God, this movie was bad. The kid’s acting is horrendous, but there are some interesting creature designs, and this was one of the first films that introduced me to films that were around before I was born… I tracked down the original after this one, and that one is a much stronger film. Oh…

Trailer Tracks: Fletch (1985) – Michael Ritchie
A lot of folks, when asked, will tell you their favorite Chevy Chase film is Christmas Vacation. For me, it will always be Fletch, based on the series of novels by Gregory McDonald. It’s just fun!
Trailer Tracks: Every Which Way But Loose (1978) – James Fargo
Sure, everyone knows Dirty Harry, and other iconic Clint Eastwood characters but how many people remember Philo Beddoe? And his orangutan?
Trailer Tracks: Serenity (2005) – Joss Whedon
Sigh. I love this movie, and so miss this series so much. One of the greats…
Trailer tracks: Guardians of the Galaxy (2014) – James Gunn
I’m looking forward to this new foray into the Marvel Universe, in fact I’ve already started catching up on the comics. This one just looks like good, summer fun!
Trailer: The Thing From Another World (1951) – Howard Hawks
I’m a huge fan of John Carpenter’s remake, but was delighted to find that I enjoyed the original just as much (how often does that happen with a film and its remake?!?)
Trailer Tracks: The Princess Bride (1987) – Rob Reiner
The dialogue, the story, the music, there isn’t anything I don’t love about this movie… Have fun storming the castle!
Trailer Tracks: Blade Runner (1982) – Ridley Scott
My favorite Ridley Scott film ever. The whole future noir thing, Harrison Ford, the dark gritty future… not so far off now…
Trailer Tracks: The Rocketeer (1991) – Joe Johnston
I’ve always enjoyed the character of The Rocketeer, it’s high-flying adventure, and of course the era it was set in, so I was all for seeing the movie, and with a cast like Timothy Dalton, Bill Campbell, Jennifer Connelly (sigh), and Alan Arkin… I was in. Featuring a score by James Horner that I…
Trailer Tracks: Ghostbusters (1984) – Ivan Reitman
Ahh, 1984… what a year. It was a big year for me. I relocated to Bermuda, and everything seemed to get that much cooler. And boy do I remember how cool this movie was, and continues to be! Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis, and Ernie Hudson taking on the paranormal? Does it get…
