368,412 | 2,707,735 | 33,075 | 2 | Now listen sister , don't try any of your funny business , or someone's liable to get hurt . | Oh boy , this one is truly pathetic , and not even in a Mystery Science Theater kind of way . I had some hopes with the appearance of the spooky Dr . Jackson ( Laura Bowman ) ; she reveals an enigmatic back story of running off to Africa after Eleanor Lindsay's parents died in a tornado when she was only ten months old... |
367,847 | 2,707,735 | 147,467 | 2 | . . . and then it happened , I gave myself to him . | The severely dated production values and stiff performances by the actors immediately calls to mind another ' educational ' gem of the era - " Reefer Madness " . In the name of sex education and the eradication of the evils of socially transmitted disease , the film begins with the earnest entreaty that " Ignorance Mus... |
368,309 | 2,707,735 | 54,333 | 2 | Just you try that baby cakes . | Had Roger Corman's name been attached to this picture , I wouldn't have been surprised . It's like " Swamp Women " times two set in a more idyllic tropical locale , whose creatures of the title make only an intermittent appearance just to remind us it's supposed to be their story . But it never is , the very few times ... |
368,117 | 2,707,735 | 54,768 | 2 | A government agent lives in constant peril . | It would be hard to imagine this film being anything more than a parody of the sci-fi , horror and mystery genres . It's got a government secret agent more inept than Maxwell Smart keeping tabs on mobster Renzo Capetto ( Antony Carbone ) who's a Humphrey Bogart wanna-be , and a crew member who can mimic any animal he's... |
367,959 | 2,707,735 | 76,191 | 2 | You know , there's somethin ' strange going on around here . | Why do I constantly do this to myself ? I mean , really , it's right there in the title - " The Incredible Melting Man " . What else would I expect ? I have to admit , I'm a sucker for just about anything I come across on the Monster HD channel , but the only redeeming feature of this picture would be that truly grotes... |
368,538 | 2,707,735 | 46,066 | 2 | In the continuing war for survival between man and the hexapod , only another fool would bet against the insect . | Mesa of Lost Women has two early hooks that make it seem that the movie is actually going somewhere . Even before any opening credits roll , there's the seductive scene with Tarantella ( Tandra Quinn ) using her nine inch nails on a hapless victim . The nails are never seen again . While in a mountaintop surrounded b... |
368,312 | 2,707,735 | 62,946 | 2 | I've been hunting the sacred monkey for a year and I don't intend to lose her now . | If the handful of postings from prior reviewers haven't been enough , let me chime in with my two cents for " Kong Island " . In the tradition of hundreds of ' B ' Westerns of the Thirties and Forties , the story has absolutely nothing to do with the title , which on the surface , looks to be cashing in on the gorilla ... |
368,023 | 2,707,735 | 60,536 | 2 | You can't stay here , it isn't the way I planned it . | With one viewing , this movie crashes into my Top 10 Worst Films of All Time , and not without good reason . The dialog , if you can pay attention that long , is absolutely the worst from a cast of characters that obviously must not have known what they were getting into . Sadly , there's not one redeeming feature to t... |
367,664 | 2,707,735 | 47,507 | 2 | That night , all seemed well in the town of Shekar . | A poor man's Chewbacca , " The Snow Creature " gives literal meaning to the term ' walking carpet ' . The Abominable Snowman concept gets off to an inauspicious screen start with this offering from 1954 , but unlike the intrepid explorers who bring one back alive , you won't have to reach a high altitude to get dizzy w... |
367,704 | 2,707,735 | 53,337 | 2 | You are not familiar with the focus and disintegrator ray ? | OH . . . MY . . . GOD ! ! ! " Teenagers From Outer Space " actually exists and I just finished watching it ! Now don't get me wrong , it's not a worst movie ever candidate , it's too campy and oddly entertaining for that . This is " Father Knows Best " meets " The Outer Limits " with no pretense to be anything other th... |
367,903 | 2,707,735 | 58,072 | 2 | This is no real doctor , this is a Sumerian mutant ! | Keep in mind that the last movie I saw and reviewed just before this one was " Gone With The Wind " . I can't really say why I watch stuff like " Evil Brain From Outer Space " , I guess it's a need to achieve some kind of balance . What surprised me right off the bat was that this was a Japanese monster movie , but wit... |
367,962 | 2,707,735 | 61,592 | 2 | And now last of Man , your journey will begin . | I put together my Top Ten Worst Movie List some time ago , and find that it's going to be difficult for newcomers to bump any of those titles for the privilege . But " Doomsday Machine " looks like a definite contender , to the extent of making even " The Beast of Yucca Flats " look pretty good by comparison . I've rea... |
368,100 | 2,707,735 | 61,550 | 2 | It only looks like a monster , but it's really cute . | I haven't seen a lot of Japanese monster movies myself , basically just the original king daddy " Godzilla " , and a handful of knockoffs with creatures like Gamera and Rodan . However I don't think I'd be wrong in stating that " Monster From a Prehistoric Planet " must certainly be near the bottom of the pile in terms... |
