MMV: Thriller

Posted on October 28, 2013 by Morgan R. Lewis

It’s Monday, October 28, and that means it’s time for one last foray into Halloween-appropriate music videos. The month seems to have just flown by. We’ve had some videos inspired by Halloween itself, some inspired by spooky concepts, and one … Continue reading →

Posted on October 8, 2013 by Morgan R. Lewis

It’s always a pleasure to watch a film where the actors love their work. And when it comes to B-grade horror movies, few people loved their work as much — or were half as good — as Vincent Price and … Continue reading →

My Movie Alphabet

Posted on November 26, 2012 by Morgan R. Lewis

Mettel Ray has started an interesting blog-a-thon at her site: “My Movie Alphabet”. The concept is pretty simple and straightforward: for each letter of the alphabet, plus one for numbers and symbols, choose something movie-related that fits that letter and … Continue reading →

Dr. Phibes Rises Again

Posted on October 20, 2012 by Morgan R. Lewis

Since I reviewed The Abominable Dr. Phibes last Saturday, it seemed only appropriate to follow it up a week later with the 1972 sequel, Dr. Phibes Rises Again. Vincent Price stars in the title role again, and Robert Fuest is … Continue reading →

The Abominable Dr. Phibes

Posted on October 13, 2012 by Morgan R. Lewis

One of my minor regrets about last Halloween season was that I didn’t manage to get any Vincent Price in, as I had intended to do. I’m rectifying that this year, with The Abominable Dr. Phibes, a 1971 film directed … Continue reading →

Shock (1946)

Posted on August 25, 2012 by Morgan R. Lewis

I’ve commented before that when watching Vincent Price movies, at least other than those rare few where he’s playing a non-villainous character, I like to see what the Price-to-Murder time is; that is to say, how long it takes after … Continue reading →

The Great Mouse Detective

Posted on April 28, 2012 by Morgan R. Lewis

In the 1980s, Disney’s animation department was not in a particularly good place. The last few pictures hadn’t been particularly successful critically or commercially. Reportedly, there was even talk of abandoning the department (though it seems like Disney without animation … Continue reading →

Version vs. Version: Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol

Posted on December 5, 2011 by Morgan R. Lewis

Charles Dickens wrote A Christmas Carol in 1843, and while it wouldn’t be his last Christmas story, it’s far and away the most enduring of them, and today even surpasses his non-holiday works in popularity and recognition. It seemed like … Continue reading →

Dr. Goldfoot and the Girl Bombs

Posted on November 8, 2011 by Morgan R. Lewis

It shouldn’t be possible to be disappointed when you expect a movie to be bad. I knew after watching Dr. Goldfoot and the Bikini Machine that the sequel would no doubt be just as bad, and I decided to watch … Continue reading →
