It seems as if they are having a lot of fun.

On of the best film I've seen in awhile, was almost afraid of watching it because of how violent the director's other movies are. Don Johnson is briefly in it.

season 1

season 4

This is a very good film. It really surprised me that a film about boys on a trip to see a dead person could be so interesting.

Some of them might have been fun and/or fun-ny to watch now…but, commercials are commercials. The commercial-bumpers are what absolutely makes this set really cool! Not all had voiceovers, some did. There were also many different pictures & styles used over the years. Sadly, they were cut out with syndication & subsequent releases. By the early 90s commercial-bumpers were phased out all together. If this works, the one below here is just one example (you may have to click on it to get it to play and have sound): IMG_2076.mov

I love it when I discover that a more rare film, and one of my favorite classic adventure movies, actually finally got an “official” release…and in HD on Blu-ray no-less! SECRET OF THE INCAS (1954)! I first saw this film back in the late 90s on AMC, but for years after I couldn’t find it. Then I eventually found some bootleg DVD copies (of the AMC airing) online. Every few years I’d check again to see if there was any kind of official release, and it always just the bootleg copies. But, just this past week I happened to check again, and I was ecstatic to discover that just this past year (2023) Kino Lorber had released it on Blu-ray! Remastered in HD by Paramount, from a 4K scan of the 35mm YCMs, this movie has finally been given its long-deserved treatment! Before he became a screen legend, as Moses & Ben-Hur, Charlton Heston stars as rugged adventurer ‘Harry Steele’. He earns his living as a tour guide in the jungles of Peru…but plans to make his fortune by discovering an ancient Incan treasure—a giant golden, jewel-laden disc called the Sunburst. During his dangerous quest, he encounters other—corrupt searchers, an archaeologist who is more interested in the history rather than the fortune, and a beautiful Romanian refugee named Elena. And with all situations dealing with money & fame…there’s danger, backstabbing, cutthroat individuals, and death. Full of thrilling action, amazing locations & cinematography—as the majority of the movie was filmed at the actual Incan ruins of Machu Picchu, color by the larger-than-life Technicolor (now restored in HD ), featuring an appearance by Peruvian-American singer Yma Sumac—as well as real life descendants of the Incas, Secret of the Incas is a “rip-roaring & romance-filled adventure” that is always fun to watch! Many may already know this, but this is also the film that inspired George Lucas & Steven Spielberg to create…“Indiana Jones”! There are many similarities between Harry Steele & IJ, and the plot of “Incas” is very similar to & styled like Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981). I’m so glad that this 50s adventure gem has finally been restored and released to Blu-ray! Although no melting faces …if you like adventure, thrilling action, as well as history, and “Indiana Jones”…definitely check out the movie that started it all!

Today we want to wish a very Happy Birthday to ............. cageyJG! Enjoy your very Special Day!

They usually were placed about halfway through a commercial break. As if they had to remind you what show you were watching—or calm fears that the show might not come back on, lol. Most TV shows from the 60s through the mid to late 80s had them. By the late 80s/early 90s, they were phased out and no longer used.

Sad that the commercials were cut out but those VHS were made back in the 80's so makes sense someone wouldn't think about someone wanting to watch them 40 years after

My set is DVDs. The episodes were transferred from the original VHS tapes to DVDs. They even have the original commercial-bumpers included (although the commercials themselves are cut out), if you remember or know what those were. It’s probably definitely worth looking into to get a backup set made. But, we’ll see…

I’m sure we could find the answer in Don Gallego’s briefcase

what a team!

Last summer, I welcomed my first child into this world. This picture is from last summer, and I don't know if it's just the shirt, but I immediately thought of Tony Amato at the end of "No Exit." Oddly enough, my father-in-law also said he looked like Bruce Willis! I hope my son does NOT turn out like Tony, though!

Wow! Congrats! My daughter also sufferered this fate!

still from the set of Prodigal son. One can see the marks -later unseen on TV as they used a closed up only - on the ground where they are supposed to stand

I always like discovering films that I’ve not heard of, or seen…or both, before. I can’t believe that until the past couple weeks, I’ve never heard of or seen the 1961 horror/thriller HOMICIDAL! It was made by horror/thriller director William Castle…who also directed fright-flick classics such as House On Haunted Hill (1959), The Tingler (1959), 13 Ghosts (1960), etc… Homicidal was definitely trying to hone in & cash in on the popularity craze of Alfred Hitchcock’s masterpiece the year before…Psycho! But, like all of Castle’s other scary movies, it included a promotional gimmick…a “fright break”. Part way through the film, it allowed a time for “cowards” to leave theaters and get their money back. But, you had to sign a form declaring yourself a coward & that you didn’t stay for the end. But, Homicidal definitely had a style and way of creeping you out, all its own. I’m not gonna lie…I cannot believe this movie was allowed in 1961, as it was very “dark”, violent, and even graphic for its time! It contains one of the bloodiest, most graphic stabbings (for the time), that even in B&W still shocks you. And in 1961…who’d of thought of or included decapitation as well?? But, the characterization & plot twists alone are very twisted, and wild…in more ways than one. Yet, you’re captivated & fascinated at the same time. The story follows the strange, bizarre lives of a half brother & sister Warren & Miriam Webster…along with a sociopathic nurse Emily, who cares for the old creepy family “nanny” Helga, who is now a mute invalid after suffering a stroke. However, it appears that no one or nothing is at seems…as Emily begins to “take care of” anyone & everyone! But, why?? Who are these deranged people, and what dark & sinister family secrets do they share? This is an amazing, suspense, fright flick that makes your skin crawl from the get-go…for those that appreciate older movies for actual acting, plot, graphic shock for the time, and even realistic suspense to weave a masterful yarn of amazing entertainment…Homicidal is a must! I still can’t believe I hadn’t heard of this one before? The 2021, newest high definition remastered Blu-ray by Powerhouse Films/Indicator is superb! It’s full of awesome special features & interviews/documentaries, as well.

"Stand By Me" - My rating (A) A coming of age tale based on the semi autobiographical novel “The Body” by Stephen King and authentically written by Raynold Gideon and Bruce Evans. Director Rob Reiner directs it with a light touch of sentimentality. A well observed and executed film.

I’m sure there’s probably someone out there that’s also made a black Daytona Spyder. I’ll poke around online when I get a chance.
