MOVIE OF THE WEEK
Minority Report (2002)
In 2054, an experimental Washington, D.C. police force called Precrime has cut crime in the city by 90%.

Phantom of the Opera
1925’s Phantom of the Opera, starring Lon Chaney – the man of a thousand faces – as the Phantom.
Classic.
Gargantua
1998. Hmmm. Pacific Island, check. Giant reptile, check. Giant reptile baby, check. Hapless main character(s), check. License to use Gojira name…license to use….dammit! Fire the licensing department! Tear up the artwork and DO NOT start filming the titles.
Hosted by Fancast.
THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW
1975. Richard O’Briens cult classic. Shiver with antici (SAY IT!) pation!
Don’t know how long this is going to be a good link, and the quality of the image leaves a bit to be desired, but it is RHPS and a chance to watch it online.
My rating? Four out of four freakin stars
DAWN OF THE DEAD
George A. Romero does zombies in living color! (And with a cast that has some recognizable names too!)
From 1978. Hosted by Hulu and embedded right here for your Saturday horror pleasure.
THE WAR OF THE WORLDS for a SCIENCE FICTION HALLOWEEN
111 Years ago: It is 1898 and the Martians have landed on Horsell Common, near Woking, in England. The events of those days were witnessed and recorded by a man named Herbert George Wells.
71 Years ago: It is 1938 and the Martians have landed once again in the town of Grover’s Mill, New Jersey. [...]
Queen of Blood
1966. Queen of Blood. Or Planet of Vampires (and about a dozen other titles as well).
This one is a treat though, as it stars not only John Saxon AND Basil Rathbone but ALSO Dennis Hopper!
And Judi Meredith.
Pure B level exploitation. Doesn’t get any better than this. (Actually, it does, but heck, we’re talking late 60’s [...]
Gonzo For Godzilla (and Mothra Too)
The Godzilla franchise has been going since the 50’s with 1954’s Gojira and hasn’t looked back since.
Born of the nuclear age, Godzilla reigns as a king of the giant monsters.
Crackle.com has quite a nice round-up (though not the very first film), as well as a good collection of the first version of the “mothman prophecies” [...]
Frau Im Mond
Woman in the Moon, Fritz Lang’s 1929 classic! Written, produced and directed by essentially the same team that brought us Metropolis, Frau was quite technically correct for its time:
The Green Hornet & The Green Hornet Strikes Again!
The Green Hornet began as a radio show and then was produced as two serials in the early 1940s. It was later made into a television show featuring Bruce Lee as Kato. Included below is Bruce’s screen test for the show.
Both series, The Green Hornet and The Green Hornet Strikes Again! are presented in [...]
