The Sheik (1921) – George Melford
Clips from The Sheik can be found anywhere, it is an iconic Hollywood film from the silent movie era, and it just happens to be the next title I’m watching in Philip Kemp’s Movies book. I can remember the first time I saw clips of this film, alongside Laurel & Hardy shorts, and the occasional…

Gladiator: 20th Anniversary 4k Review
It’s hard to believe that Gladiator is twenty years old. I can still recall the evening I saw in the theatre, and how the group of friends and I simply loved it. Ridley Scott proved what an amazing and technical director he was, and continues to be, Russell Crowe became a new hero to many…

Anaconda (1997) – Luis Llosa
Ugh snakes. I hate snakes. I’ve never been a fan of snakes.I hate how they move, how they look, all of it. So you’d figure the next title in DK Canada’s Monsters in the Movies, Anaconda, would freak me out right? That’s what I thought back in the day when the movie was originally released…
Jaws of Satan (1981) – Bob Claver
Dean Cundey (!?)serves as DOP in this film that stars Fritz Weaver, and Gretchen Corbett, and a very young Christina Applegate, that has a very fun and unbelievable plot, as I delver deeper into DK Canada’s Monsters in the Movies, and settle in for Jaws of Satan, aka King Cobra. In a small town, where…
