Review: Afro Samurai Resurrection is an anime movie based off the anime series Afro Samurai. Afro has turned down challenges for the Number 1 headband but Shinno (voiced by Yuri Lowenthal) and his sister Sio (voiced by Lucy Liu) arrive and take the Number 1 headband […]

Item: Contempt: A Film by Jean-luc Godard (1963)
Location:
by jhunie
Review: I began binging on Art films after watching a lot of Godard’s works. I was able to gather a short preview of the film, courtesy of nytimes’ feature called the ‘critics picks’ – just like most of the Godard movies I’ve seen […]

Item: Inception: A Film by Christopher Nolan (2010)
Location:
by jhunie
Review: When somebody asked me what Inception was about after watching it, I said – ‘it’s like in a dream’. I gathered from my friends that the movie was creating a lot of buzz lately. So I went out to watch the […]

Item: Children of the Night movie
Location:
by Orrymain
Review: Children of the Night is based on the true experience of Lois Lee, as played by the magnificent Kathleen Quinlan. Lee is a sociology student writing a dissertation so for research she contacts prostitutes, giving them her card and telling them to call her if […]

Item: All the Kind Strangers movie
Location:
by Orrymain
Review: All the Kind Strangers from 1974 is one of those really weird movies that just doesn’t have much value in my opinion. If, and that is a big if, there is a message, it’s something about helping children who have no one in the world […]

Item: Voyage of the Yes movie
Location:
by Orrymain
Review: Voyage of the Yes was something of a coming of age or discovering oneself type of movie. Airing on TV in 1973, the movie is about two young men who travel from California to Hawaii by sailboat.
Desi Arnaz Jr. and Mike Evans starred in the […]

Item: The Pride of Jesse Hallam movie
Location:
by Orrymain
Review: I honestly wasn’t expecting to enjoy The Pride of Jesse Hallam, a 1981 movie that I recently had the chance to see. I just didn’t think it would appeal to me. Plus, the star was Johnny Cash (playing the title role), and usually […]

Item: The Ballad of Andy Crocker movie
Location:
by Orrymain
Review: I remember well The Ballad of Andy Crocker from 1969, and the reason for that was the star, Lee Majors who played Andy Crocker. Crocker gets a medal as a heroic soldier in Vietnam and then heads home, uncertain of what he’ll find.
Early on, […]

Item: Katherine movie
Location:
by Orrymain
Review: Sissy Spacek and Henry Winkler star in this movie called Katherine. The story is actually based on the experiences of a woman named Diana Oughton, whose parents were wealthy and big names in their region.
I actually ended up researching this a little and reading more about Oughton. […]

Item: The Borrowers movie
Location:
by Orrymain
Review: The Borrowers was a 1973 presentation from the Hallmark Hall of Fame, but the first time I saw it was just this week. Though the movie has a wonderful cast, it just wasn’t really my style for some reason.
I realize that the special effects, so to speak, […]

Item: The New Adventures of Heidi movie
Location:
by Orrymain
Review: It’s hard for me to find a Heidi tale that I don’t like. Over the years, I’ve seen a lot of them and most of them have their own unique quality that makes it work. That’s the case with The New Adventures of […]

Item: Congratulations, It’s a Boy! movie
Location:
by Orrymain
Review: Congratulations, It’s a Boy! is a movie I recall seeing back when it was released originally in 1971. It starred Bill Bixby as playboy businessman, Johnny Gaines. Bixby did a fine job here, but it was interesting to me when I re-watched it recently that […]

Item: Good Against Evil movie
Location:
by Orrymain
Review: Good Against Evil, a 1977 movie, was apparently a pilot for a TV series which didn’t sell. I’m not surprised, to be honest. Unfortunately, this also means that there is no ending really to the picture. That’s because the catalyst for the action had […]

Item: Out movie
Location:
by Orrymain
Review: Out, aka: Deadly Drifter, from 1982 is, well, strange. I’m not even sure how to describe the plot, if there was a plot. This collection of scenes had a unique start in how the title was present, and I give it points for that. However, considering […]

Item: The Hanged Man movie
Location:
by Orrymain
Review: Steve Forrest wasn’t a favorite actor of mine, but he did do several movies and TV shows that I liked, which balanced all the performances I didn’t like of his. This movie, The Hanged Man from 1974, is somewhat in the middle.
If you didn’t know it, […]

Item: Get Christie Love! movie
Location:
by Orrymain
Review: In 1974, viewers were presented with the very unique movie, Get Christie Love! The main character, a police lieutenant named Christie Love, was played by Teresa Graves, who might actually be remembered for her comedy input as a regular on Laugh-In.
In reality, this movie which did […]

Item: A Real American Hero movie
Location:
by Orrymain
Review: I wasn’t really sure what to expect from A Real American Hero, a 1978 TV movie about famed sheriff, Buford Pusser. Now this movie was done after at least two of the theatrical Walking Tall films with Joe Don Baker had been released to good […]

Item: Firehouse movie
Location:
by Orrymain
Review: This review is for a movie called Firehouse, which is not to be confused with Richard Dean Anderson’s Firehouse movie of 25 years later. However, whereas in 1997 it was women having to deal with being accepted, in this 1973 version, it’s African Americans struggling to break in […]

Item: They Call it Murder movie
Location:
by Orrymain
Review: They Call it Murder, a 1971 TV film, had a nice opening that I rather loved. The opening credits included a still photo and an action scene of each of the main stars as their name popped up. I applaud the director, Walter Graumann, […]

Item: Incident on a Dark Street movie
Location:
by Orrymain
Review: I wouldn’t be surprised if I’d seen this movie, Incident on a Dark Street, back when it aired in 1973, but I don’t remember it. Still, it was a TV pilot that had all the makings of a show I probably would watch. […]

Item: Maybe I’ll Come Home in the Spring movie
Location:
by Orrymain
Review: Maybe I’ll Come Home in the Spring from 1971 is another one of those movies that aired in prime time once and then became both a late afternoon and then a late night movie, popping up on the air quite often. It’s […]

Item: The Fabulous Dorseys movie
Location:
by Orrymain
Review: As a child, I remember watching The Fabulous Dorseys, a 1947 motion picture, all the time. It was constantly on late night, and as a night owl, it was something I saw quite frequently. With the advent of cable, I haven’t seen it even once.
The […]

Item: Calendar Girl movie
Location:
by Orrymain
Review: I have always loved the genre of musical films. They tend to be more entertaining in my opinion, offering drama in the form of song and dance in addition to the spoken and visual story that we are presented with. What I like about an early […]

Item: Glorifying the American Girl movie
Location:
by Orrymain
Review: Glorifying the American Girl from 1929 purports to be under the direct supervision of the legendary Florenz Ziegfeld. There were lots of showgirls in this motion picture to satisfy that Rockette feeling, too. Even today, the line of girls doing those high leg kicks […]

Item: Swing Hostess movie
Location:
by Orrymain
Review: Swing Hostess, a 1944 musical film, felt very much like a predecessor to Singing in the Rain to me. I thought of that almost all the way through, although it wasn’t the same story exactly.
One of the things I really liked about his movie was seeing how […]