367,623 | 2,707,735 | 63,790 | 2 | Well I don't know about you fellas , but I'd like to see Venus . | The voice over narration at the start of the film describes itself as a ' fantasy of the future ' . In this case , it was a future three years beyond the 1965 version of basically the same movie - " Voyage to The Prehistoric Planet " . Minor alterations are merely cosmetic , this space mission takes place in 1998 , whi... |
368,072 | 2,707,735 | 54,237 | 2 | Stranger , you're in the Queendom of the Amazons . | It would be hard to imagine this film as anything more than a parody of the Hercules / gladiator genre , but it fails miserably even at that . I can't believe that the film makers had anything remotely sensible in mind when they patched this thing together , or if they even had an overall working outline of what they w... |
367,711 | 2,707,735 | 61,850 | 2 | OK , see you day before yesterday . | It's hard to believe that movies as bad as this were being made as late as 1967 . It's about as technologically advanced as any " B " grade film from the ' 40's , but done in color . However the garish orange of the lab setting and time capsule is so bright it will make you grab for a pair of sunglasses . So much for t... |
368,527 | 2,707,735 | 54,017 | 2 | You're never lost , you always know exactly where you are . | An interesting premise comes to naught in this end of the world parable which never really establishes any semblance of credibility , at least in the mind of this viewer . When a vacationing banker and his wife , along with their lawyer go skin diving in Puerto Rico and come up for air , they find their chartered boat ... |
368,070 | 2,707,735 | 200,402 | 3 | It's only a building , lives are more important . | The ninja kids in question are descendants of the Ming Dynasty who wear a talisman of their origin . The Ching want to kill them to remove all trace of their heritage . Just about the entire film is spent by the young martial artists in training with stone benches that will come in handy for the film's climax when they... |
368,042 | 2,707,735 | 41,783 | 3 | Anything you might say or do here carries about as much weight as the howl of a hound dog . | As a collector of old time Western movie posters , I'm compelled to get my hands on a copy of the film corresponding to the titles I've gotten . My Monte Hale poster comes from " Ranger of Cherokee Strip " , so therein lies my motivation to see this film . Believe me when I tell you , the poster is better than the movi... |
368,065 | 2,707,735 | 63,000 | 3 | Prepare the brain control device for firing ! | Destroy All Planets winds up settling for ' destroy all Tokyo ' by film's end , as a space monster resembling a giant squid falls to the reptilian furnace known as Gamera . Actually , Gamera is saving Earth right from the get go , knocking out Varian Space Ship # 1 even before the first set of film credits roll . The... |
367,596 | 2,707,735 | 70,569 | 3 | I wouldn't give you a plug nickel against fifty honest to God brass button soldiers . | Chuck Connors and Cesar Romero head an otherwise unknown cast in this tale set in South America in 1870 , as Will Hansen ( Connors ) leads a group of four ex-Confederate soldiers now plying their trade as mercenaries . Hansen is the only member of the band that seems to have any hint of a hard edge , the rest are just ... |
367,939 | 2,707,735 | 54,330 | 3 | He still smells Earthy . | Had the film maker taken a lighter approach , this picture might have had more of a chance . At what I don't know , but given the monotone personality of every cast member aboard Bravo Zulu 88 , this is a movie that takes itself way too seriously . By the time Commander George ( David Montresor ) laments the human cond... |
368,270 | 2,707,735 | 54,285 | 3 | This is the only hope you have , keep that in mind always . | Atom Age Vampire makes use of a lot of pseudo scientific jargon to make the most of " restoring normal growth of abnormal cells " and " spontaneous reproduction of living cells " . Professor Alberto Levin ( Alberto Lupo ) isn't sure of his Derma 28 invention , but able assistant Monique ( Franca Parisi ) convinces hi... |
368,208 | 2,707,735 | 28,582 | 3 | Tex , you're just one of those guys that don't know when he's well off . | Arizona Days opens with a snappy song on horseback by cowboy star Tex Ritter , but truthfully , that's about as entertaining as this film gets in it's fifty seven minute run . However the DVD print I viewed had a rather disjointed cut following a scene where Tex offers to help a minstrel show owner by paying off a th... |
368,379 | 2,707,735 | 74,157 | 3 | Fascinating rock structure David ! | This is just about one of the dumbest things I've ever seen . Maybe not a worst movie ever contender , but if you haven't seen that many bad ones , this could easily make your Top Ten Worst List . When you consider what was achieved in 1933 with the original " King Kong " , you've got to ask yourself why anyone would s... |
368,279 | 2,707,735 | 52,394 | 3 | Ocko brings you the kill , it is good , his father will buy you tonight . | Connoisseurs of bad movies will have a field day with this one , " Wild Women of Wongo " is a veritable treat for lovers of turkey films . I know that when I first heard of the title I couldn't rest till it was part of my library . Fortunately , a company known as Mill Creek Entertainment packages various genres into c... |
