism as an adorable character flaw! Fun for all! It lasted only one season on ABC in 1982-3, but Tales of the Gold Monkey has stuck in my brain as one of the predominant inspirations of the television of my childhood. Because it was a cash-in of the box office … more…
What if Raiders of the Lost Ark had been made in the 1950s? From the some wags who brought us the 1954 version of Ghostbusters…
Take a look back at an old trailer… Interesting… this trailer actually features music from the actual score of the movie. That never happens, at least not in recent years. You’ll often hear music from another movie, an older movie, over a trailer for a different film, because trailers are typically cut today before a … more…
If there was a very small child whom I wanted to introduce to the magic of movies, I could do a lot worse than this harmless but rather cute action fantasy…

Who’d have thunk that when I made reference to, in my review of Knowing, “the nitwits who wrote those preposterous Left Behind apocalyptic end-times fantasies,” that it would provoke such outrage? Okay, perhaps I should have known what I was in for. Reader “Todd” … more…
Stanley Fish has, for some reason, been chosen by The New York Times to name “the 10 best American movies”… ever. Fish is “the Davidson-Kahn Distinguished University Professor and a professor of law at Florida International University, in Miami, and dean emeritus of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences at the University of Illinois … more…
Take a break from work: watch a movie trailer… Awesome! It looks like Bryan Singer has a new comic book superhero action movie this Christmas. Excellent! Now, I admit I’m not familiar with the superfriends here, but then, I was never a mega-devoted reader of comic books. They’re a bit older than you usually see … more…
