Cutter’s Goose flies into a storm of adventure this week with two more episodes in the much beloved, and cut too short series, Tales of the Gold Monkey. The first episode, which aired 12 January 1983, and was written by William Driskill, Andrew Schneider, and Eric Lerner, is a bit of a spin on the classic Tarzan…
Trailer Tracks: The Lost Boys (1987) – Joel Schumacher
Before he ruined Batman, Joel Schumacher made this incredibly fun vampire movie with a great cast including Kiefer Sutherland, Jason Patric, Corey Haim, Corey Feldman, Jami Gertz, Dianne Wiest, Barnard Hughes and Alex Winter…
Leviathan Wakes (2011) – James S.A. Corey
I love a good science fiction movie or television series, but oft-times I have a hard time digging into science fiction books, the exception being Arthur C. Clarke, Star Wars and Star Trek novels with occasional deviance into other titles if they catch my attention. I’ll read all manner of books, they just have to hold my…
Trailer Tracks: Toy Story (1995) – John Lasseter
I love PIXAR movies! And going back to their first full length feature is always a joy, so I thought today’s trailer should be the one for that brilliant first feature with all those wonderful characters led by Tom Hanks and Tim Allen as Woody and Buzz…
The Rockford Files (1975) – The Real Easy Red Dog and Resurrection in Black & White
Jim Rockford (James Garner) digs into a couple of murders in this week’s installment. The first episode, The Real Easy Red Dog first aired 31 October, 1975 and was written by Cannell. The phone gag is from a cleaners, who tells Jim that his favorite brown jacket has been lost… Stefanie Powers (Hart To Hart) guest stars as…
Trailer Tracks: 2010 – The Year We Make Contact (1984) – Peter Hyams
It’s difficult to follow in the steps of a master, especially one like Kubrick, but this sequel to 2001: A Space Odyssey, based on Arthur C. Clarke’s fantastic novels, bravely tried to do that. Some of it works, some of it doesnt, some of the effects look horrid when compared to the older original film,…
What’s Up, Doc? (1972) – Peter Bogdanovich
The next recommendation from the Great Movies – 100 Years of Film book for Some Like It Hot is this zany madcap comedy set in San Francisco and starring Barbara Streisand and Ryan O’Neal. Hanging the slightest of story threads on the concept of four identical overnight bags, and four adjoining hotel rooms, this one…
Traielr Tracks: The Omen (1976) – Richard Donner
Not to be confused with the pointless remake, this classic horror film, played for the most part, straightforward, and almost as a drama, until the terrifying incidents begin to occur, and parents Gregory Peck and Lee Remick start to think there is something much more sinister about their young child, Damien (Harvey Stephens). The film…
Pandora and the Flying Dutchman (1951) – Albert Lewin
The recommendations following Pandora’s Box in Great Movies – 100 Years of Film is this romantic fantasy drama starring Ava Gardner and James Mason in the titular roles and both of them are seeking a form of redemption and salvation. Gardner as Pandora, for me, is extremely unlikable character, cold, manipulative, and quite willing to…
Trailer Tracks: Krull (1983) – Peter Yates
This movie has terrible acting, some cheesey special effects, but a mostly cool idea, and I totally crushed on Lysette Anthony in this film! It has a score by James Horner, and features some very recognizable names and faces… Ken Marshall, Freddie Jones, Francesca Annis, Alun Armstrong, Robbie Coltrane and Liam Neeson!
