Seems I can’t really get away from the zombie genre lately, and the Sci-Fi Chronicles let me catch up on the sequel to Boyle’s classic 28 Days Later, 28 Weeks Later, which obviously, picks up 6 months after the events of the first film. This one is packed with recognizable faces and names, Jeremy…

Alice in Wonderland (2010) – Tim Burton
The final recommendation from the Great Movies – 100 Years of Film book for my viewing of The Wizard of Oz, is a bit of a swing and a miss. Combining Disney and Burton with a much beloved classic like Carroll’s Alice In Wonderland seems like an easy winner, but I was less than…
The Greatest American Hero (1981) – The Hit Car and Here’s Looking at You, Kid
It’s time to join Ralph (William Katt), Bill (Robert Culp) and Pam (Connie Sellecca) for more fun this week. But first, as I was watching the opening credits, I noticed that Juanita Bartlett who wrote and served as a producer on The Rockford Files, joined Cannell as Executive Producer on this show! Alright kids,…
Magnum, P.I. (1980) – Don’t Eat the Snow in Hawaii (Parts I & II)
I’m jumping ahead to the next Bellisario title, Magnum, P.I., while I fight with my computer and try to get more Airwolf to watch. That’s not a bad thing though, because this is my second favorite Bellisario show ever, and I am so looking forward to revisiting this one! I can’t even begin to…
The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie (1972) – Luis Bunuel
The next recommendation from Great Movies – 100 Years of Film for my screening of Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown, is this increasingly surreal French film. Three couples seem to have insurmountable problems in getting together for a dinner party. Amorous couple, the Senechals, Alice (Stephane Audran) and Henri (Jean-Pierre Cassel),…
Memoirs of an Invisible Man (1992) – John Carpenter
A John Carpenter film I haven’t seen (there are a couple), and I’m kind of divided on this one. It’s very obvious that this is one of the few films that he didn’t (or couldn’t) have complete control over and is also one of the very few that didn’t have him doing the music…
Bringing Up Baby (1938) – Howard Hawks
Cary Grant and Katharine Hepburn pair up in this hilarious comedy, the next title featured in Great Movies – 100 Years of Film. Filled with Howard Hawk’s signature rapid-fire, overlapping dialogue, there are witty remarks, cross-dressing, a goofy love story, a leopard names Baby, and a missing Brontosaurus bone. Grant is one of my…
