    Son of Dracula - Movie Review

    So the Son of Dracula was interesting, in that this was the first time I've seen Lon Chaney Jr. in the title role. And to be honest, I loved Lon Chaney as the phantom of the opera, as the wolfman, and even as the mummy, but... this didn't really work for me. Especially the moustache... seriously? Don't get me wrong, he's a great actor in these old monster classics but he doesn't feel right in this role.  Still, it's an entertaining film.

    Werewolf of London - Movie Review

    Werewolf of London was a 1935 horror film directed by Stuart Walker and starring Henry Hull who starred as the werewolf. This was a Universal monster film, but even though it was a werewolf film it didn't actually star Lon Chaney Jr and, to be honest, I really preferred Lon Cheney as the tortured werewolf character.  More reviews at youtube.com/reformedfruit

    The Roaring Twenties - Movie Review

    The Roaring Twenties was a 1939 crime noir/thriller starring James Cagney, Priscilla Lane, Humphrey Bogart, and Gladys George.  It's always awesome seeing Cagney in the gangster role, and double cool to see him paired with Bogart. I also love older films like this one, made in the late 30's, but essentially depicting events from the 1910's through the early 1930's. It even gives a little bit of a history lesson, showing clips of "current" world events (pics of Hitler and Mussolini and so on) then setting the context of what was going on back in the "roaring twenties", some 100 years ago. Great stuff. More reviews at youtube.com/reformedfruit

    Heldorado - Movie Review

    Heldorado was a 1946 western starring Roy Rogers and Dale Evans, as well as "Trigger", Roy's horse. Honestly, this is the first Roy Rogers film I've ever seen, and while I know vaguely of the characters, my strongest memorys of Roy Rogers would be the Roy Roger's restaurants in the tri-state area when I lived in the outskirts of Philalphia and, yeah, that has nothing to do with this review. The format of the film is amusing: Roy's just an easy going cowboy ranger character who just has a mellow demeanor to him, and while the film is based around him cracking down on crime and solving a mystery, there's still plenty of time and opportunity for him to break out into song.  More of my movie reviews available at youtube.com/reformedfruit

    The Enemy Below - Movie Review

    The Enemy Below is a  1957 war movie and is, in my estimation, one of the greatest war films ever made. I've seen it several times and there's just so much I love about this film. What I love about this film is that it doesn't get bogged down with secondary characters, ridiculous subplots or mindless droning exposition. It's just a straight up war film about two brilliant captains, one American, one German, sparring against one another, one in a destroyer on the surface and the other in a U-boat submarine below the waves. When I see a modern film from Hollywood, you know, something really stupid, it helps to remind me that there are films like this one that I can always come back to. There's not much to really say about the story here. Robert Mitchum plays the American commander Capt. Murrell of the destroyer and Curt Jürgens plays the German commander of the submarine.
