I'll give you It Conquered the World: Lee Van Cleef, Beverly Garland and Peter Graves are all pretty good actors, and when Van Cleef isn't having idiotic one way conversations with his HAM radio it's sort of watchable. But Teenagers From Outer Space? Attack of the Giant Leeches? Night of the Blood Beast? These

Hokey face for a monster. Scary scary face for a cat.

Joke's on us.

As stated in the article, there have always been two different versions.

I can't find the books I used on Amazon and they're all collecting dust in a storage shed so I can't cite you names and authors, but a brief search turned up An Intro to Film Analysis by Ryan and Lenos and Film: A Critical Introduction by Prammagiore and Wallis. Both look like what you want, which is a step by step

I love you.
