Young Frankenstein (1974) – Did anyone think I was going to make my way through all those classic Universal Frankenstein movies and not end up watching this one? Since I’ve been writing reviews I’ve tried to really find a way to characterize what I would consider funny. Too often my reviews of comedies come down … Continue reading →

I’ve been marathoning my way through the Universal Monster films of the 1920s-50s. By and large I’ve found them to be as excellent as I remember from my youth (in the early 90s, I was not yet born when they were made… hell, my dad wasn’t born when most of them were made).

The Invisible Man (1933) – I have always been a fan of horror movies. Always. I was a weird kid, you know? The grim and macabre held a great fascination for me. Now my parents recognized this but you’d be hard-pressed to find responsible parents who would let their 6-year-old see the latest Freddy Krueger … Continue reading →