368,028 | 2,707,735 | 30,168 | 3 | Say , I'm an expert at this getaway business . . . | I won't say this is one of the worst movies I've ever seen , because it isn't . But boy , it sure is one of the dumbest . Though the story has a fairly good premise and an interesting hook with the ' Junius ' letters , it all crumbles under third grade level writing and if it's possible , even worse performances by the... |
368,384 | 2,707,735 | 28,074 | 3 | Hey , I can fix that right up . I've got the grandest headache medicine in the world . | It's true what they say - I started with " Reefer Madness " and " The Marijuana Menace " , and gradually worked up to the really hard stuff - " The Cocaine Fiends " . But I have to tell you , if you watch this film under the influence , it will make just about as much sense . I was generally able to follow what was goi... |
368,280 | 2,707,735 | 39,743 | 3 | Well , you wanted jungle , from here on you've got it . | The fact that nothing about this movie makes any sense is what also gives it it's dubious charm . I have to say the movie's opening had a pretty decent hook with the elephant procession in Akbar , India , while a pretty but demure Indian girl held out the hope of a mysterious adventure . Once on safari though , things ... |
367,935 | 2,707,735 | 434,964 | 3 | I say we should stay here and dance . | Flame in , flame out . That seems to be Gammera in a nutshell , a prehistoric creature who can take it and dish it out with equal abandon . I'm not a fan of Japanese monster films , but wound up committed to viewing all the flicks on the fifty film DVD sci-fi collection put out by Mill Creek / Treeline Films . It's a g... |
368,299 | 2,707,735 | 42,855 | 3 | What type of women are these ruling wonders who attack men and live in trees ? | While watching , my mind constantly came back to the question of what would possess someone to make a film like this . Sure , the story's opening hints of romance when the world was young , but then can't decide if it was ten or a hundred thousand years ago . Only one thing is certain with a film like this , with all t... |
368,389 | 2,707,735 | 62,036 | 3 | You heard what the man said baby , it came from the sky . | What ? - that was it ? The town sheriff ( John Agar ) blows up the mutant gorilla with a stick of dynamite hidden in a mannequin ? Did I just write that ? Did I just see that ? With instrumentals by The Wildcats , " Night Fright " is one flick that never deserved to be made as late as 1967 . The heyday of the gorilla w... |
368,255 | 2,707,735 | 48,682 | 3 | On my way in I planned a way out . | On the trail of the once stolen and now missing " Nardo Diamonds " , police woman Lee Hamilton ( Carole Mathews ) infiltrates the female members of said gang behind prison walls . Planning a jail break , she accompanies Beverly Garland , Marie Windsor and Jil Jarmyn into the swamps of Louisiana's bayou country where th... |
368,593 | 2,707,735 | 64,360 | 3 | Oh boy , science has advanced here much more than on Earth . | Reliving my youth with collections of movies from the Fifties and Sixties has generally been a blast . However I was never really a fan of the Japanese monster genre other than Godzilla , and perhaps " Attack of the Monsters " plays a big part of the reason . For this one , you'll have to leave all common sense at the ... |
367,615 | 2,707,735 | 33,845 | 3 | When I call a man a liar and a thief , I want to say it to his face . | Interestingly , the synopsis for " Frontier Fury " on the Brentwood compilation of old Westerns describes the story for the 1943 film starring Charles Starrett . This movie's real title is " The Lone Rider in Frontier Fury " , and it casts George Houston as the title character , going by the name of Tom Cameron . It wa... |
367,880 | 2,707,735 | 27,647 | 3 | Go get ' em boys , don't shoot unless you have to ! | Hoot Gibson was admittedly one of the top screen cowboys of the silent era , perhaps second only to the legendary Tom Mix . So to see him in 1936's " Frontier Justice " is probably a terrible injustice to his legacy ; the picture is a veritable chore to sit through . Well past his prime as a matinée idol , Gibson comes... |
368,498 | 2,707,735 | 53,593 | 3 | As you can see , this is quite a serious business . | Major Paul Krenner ( James Griffith ) engineers a prison break for Joey Faust ( Douglas Kennedy ) , because he needs a human subject to further Dr . Peter Ulof's ( Ivan Triesault ) experiments in invisibility . Krenner's master plan is to create an invisible army to achieve world domination . He probably should have be... |
367,841 | 2,707,735 | 57,859 | 3 | No one's to leave this house without permission . | I always get a kick out of the nonsense that passes for scientific rationale in films like " The Atomic Brain " . In the early going , we're introduced to Dr . Otto Frank who's experimenting with the transplantation of animal brains into human beings . He uses atomic fission in a cyclotron to stimulate brain cells . An... |
367,764 | 2,707,735 | 25,373 | 3 | You forget Senor Sheriff , wolves run in packs , and mine is not far behind . | Even die hard John Wayne fans will have to concede that this film is a mess . Wayne's character , John Tobin is after the gang that killed his parents , led by half Apache , half white renegade Pandro Zanti ( Earl Dwire ) , posing as a Mexican . There are almost too many silly plot points to count , but those that stan... |
