Tower of Terror (1997) – reviewed by George
Eddie Murphy made “The Haunted Mansion” (2003) and Steve Guttenberg made this movie six years before: both films are based on rides at Disneyland, but Murphy’s opened in theaters and Guttenberg’s opened on your TV. And yet this is the … Continue reading

Christmas show time! Comment by Anita
It is the Holiday season and we are settling in for big films. I (myself) am getting ready for the movie channel’s efforts. Over Thanksgiving weekend HBO, Starz, even Max were running 1990 something movies as a promo. It didn’t … Continue reading
2012 (2009) – reviewed by George
I think Roland Emerich is a good director and I like him. But watching this movie I got an inkling of why some people don’t. The first half is fantastic – even if you didn’t see it already you remember … Continue reading

The Better ‘Ole (1926) – reviewed by George
Syd Chaplin was Charlie’s older half-brother and became a comedy star sooner, but Charlie grew to be a much bigger star than Syd. Still they always helped each other advance in show business. This film is the only time I have … Continue reading
Raymond Massey as Sherlock Holmes in “Sherlock Holmes and the Speckled Band” (1931) – reviewed by George
Raymond Massey makes a good Sherlock, but the film badly needs restoration, making following the story a bit difficult. The dialogue suffers most. The movie starts with a death. A young woman runs screaming from her bedroom and falls. Her … Continue reading

Arthur Wontner as Sherlock Holmes in “Sherlock Holmes’s Fatal Hour” (1931) – reviewed by George
Arthur Wontner is to Holmes in the UK much as Basil Rathbone is to Holmes in the US. A man appears on screen and fires up and captures the audience’s perceptions. Surely Holmes speaks this way, making the lines on … Continue reading
Shooter (TV Series) – premiere Tuesday November 15, 2016 – reviewed by George
The movie “Shooter” with Mark Wahlberg is one of my favorite films, so I made a point to record this TV premiere and today I watched it. Man, it’s great. It stars Ryan Phillippe as Bob Lee Swagger, the shooter; … Continue reading
