Monsters and Matinees: Creature Feature Fans owe a Debt to ‘The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms’

Movie

Kreaturen-Feature-Fans sind „The Beast from 20.000 Fathoms“ etwas schuldig Mit seinen dicken Beinen, schützenden Schuppen, dem stacheligen Rücken und den laserscharfen Zähnen ist der 200 Fuß lange fiktive Rhedosaurus eine furchteinflößende Kreatur. Als Titelfigur von Das Biest aus 20.000 Faden (1953) trägt es einen der unterhaltsamsten und wichtigsten Filme der Horror-/Science-Fiction-Geschichte. Wie wichtig? Es ist der Film,...

Film Noir Review: The Drowning Pool (1975)

Movie

"Oh, sometimes I do better than others." Paul Newman is the movie star par excellence. Some might have been more iconic or quotable, but no actor has managed to rival Newman's flawless blend of good looks, talent and longevity. He emerged from the mold of classic Hollywood in the 1950s and yet helped break the mold of...

Silents are Golden: The One-Of-A-Kind Harry Langdon

Movie

Silents are Golden: The one and only Harry Langdon For a long time, most silent comedians were pretty much the same "guy." Their looks may vary, and some had more clearly "dumb" personalities than others, but virtually all of them had a similar level of excitable, leaping, insidious energy.

Monsters and Matinees: In search of the Yeti

Movie

Horrorfilme der 1950er Jahre nährten sich in gewisser Weise von den Ängsten der realen Welt – es fühlt sich so falsch an zu sagen – viele von uns haben es genossen. Paranoia über Atomkrieg und Kommunismus, neben anderen Bedrohungen, wurde in eine Horrorfilmindustrie großer Käfer (Ihnen!), radioaktive Schrecken (Tag, an dem die Welt endete) und außerirdische Angriffe...