368,127 | 2,707,735 | 99,978 | 3 | What kind of monster are you ? | Early in the film , Michael Gold ( Brandon Lee ) describes his job as ' People Management and Conduct Behavior Modification ' ; good luck with that one . He didn't do a very good job of either while walking through the desert with his bimbo partner Alissa ( Debi Monahan ) . Wouldn't it have been good advice to cut off ... |
368,343 | 2,707,735 | 52,072 | 3 | OK , you bloodsucking weasel , where's Manfred ? | The lone trivia note regarding this film states that it was made in color and released in the U . S . in black and white . Surprisingly then I suppose , the color version shows up on a three DVD / nine movie set of films from St . Clair Vision under their ' Pirates ' compilation . Echoing the sentiment of the only othe... |
368,294 | 2,707,735 | 46,192 | 3 | If all of Saturn is like this , you can have it . | The 1939 " Buck Rogers " serial clocks in at just about four hours , and though " Planet Outlaws " is just a bit over an hour itself , the repetitious nature of it's programming makes it feel almost as long as the original . I wasn't counting , but how many trips did Buck ( Buster Crabbe ) and sidekick Buddy ( Jackie M... |
367,697 | 2,707,735 | 36,753 | 3 | Sally , you sure know all the angles . | So I'm watching the flick , and I start thinking to myself - Good grief , did people actually pay good money to watch stuff like this back in the Forties ? Yeah , I know , admission was probably only about a quarter at best , but still , you could have had a couple sodas at the malt shop . Straight out of the exploitat... |
368,302 | 2,707,735 | 55,946 | 3 | A lot of people aren't going to believe this giant jazz . | EEEEE . . . . . GAAAAA . . . . . HHHHHH . . . . . ! ! ! ! ! I'm always fascinated to discover a new film genre . File this one under soft porn caveman flicks , or alternatively , ' Mondo Bizarro ' in a dune buggy . Eegah " is so hilariously entertaining on so many levels that it defies classification , even as one of... |
367,652 | 2,707,735 | 24,679 | 3 | You all got a corpse around here ? | Potential viewers be warned , the current IMDb viewer rating for " Tomorrow at Seven " is an anomaly of low voter turnout . It has an interesting premise , a killer leaves an Ace of Spades calling card at the scene of his crimes , while alerting the victim in advance . The execution falls flat however , and to say that... |
368,124 | 2,707,735 | 271,489 | 3 | Look at that , it's another trap . | And look at that , it's another Hercules movie , though this time it's billed as Son of Hercules . I can't imagine why film makers rallied around the original Steve Reeves " Hercules " flick to spin off nearly an additional two hundred more of these beefcake bashes . I've only seen a half dozen or so myself , but they'... |
368,264 | 2,707,735 | 52,169 | 3 | She cries , she cries in the night . | The Screaming Skull opens with a warning and an offer for free burial services if you should die watching it - Now there's a hook ! The story itself has a fairly interesting premise for a horror flick : scheming husband marries a wealthy woman with a history of mental illness , then attempts to convince her that she'... |
367,608 | 2,707,735 | 44,406 | 3 | And how are you today my little anthropoid ? | The first time I ever heard of this title I thought it was a joke ; it was in reference to a movie poster for the film . Ever since , I've been on the lookout for the movie in any form , and today was my lucky day , in a manner of speaking . Not only did I find the DVD for just a buck , but the picture quality was exce... |
368,031 | 2,707,735 | 28,836 | 3 | I'm not lazy , I like the sun in my face . | Even for a movie , this story defies credibility on so many levels that it begins to parody itself . It starts with a nice enough guy , Nick Allen ( William Hall ) looking for employment in a new town , who's suddenly caught up in a street fight and taking a bullet for a young lady accosted by a couple of thugs . His w... |
367,905 | 2,707,735 | 49,900 | 3 | Good luck Number # 1 , the fate of Paira rests with you . | Warning from Earth - you are on a collision course with your own sanity if you proceed past the opening scene . Wow , did you get a good look at those goofy starfish pajamas ? We should be grateful that that was one Japanese import that didn't make it . " Warning From Space " requires a certain something from it's view... |
367,769 | 2,707,735 | 26,273 | 4 | Get out of here , I want this thing to be legal . | John Scott ( John Wayne ) and partner Kansas Charlie ( Eddy Chandler ) are trail buddies who make their way to the Rattlesnake Gulch rodeo . Scott is a pretty fair contestant , but finds that unless he's willing to accept twenty five cents on the dollar in prize money from a crooked promoter , he'll have to collect his... |
368,383 | 2,707,735 | 28,218 | 4 | That's my business , taking chances . | Here's something I've never seen before in a Western - a henchman shoots a rancher for his five thousand dollar bankroll , and in turn is shot at the same time by the hero of the story . It allows for Tom Crenshaw ( Tom Tyler ) to assume a dual identity to get the goods on town boss Stanton ( Richard Kramer ) and help ... |
