Aw yeah. This film from Walt Disney really hit home with me when it came out – and in many respects still today. It’s one of those stand-alone magical films that can take you back to your childhood in an instant, and make you feel like a kid again. Joey Kramer and Sarah Jessica…
The Rockford Files (1976) – Foul on the First Play & A Bad Deal in the Valley
Season 2 of the Rockford Files comes to an end this week with these two episodes. First up is Foul on the First Play, written by Cannell from a story by Chas. Floyd Johnson and Dorothy J. Bailey. It’s original airdate was 12 March 1976… things worked differently back then I guess, because March…
Trailer Tracks: A League Of Their Own – Penny Marshall
Yet another entry on my Top 10 of All Time list is this classic, based on real life events tale about a group of women who agree to play baseball in a new national league in World War II America. I’m pretty sure the film only scratches the surface of what the women went…
Trailer Tracks: E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial – Steven Spielberg
In my eyes, this is one of the world’s perfect movies. As a child, it filled me with wonder and ignited my imagination for apparently the rest of my life (so far, at least). As an adult, that wonder is still there, but is now accompanied by an appreciation for some of the more…
Evil Dead (2013) – Fede Alvarez
I decided to watch a couple of remakes this week, to see how they look, and how they stand up to the originals. We need to establish I’m a huge fan of the originals, I recognize they are full of faults, but there is also an undeniable charm to them, as Raimi and his…
Trailer Tracks: Terminator 2: Judgment Day – James Cameron
I don’t think I’d even seen the original Terminator film when I headed to the theatre with a group of friends to see the sequel. I knew the basic plot, but otherwise settled in rather blind for this one the first time. The movie picks up years after the first one ended, with Sarah…
Escape From Tomorrow (2013) – Randy Moore
I wanted to see this one as soon as I heard about it. I heard how it was put together, using a pair of Canon 5Ds, they shot this film guerrilla style in Disney World and Disneyland. Now yes, there is copyright infringement all over this film, and it’s truly a wonder that Disney…
Trailer Tracks: Nightmare On Elm Street – Wes Craven
As a teenager, my brother, our friend and I, suddenly got into horror movies, and we began renting them on VHS and watching them together pretty much every week. Some were gross, many were cheesy, several were scary as hell, and all of them were good fun. While it was the 3rd film in…
Doctor Who (William Hartnell) – The Ark
This week, the TARDIS travels far into the future, and happily, I didn’t have to watch a reconstruction of it! This time all of the episodes survived, and it was a fun tale. The Ark was originally aired from 5 March to 26 March 1966, and was written by Paul Erickson and Lesley Scott. Over…
Trailer Tracks: Teen Wolf – Rod Daniel
While Tim is away, Sue will play! I thought I’d start out my trailer tracks with a throw way, way back to a film that’s as good cheesy fun today as it was when it came out, Teen Wolf. One of several Michael J Fox vehicles to hit our screens throughout the mid-80’s, this one…
