Millennium, 1989 - Ambitious time travel tale with a very unappealing future.

Despite some ill-placed future world "humor", I like this film.  It would make a delightful offering as an in-flight movie.

Watched 'The Girl with All the Gifts' the other night. A decent modern zombie/infected movie with a twist.

I enjoyed it; however, I would have enjoyed it quite more had Tom Cruise had not been in it. It was a nice idea to start the Dark Universe here with nods to the Gill Man and the Count and Russell Crowe made a great Dr.Jekyll and Hyde. I just wish it was someone else but Cruise; one of the more overexposed stars today.  I dont relish the fact that they left the door open to make him some kind of superhero who will defeat the monsters eventually. Weak idea and very lame casting.

 Hellhole - Nothing to do with the classic Spinal Tap song. A mental institution filled with hot babes conducts deadly experiments. Shower fights, hot tub sex, and 80s starlets (cameo by Dyanne Thorne) make this fairly enjoyable. Nudity? Of course!

Hush... Hush, Sweet Charlotte, 1964 - Psychological horror follow-up (not sequel) to "Whatever Happened To Baby Jane?".

Oddly compelling thriller, considering all of its many problems - not the least of which is the absence of Joan Crawford.  Joan actually filmed the majority of her role but had to be replaced with Olivia De Havilland (who will turn 101 on July 1st) late in the production.  I sure wish we had the Crawford footage in the Blu-Ray extras.

Cast composed of Hollywood heavyweights.  Agnes Moorehead's portrayal of "Velma" must be seen to be believed.

Adam, your screen picture is my favorite. I don't know why, but it really captures the definitive monsterkid look.

That was just me in the Summer of 1957, when I was 10.  I was not only was the exact age of the kids in "Stand By Me" when their story took place, I was a ringer for Vern - and just as clueless. 

In 1957 theaters were showing Universal Sci-Fi for most of the kids' weekend matinees.  A few months after this photo was taken, The Universal Monster Package hit TV, two weeks before my 11th birthday.  Sweet times.

The picture was taken by an orange grove.  My parents took an aunt of mine from Arkansas out to see some of our famous California orange trees.  We were both in the picture before I cropped it. 

I remember Orange County before Disneyland was built.  Nothing but oranges as far as the eye could see.  When they were all in bloom at the same time, the sweet smelling blossoms could knock you off your feet!