368,300 | 2,707,735 | 61,217 | 4 | Are you people positive you know what you're doing ? | Interplanetary hitchhiker Zontar sets his sights on Earth , communicating with scientist Keith Ritchie ( Tony Houston ) via a home made radio set up that's actually more impressive looking than all the room size computer equipment at the " Installation " . Houston resembles Jerry Seinfeld with a hard edge , so watching... |
368,169 | 2,707,735 | 28,192 | 4 | Get on that horse and ride for your life . . . | I don't think I've seen a ' B ' Western oater before that relied on about ten minutes of plot and forty eight minutes of aimless and endless chase scenes . All done in service to the story of course , but one almost winds up forgetting that Tom Tyler's hero character is on the trail of a bunch of crooks who want to hij... |
368,393 | 2,707,735 | 47,820 | 4 | I like you , I don't want to have to kill you . | I've seen Westerns set in Mexico and Australia , but this is the first one I've seen set in Brazil . Which wouldn't have been so bad , but this was so far south of the border that it turned into an extended siesta . Considering the principals , especially the reliable Glenn Ford ( I'd say always reliable , but not afte... |
368,185 | 2,707,735 | 28,174 | 4 | You have the secret of the zombies , let me have it . | Though the title includes the word " zombies " , this film is not what you'd expect from a movie made today , though for 1936 the concept is played out about as well as would probably be expected . Dean Jagger portrays Armand Louque , an officer in the French Army of World War I , who has stumbled upon an ancient tale ... |
367,766 | 2,707,735 | 26,267 | 4 | You'd better run along before a storm breaks , ' cause I've got a feeling I'm gonna cloud up and rain all over you . | As in John Wayne's earlier film " Blue Steel " , a polka dot neckerchief figures in the plot of this Lone Star production . It belongs to Rudd Gordon ( Dennis Moore ) , the man who killed John Mason's ( Wayne ) father in a botched hold up attempt . Racing after the bandit gang , Mason is injured , and is nursed back to... |
368,274 | 2,707,735 | 83,661 | 4 | I kiss thee and I kill thee , no way but this . | Put Jose Ferrer and James Earl Jones together in a film and you would think you'd have the ingredients for a Shakespearean drama , but what you get in " Blood Tide " might pass for a made for TV horror flick with some X rated moments . Martin Kove and Mary Louise Weller portray newlyweds Neil and Sherry Grice , on the ... |
367,693 | 2,707,735 | 21,966 | 4 | He doesn't look like a hit and run flier to me . | You'll want to see " A Holy Terror " if you're a Humphrey Bogart fan , but it would be incorrect to consider this a Bogey film . George O'Brien stars and portrays Anthony Woodbury , the socialite son of a father who legally changed his name twenty five years ago , and at the same time had William Drew ( James Kirkwood ... |
368,092 | 2,707,735 | 91,344 | 4 | Hello Kong . . . , welcome back . | I never knew this film even existed until I ran across it in a second hand shop . With Linda Hamilton in the credits it was worth a try for the buck I laid out , even though messing with the Kong legend is always risky business . Equal parts camp and cheese , the film has it's occasional high spots amid the generally r... |
367,573 | 2,707,735 | 28,346 | 4 | Tell your children . | If the producers of " Reefer Madness " had intended to produce a campy , neurotic cult film , they could not have succeeded better . Of course , the film had a different intent , to portray the " frightful toll of the new drug menace - Marihuana is that drug - a violent narcotic - the real Public Enemy Number One " ! T... |
367,859 | 2,707,735 | 19,684 | 4 | One never knows what lies behind the curtain . | Other than being based on a story by Earl Derr Biggers , this film offers little in the way of mainstream Charlie Chan familiarity , even down to the portrayal of the Oriental Detective by Asian actor E . L . Park in the closing minutes of the film . By then , the mystery behind the murder of Hilary Galt is no mystery ... |
367,617 | 2,707,735 | 75,781 | 4 | Eternal surveillance is the price of liberty . . . | The Brain Machine will at least put your own brain into overdrive trying to figure out what it's all about . Four subjects of varying backgrounds and intelligence level have been selected for an experiment described by one of the researchers as a scientific study of man and environment . Since the only common denomin... |
367,759 | 2,707,735 | 37,099 | 4 | Something happens to me when I think of Egypt . | If at all possible , try to view all five of the Universal " Mummy " films in order , not so much for the continuity between films , but for the very evident lack thereof . Of course it goes without saying that the original Boris Karloff classic " The Mummy " really shouldn't even be mentioned in the same breath as the... |
368,365 | 2,707,735 | 56,480 | 4 | Knowing and proving something are two very different matters Watson . . . | An informant with a blade in his back leads Sherlock Holmes ( Christopher Lee ) and aide Doctor Watson ( Thorley Walters ) to the Hare and Eagle Pub , and on to the trail of the " Deadly Necklace " , once belonging to Cleopatra , and now in the possession of Holmes ' arch-enemy Professor Moriarty ( Hans Sohnker ) .

