Phantom Stranger

"The Mummy" (1959)
                       -Peter Cushing, Christopher Lee

Plot: IMDB:   In the 1890s a team of British archaeologists discover the untouched tomb of Princess Ananka but accidentally bring the mummified body of her High Priest back to life. Three years later back in England a follower of the same Egyptian religion unleashes the mummy to exact grisly revenge on the despoilers of the sacred past.

Phantom's Review: My personal favorite "Mummy" movie. A little more fast paced than the Karloff classic, but not an "Indiana Jones" style movie like the Brendan Frasier version. Good FX and make up. Stylish sets and costumes (of course, it's Hammer Films) and fine acting from the cast.
A highly entertaining movie.

I hate to advocate drugs, alcohol, violence, or insanity to anyone, but they've always worked for me.

Jeepers Creepers 1&2  Liked the first one best.  Just enough of a difference to be interesting.  Second one had some flaws.

Watched I'm King Kong! The Exploits of Merian C. Cooper and RKO Production 601: The Making of Kong, Eighth Wonder of the World both docs are included in the King Kong dvd tin-set.  I found the Merian C. Cooper one really interesting, he was quite a character; The Kong one was cool but some of it rehashed stuff from the Cooper doc., I thought the stuff Peter Jackson/WETA did recreating the lost Spider Pit sequence was pretty cool but I could see how some people wouldn't really dig on this "What if?" type thing.

Mighty Joe Young

Also been rewatching the Spider-man trilogy with the girls, they started playing a Spider-man video game on my old PS2 and when I told them I had the movies they were down for it.  As I watch them again I realize just how close Raimi kept to the comics even with changing some of the lore.  The films also kept some of that 70's vibe from the old cartoons, that many of us Spidey fans grew up with, while still keeping a serious/dramatic tone to the proceedings.  Hard to believe that they are already turning around and rebooting this franchise, I really don't see anything wrong/dated about Raimi's films whatsoever!?!

More a thriller than horror, but Nancy and I just watched "Revenge" (TV movie, 1971).

Shelley Winters plays a woman who kidnaps, chains, and cages (in her dark, dank Victorian cellar) a man who she thinks knocked up, then abandoned, her daughter.

Winters is at her best when she's playing the unhinged/psychotic/evil.........and she's at her best here. A terrific performance here by the 2 time Oscar winner, a solid supporting cast, and a few twists in the story to keep you guessing.

Watching this just underscores the dearth of great made-for-TV movies today. 8 bananas.
We're all here because we're not all there.
