Last Non Western You Watched

few esp of quincy m.e.

"Above Us the Waves" from the John Mills Collection vol II. Not a bad war film, although it would have benefitted from a better budget. James Robertson Justice had a memorable cameo as an admiral.

Since Peter Falk recently passed and it's been awhile, I've been watching
episodes of "Columbo". I have the first seven seasons on DVD.

"Legend of the Guardians" - animated story of owl societies in a battle of good over evil. Good movie for children and adults.

The Desert Rats

The Desert Rats

Quote from The Ringo Kid

Hi Keith, im about to go look at them now. They are posted in an ebay store and the sellers names are Ron and Margaret Borst from California. Ill be back and let you know what they have and what im getting ;-))

Ron Borst is a major collector of movie memorabilia. He's done an incredible book on horror movie posters and lobby cards and a nice guy.

I wasnt sure how well known he was? but, they both have been great to me allowing me to make payments when getting stuff too much to afford one single payment on.

I just recently bought complete lobby cards sets from them of movies: Pork Chop Hill, War and Peace and The Longships as well as some lobby card-sized stills from Pork Chop Hill. All these cost me about $120 including postage.-which is a LOT cheaper than most sellers have their stuff for. I regularly see single lobby cards from these titles going from about $10-to-$30 each.

Tota! Tora! Tora!

I have watched Unknown, and Just Go with It. Enjoyable movies in their own way.

Cheers

Star Wars-on Spike TV last night-nothing else was on.

"Kill the Irishman", a lean and violent true story of an Irish thug that had a Mafia hit ordered against him. Very good.

We deal in lead, friend.

Midway

The Omega Man--Charlton Heston. Not one of his best but is fun to watch.

kokoda, the wings of eagles just a couple for me this weekend

"X The Unknown" (1956)
-Dean Jagger

Plot: IMDB

British Army radiation drills at a remote Scottish base attract a subterranean, radioactive entity of unknown nature that vanishes, leaving two severely radiation-burned soldiers... and a "bottomless" crack in the earth. Others who meet the thing in the night suffer likewise, and with increasing severity; it seems to be able to "absorb" radiation from any source, growing bigger and bigger. What is it?? How do you destroy a thing that "feeds" on energy?

Phantom's Review: Produced by Hammer Films in the late 50's. this is an entertaining little Sci-Fi thriller. Well acted and written (by Jimmy Sangster) The monster is a little reminiscent of "The Blob" but that's okay it doesn't take away from the film. Nothing classic, just a solid well made movie.

Asphalt Jungle with Sterling Hayden Sam Jaffe and a very brief appearance of Marilyn Monroe. Good Huston movie with similarities to Kubrick's The Killing.

Clockwork Orange

The original: King Kong.

"Passengers" (2008)
-Anne Hathaway

Plot: IMDB

After a plane crash, a young therapist, Claire, is assigned by her mentor to counsel the flight's five survivors. When they share their recollections of the incident -- which some say include an explosion that the airline claims never happened -- Claire is intrigued by Eric, the most secretive of the passengers. Just as Claire's professional relationship with Eric -- despite her better judgment -- blossoms into a romance, the survivors begin to disappear mysteriously, one by one. Claire suspects that Eric may hold all the answers and becomes determined to uncover the truth, no matter the consequences.

Phantom's Review: Well acted, but slow moving mystery thriller with a slight supernatural twist. Nothing really original about it, in fact my wife and I figured out "the twist" about half way thru the movie. Not bad, just not all that interesting.