368,211 | 2,707,735 | 52,646 | 4 | Very well , the corpse is yours , do what you want to do . | Bill Cortner ( Jason Evers ) is a maverick doctor who steals limbs from amputee victims in his quest to create new life ; nurse Jan Compton ( Virginia Leith ) is his frisky fiancée who just can't wait to get married . The good doctor maintains a country home where a medical assistant keeps watch over his less than ethi... |
367,730 | 2,707,735 | 41,865 | 4 | I could turn your life into a nice big beautiful sleigh ride . | This story of ' tea ' and ' tomatoes ' purports to boast an ' All Star Hollywood Cast ' , but even if you're a follower of films from the 1930's and ' 40's , I don't think you'll recognize a single name in the credits . Maybe Lyle Talbot , who's screen credits total nearly three hundred roles , but after that I think y... |
368,340 | 2,707,735 | 32,277 | 4 | There's never any warmth where the dead do not rest . | The East Side Kids had a couple of films going by " Spooks Run Wild " and " Ghosts on the Loose " , but this one seems even better suited to a ghost story than the other two . It's got some atmospheric creepy sets , a long dungeon like room , and someone even dons the white sheets unlike the aforementioned films . What... |
368,256 | 2,707,735 | 45,936 | 4 | We'll go with the man who'll make us champion Chappie . | Though this film is widely available in the public domain , I wound up catching it as a YES Network presentation under the " Yogi and a Movie " banner , hosted by Yankee great Yogi Berra with Bob Lorenz . Unfortunately I was expecting a lot more . With only a novices ' limited knowledge of the boxing great's career , I... |
368,034 | 2,707,735 | 54,691 | 4 | As other men collect fame and riches , I collect trophies . | With a concept borrowed from " The Most Dangerous Game " , and the future dad of " The Brady Bunch " , " Bloodlust " achieves little in the way of intrigue or suspense , and if you don't manage to break into a chuckle or two while watching it , you're taking the film way too seriously . Johnny Randall ( Robert Reed ) i... |
367,651 | 2,707,735 | 39,210 | 4 | Cease fire you fool idiots , you're shootin ' at the law . | I remember seeing only one Lash LaRue film as a kid growing up , but the image of the black clad cowboy brandishing a bull whip has remained with me ever since . Seeing one of these " B " Westerns some sixty years after they were made is a neat exercise in nostalgia , and only goes to show how far films have come since... |
367,572 | 2,707,735 | 28,653 | 4 | When it comes to choosin ' sides Dinkie , you're not so good . | Dare Rudd ( John Wayne ) and sidekick Dink Hooley ( Syd Saylor ) are itinerant cowpunchers who can't seem to stay in one place very long . In " Helltown " , the boys are headed to Montana , where they meet up with Rudd's cousin Tom Fillmore ( Johnny Mack Brown ) , who offers them a job . It's a hoot to see the boys wea... |
368,045 | 2,707,735 | 43,570 | 4 | I belong to the jungle . | If you've seen more than a couple of Johnny Weismuller's ' Jungle Jim ' movie adventures , you won't have any trouble spotting the scenes repeated from earlier films in the franchise . " Fury Of The Congo " has at least two , utilizing Jim's wrestling match with a leopard from the first film of the series ( " Jungle Ji... |
368,025 | 2,707,735 | 41,602 | 4 | This is the land of Zom . | Having just watched the original " Jungle Jim " movie from the prior year , I couldn't help noticing how similar the plot elements were for this follow up film , as the jungle hero agrees to help Zoron , the leader of Zom , from trespassing white men who would plunder the kingdom of it's treasure . Which wouldn't have ... |
367,843 | 2,707,735 | 46,001 | 4 | We know you're alright , but we'd like you to stay that way . | The Limping Man has the makings of a fairly good mystery until the let down at the end of the film , which makes a more thorough review a moot point . Lloyd Bridges stars in this British film as former military man Franklin Prior returning to London to reunite with an old flame . However Pauline French ( Moira Lister... |
368,480 | 2,707,735 | 58,953 | 4 | Don't you ' I love you ' me - What ? | I could never get into the sun and surf films of the Sixties because frankly , they looked kind of dumb . However in the interest of maintaining a well rounded view of cinematic achievement , I caught this today on Turner Classic Movies . Boy , was it dumb . The host on TCM stated that each of the Frankie and Annette b... |
368,218 | 2,707,735 | 556,462 | 4 | Show business is a tough racket . . . . , look at these casualties . | It's interesting , when Dean Martin presented his Celebrity Roast of Frank Sinatra in 1977 , he ( Sinatra ) was honored as Man of the Year . Back in 1973 , Kirk Douglas got the star treatment as Man of the Week , which is OK , but it certainly didn't have the feel of the celebrity roasts I was used to watching back in ... |
