The Attack of the Crab Monsters. A classic Roger Corman film from 1957. Even featured the professor from Gilligan's Island in a major role. Ended rather abruptly though. Probably ran out of money and film. [huh]

Or the cops showed up and seized the stolen equipment.
That happened quite frequently to Ed Wood.
Yeah, and you'd think The Attack Of The Crab Monsters would have brought the crowds in....go figure. :D
I think MST3K covered a few Corman movies, I know they did a few Bert I Gordon ones, the most famous being The Deadly Mantis.

I went to see 'Anchorman 2'.

BD

I like how they did a lot more with Brick in this one than in the first movie. :)

Out in the West!
So last night I was going to go see 47 Ronin, but, decided it had been a long week and I didn't want to be in town any longer! I went home and broke out the James Stewart Screen Legend Collection that I found a couple of years ago in an old stack of DVD's in our CP in Afghanistan. I found that I had never watched "You Gotta Stay Happy". Apparently, it was kind of a flop when it was made in 1948, but, I thought it was great. He's a cargo pilot and president of his company. He flies his surplus C-47 with Eddy Albert, with Joan Fontaine catching a ride to avoid trouble in New York. The style is great and the veteran connection is great! It shows style when you wear your actual old A-2 (with Stewart's old group patch on the chest!) with a fedora, tie and collar pin! Eddy Albert in his torn AAF coveralls over his shirt and tie is great too! I have to admit I will likely copy the style from this movie!

Gaslight again, great atmosphere and tension in the film and its really hard to beat the lovely Ingrid Bergman in a corset!

Watched "The Dark Corner" (1946) on DVD. With Lucille Ball, Clifton Webb, William Bendix and Mark Stevens. It reminded me of "Laura" especially at the end. Clifton Webb's characters exude a certain nastiness that borders on evil. Wonder what Hitchcock could have done with such a character?

They have just reissued the original British version of 'Gaslight' in the UK. I don't know if it was ever released in the US since the studios didn't want competition for their version.

Dawn of the Dead (1979): I must have seen it 50 times but my son had never seen it. He's 14, so he's the same age I was when it came out - it's his rite of passage to see the greatest of all zombie films.

An oldie but a goodie TT.

I've actually just started reading the novel "World War Z" after VintageTink recommended it to me here and I have to say I am thoroughly enjoying it. Quite a subtle parable about "world government" in a worldwide crisis as much as a zombie-fest.

Tonight it was "Ronin" (1998). I've seen it before but I really like it and probably some of the best car chase stuff put to film.
