That's a crime against steak.

This is unbelievable news. He was much too young.
Paxton was one of the best supporting actors you could get in a classic action movie. He always had charisma and humor to spare and was endlessly quotable. It's insane how many high profile films he was in. A great many of the most memorable films from the 80s and 90s,…

For a solo that long, he'll need a drum magazine.

I think they are all interesting films for different reasons. The Hammer take on The Mummy was more like a greatest hits package of Universal's Kharis series from the 1940s with dabs of what made Karl Freund's 1932 film so haunting. Christopher Lee does not speak in The Mummy but he proved more of how good a physical…

Absolutely! Edward Van Sloan really sold the part of the man "wise enough to believe in the supernatural," in both films. His battle of wits with both Lugosi and Karloff are highlights.

Shemp Howard?

It's a wonderful film. It's very slow but has this poetic quality that sets it apart from the rest of the pack. Some compare it to Dracula, but I find it to be a much more melancholic affair. The Mummy also contains one of the finest performances of Boris Karloff's career and that alone makes it essential.

"The only one in the entire canon with the true power to terrify." The opening of The Mummy(1932) is still one of the best the genre has to offer.

That headline made me smile.

One of America's most notable film critics with several interesting books on Hollywood luminaries. He always had such genuine enthusiasm for film and defended many genre pictures, especially the western. His defense of classic horror films and action cinema, I found endearing.
It always hurts when a fellow film…

Okay. Melford was originally offered the job. I thought I read that somewhere but am grateful for the reaffirmation. Florey had developed Frankenstein and even wrote the original screenplay. However, his vision, while heavily influenced by German expressionism, does little to humanize the Monster. I think Florey was…

I wish someone would find Lon Chaney's "A Blind Bargain," a genuine horror film with Chaney in the dual role of mad doctor and his ape man creation. It's apparently inspired by H.G. Well's "The Island of Dr. Moreau." While were at it, also would love to see Der Januskopf, the Jekyll and Hyde adaptation by F.W. Murnau…

I thought Robert Florey was originally slated for Frankenstein?

The first half hour of Dracula is great horror.

He was in The Day After.

The Day After and Threads are among the most joyful films ever made!

I'll defend the first four albums. I think they were solid slabs of early power metal. Eric Adam's always had a powerful voice and I dug the riffs and over the top imagery. However, as time went on it became a one trick pony and the band really did become that parody so many thought they were and still do.
To me, they…

I was just being cynical. Thank you, for the much needed laugh!

When you see the list of artists that never got a Grammy, it's kind of heartbreaking. Queen, The Who, Jimi Hendrix, Ronnie James Dio, Deep Purple etc.

Guy Speranza has a REALLY sad story. Such a voice.