368,462 | 2,707,735 | 69,933 | 4 | Just make sure that stake is good and sharp or we're all dead . | With a title like " Crypt Of The Living Dead " I guess I was expecting a little more in the way of zombie spectacle . Not that I'm particularly a fan of that type of genre , but you have certain expectations . What the picture lacks in horror and gore is suitably replaced by creepy atmosphere , which is probably the hi... |
368,484 | 2,707,735 | 76,518 | 4 | He don't care about the dough anymore , he wants revenge . | I read a couple of good reviews on this board for " Mr . Scarface " , but for anyone uninitiated in the genre of Italian gangster films like myself , the picture will probably make very little sense . Indeed , after the initial setup involving the ten million lira scam , the picture devolved into a fairly routine reven... |
367,804 | 2,707,735 | 33,576 | 4 | Aw , now don't tell me you fell out of that little old plane this time . | Robot Pilot starts out like it might be positioning itself as an espionage thriller , but unfortunately ( or fortunately depending on your disposition ) , never even comes close . There are probably more comic elements present than might have been originally intended , so if you approach the flick as a romantic comed... |
367,873 | 2,707,735 | 56,896 | 4 | You don't have to know my rules to die . | This was a tough movie to follow because the sound was so poor . It had the feel of a 1950's ' B ' Western making it hard to imagine it was made as late as 1963 . That would explain Jock Mahoney's aged appearance since his 1958 TV series " Yancy Derringer " , flourishes of which we see in the character of Don Michael O... |
368,038 | 2,707,735 | 65,596 | 4 | I figure I'll meet the Apache sooner or later , guess I'd rather it be later . | I've been intrigued by the title of this 1970 Western for some time , so when I had a chance to pick it up new for just a buck , I thought I'd give it a try . I believe I'm due some change . The film offers a quartet of villainous desperadoes on the hunt for gold , who brutalize an Indian family and expect the lone sur... |
367,621 | 2,707,735 | 24,444 | 4 | And I'm a warnin ' ya , he's most dangerous when he's smilin ' . That's a sure sign he's riled . | By the time it's all over , the story of the " Phantom Thunderbolt " winds up being pretty lame , but it's about as much fun as you can have with a turn of the talkie era Western . Ken Maynard provides the thrills as the Thunderbolt Kid , arriving in the town of Coyote Gulch right after partner Nevady ( Frank Rice ) he... |
368,589 | 2,707,735 | 22,418 | 4 | Let them suspect , they can prove nothing . . . , not my way . | Creakiness and atmosphere this film has , but so unfortunately does the print I just viewed . Raymond Massey provides a laid back Sherlock Holmes , almost comically so in early scenes in his bathrobe , which he trades in for a laborer's garb to investigate the creepy mansion of Dr . Rylott ( Lyn Harding ) . What wasn't... |
368,129 | 2,707,735 | 87,479 | 4 | Did you catch your maniac yet ? | Ten years after ' Star Trek ' and this film features an escaped convict using the ' beam me up Scotty ' routine without a teleporter device . Roger Sands ( Frank Ashmore ) is on the hunt for celebrity starlets who remind him of his mom so that he can practice his strangle holds on them . Roger was kept in isolation by ... |
368,447 | 2,707,735 | 25,830 | 4 | More trouble , more fun . | Lone Star Productions sure churned them out in the 1930's , and " Star Packer " has the feel of one of the more rushed ones . John Wayne is U . S . Marshal John Travers , investigating a crooked hoodlum known only as " The Shadow " , responsible for stealing cattle , stage holdups and the like , and giving orders from ... |
368,585 | 2,707,735 | 54,950 | 4 | It's not difficult to tell the truth , but it's impossible to be believed . | I guess every great actor is allowed at least one poor casting decision , and with this film , that distinction goes to Claude Rains . It's hard to believe the Professor Benson of this film is the same man who brilliantly portrayed Captain Renault in 1942's " Casablanca " . Here he's one dimensionally annoying as a bul... |
368,591 | 2,707,735 | 54,851 | 4 | This is a mad dream Antinea , but I shall put an end to the madness . | The title " Hercules and the Captive Women " is a bit of a misnomer , there was only one woman captive , and along with her mother , Queen Antinea of Atlantis , were the only two women in the entire film . The International English title mentions the ' Conquest of Atlantis ' , and that probably makes more sense , but i... |
