Reviewed this one about a month ago. It's all right but I found the version made in 38/39 with Errol Flynn and David Niven to be superior. Still not too bad though....

It took me three years and multiple applications of a smoke odor remover for me to get years of tar and nicotine out of my one and only Langlitz. It's practically smell free but the previous owner/seller never disclosed that it was worn by a smoker. Everyone in my family smoked growing up BUT...
"The Crawling Eye" - This one scared the crap out of me as a kid... even though I never saw the whole thing till I was an adult. Good cheesy FX for it's time. Solid performances all round too. You don't see the monster until the final reel and I think that helps... Great popcorn muncher and...
Just watched it over two nights.... that gives you some idea how long this movie is. It's amazing how much lead can be sprayed in one persons direction and he never gets shot in the FACE! Dark, brooding... sometimes boring (Puddin' fell asleep during the first viewing and snored some during...
Puddin' is thoroughly entranced with "The Last Kingdom". I didn't get into it, but hearing it from the man cave it sounds like "Game of Thrones" on steroids. Rape, ravage and ruin! Battles all the time betrayals, murder you name it. Sheeya.... Ain't we got enough of that going on in real...
Well FF, given your penchant for thorough and outstanding reviews, I'd love to see your comparison of the three films.
As for you Mr. Strange.... Stop messing with my memory! You're right, I think the first episode of "The Time Tunnel" featured the sinking of the Titanic. Didn't know that...
I love "A Night to Remember" and, except for some special effects, prefer it over the Cameron take. It is not my favorite telling of that fateful night however. That honor goes to "Titanic" (1953) which features the sterling performances of Clifford Webb and Barbara Stanwick as a wealthy...
I first became aware of him from "How to Get Ahead in Business (without really trying). I still break out in "Seven and a Half Cents!" from time to time.

"From" - Wow.... Another "strange" one on Epix/Amazon Prime. Simple premise (thus far).... there's a town, you drive in, you can't drive out! No matter how often you drive through town or reverse course you wind up right back in the middle of town. IIRC there was a Warner Bros. cartoon with...
Glad you found something that works... even if it's temporary. Most of my jackets are pretty quiet except that one dang GoodWear. Walking, driving, moving in my seat, you name it it's a squeaking! May have to take measures!

Went to a wake for a former coworker yesterday... Weather was a little wonky. Everything from fog to hail so I decided to wear my Howard Hughes outfit since the guy that died was a pilot of sorts. Good Wear Capeskin AI "Grail Jacket", vintage Dobbs fedora, slacks, shirt and tie.

"Raised by Wolves - Season 2" - Fascinating and confusing as hell all at the same time. One episode left. I hate shows that raise more questions than they answer (Lost) but I'm sometimes drawn to them as well. Arrrgh!

Of the two I prefer Rio Bravo. I think there are enough changes and quirks to keep the whole film from descending into a "trope fest". Like Nelson's character being smart enough not to "mix -in" till circumstances force his hand. He's young and fast but not looking for a fight to prove his...
I can understand your comments and critiques of the film. I find some of them spot on. I also think Timothee Chalomet is a middling actor and miscast. The only thing going for him is that he's closer to Paul's actual age in the book than Kyle McLachlan was in the original. I too found his...
"Flight Commander" - Scroll back a few pages and you can see I reviewed Errol Flynn and David Niven in "Dawn Patrol". A film I've seen many times and love. I knew there was an earlier version and "Flight Commander" is it. Made in 1930, this early talkie is directed by Howard Hawks. D.P. is a...
Saw this one about a year ago. It was as you so ably describe... exhilarating, suspenseful and ultimately sad all at the same time. I believe England was still in it's "hang em' high" stage of Capital Punishment at that time so Preston would soon be meeting his wife in the afterlife. Good...
