The 7th Voyage of Sinbad (1958) – Nathan Juran
Setting aside the obvious whitewashing of the cast, The 7th Voyage of Sinbad, the next film in the Dragons & Dinosaurs chapter of DK Canada’s extremely entertaining Monsters in the Movies is a lot of fun. And one that I have a bit of a history with. Growing up we moved around frequently (being in…
Disney’s Aladdin: The Signature Collection
God I love this movie. This was the first Disney movie that I saw more than once in the theater. When it came out in 1992 I took everyone I could to see it (the only other Disney film I did that with was The Lion King in 1994). I loved everything about it, Howard…

Featuring a wonderfully manic performance by Robin Williams as…

The 7th Voyage of Sinbad (1958) – Nathan Juran
Another action flick from Great Movies – 100 Years of Film for the Fairbanks’ classic Thief of Bagdad! This time we join Captain Sinbad (Kerwin Matthews) on a great adventure, featuring some fantastic stop-motion effects by the legendary Ray Harryhausen. Despite the fact that the film is set in Bagdad, everyone is shockingly white, but…