367,607 | 2,707,735 | 35,640 | 4 | Prepare yourself for a great shock Agatha . | When Dr . James Brewster ( Bela Lugosi ) becomes a guinea pig for his own experiments , he turns himself into a medical marvel , at least that's the contention of his partner Dr . George Randall ( Henry Hall ) . The only thing the viewer will witness is an already bearded Lugosi affecting a stooped over walking pattern... |
368,328 | 2,707,735 | 29,989 | 4 | Child marriage must go ! | This just might be the creepiest movie I've seen to date , and not even for reasons posted in some of the other viewer comments on this board . The scene that got to me was the wedding ceremony near the end of the story with old Jake Bolby ( Warner Richmond ) all but licking his chops to get little Jennie Colton ( Shir... |
368,320 | 2,707,735 | 24,554 | 4 | Becaues I'm an inspector , and I can say anything I want to . | A very young Ginger Rogers trades quick quips and one liners with rival newspaper reporter Lyle Talbot in this 1933 murder mystery from Poverty Row film maker Allied Productions . The movie opens with a wealthy businessman taking a header from the roof garden of a high rise apartment house , or was it from a lover's ap... |
367,924 | 2,707,735 | 155,732 | 4 | It's a game they're playin ' , I'll play it . But they'll wish they never started . | One hour , eight minutes and twelve seconds into this flick and I decided it was pretty lame . That was right after Hopalong ( Chris Lybbert ) drops on his horse from a tree to rejoin the good guy posse . I was pretty mystified by the whole Hopalong Cassidy / Great Bar 20 gimmick which didn't translate into anything at... |
368,273 | 2,707,735 | 33,760 | 4 | Do I look pale ? . . . I feel pale . | Bela Lugosi portrays Charles Kessler , in denial over his wife's running off with another man years ago , and now missing or presumed dead since being involved in a car crash which killed her husband . Yet she's living secretly in the basement of the gardener's shed , believing she's dead , and occasionally strolling o... |
368,543 | 2,707,735 | 47,149 | 4 | You are a clever man doctor , perhaps too clever . | Alien beings from Astron Delta form an advance guard for a billion more who want to take over the Earth , and only one man stands in their way . It appears that Peter Graves had better accept this mission , or all of Earth will fall prey to hordes of giant insects and reptiles before becoming populated by an entire rac... |
367,978 | 2,707,735 | 47,139 | 4 | Never mind the monkey business Tamba ! | The Jungle Jim series of movies starring Johnny Weissmuller came to somewhat of an ambiguous close with " Jungle Man-Eaters " , as there were none of those to be found in the entire movie , unless you consider the lion that did battle with the penned bull in the early part of the story . It was an ignominious defeat fo... |
368,354 | 2,707,735 | 25,699 | 4 | My orders were to work alone . | Randy Bowers ( John Wayne ) comes upon the Half Way House at just the right time to take a break from the trail , and discovers a slew of dead bodies inside , among them a man he was supposed to deliver a message to - Ed Rogers , proprietor of the establishment . He's observed by the dead man's niece Sally ( Alberta Va... |
368,233 | 2,707,735 | 47,127 | 4 | I don't like dead men cluttering up my place . | Oh my God , where does one even start ! This is probably the most overtly ' serious ' film that you'll ever see and die laughing in the process . Instead of celluloid , legendary director Ed Wood used cardboard to film this extravaganza , and it's my contention that anyone who's ever seen a movie MUST watch this flick ... |
367,720 | 2,707,735 | 53,145 | 4 | Oregon awaits men of all sorts . . . | First off , Fred MacMuuray is not my idea of a Western action hero , so seeing him here is more of a novelty than anything else . The picture was reminiscent of the style of a Walt Disney flick , but there again , that convention is turned on it's head when a young boy is shot and killed by an Indian arrow near the fin... |
368,200 | 2,707,735 | 50,957 | 4 | She comes from the beginning of time , huge and indestructible . | Either something's wrong with me or I've been watching too many of these grade Z horror flicks ; I really didn't find this to be so bad . Now don't get me wrong , this clearly isn't anywhere near " Casablanca " territory , but it had all the elements of a creepy late night scare fest , especially if you're about nine o... |
367,619 | 2,707,735 | 89,185 | 4 | Hey , no crap Frank , what's the deal ? | OK , it boils down to this - a bunch of rednecks with shotguns are on the hunt for an alien life form , a one of a kind trailer trash sci-fi flick that defies any other characterization . It's the ' Outer Limits ' buzzed on Jack Daniels , and quite coincidentally , that's the way to see this movie . The alien itself wa... |
