I Just Saw a Man Shoot Uncle Dave! Ain't No Place Safe Anymore
What kind of a sick bastard would shoot a man at a theme park? Now, I could understand if it was over ticket prices but trying to take somebody out just to cover up another crime is the most cowardly act I've ever seen.

Friz Freleng's Strange Case of "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde"
I'm a huge, and I mean huge fan and enthusiast of the Looney Tunes cartoons. I've watched the shorts religiously for close to 35 years, I have the various DVDs--hell, I've even created some DVDs. There was always something magical about the Looney Tunes. Whether it's the wackiness, the dialogue, the storylines, or Mel Blanc's iconic voicework, one thing's for sure: there's nothing like the Looney Tunes.

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Top Story - June 2024.
I've audited a night course in Horror and Scifi Film from a colleague who is a great expert in both genres and who selected interesting movies for the class to watch, representative of a particular sub-genre or cultural trend of the time. I enjoyed the course tremendously, watched the films I never saw before and had a chance to participate in insightful discussions with eager and engaged students.

¿Quién es "El Gallo"?
PART ONE: AN INTRODUCTION Try to remember the kind of September, When life was slow and oh, so mellow. Try to remember the kind of September, When grass was green and grain was yellow. Try to remember the kind of September, When you were a tender and callow fellow. Try to remember and if you remember, Then follow.

Spellbound (1945). Top Story - May 2024.
As part of my ongoing ambition to be a 1940s screenwriter, I have re-watched Hitchcock’s Spellbound. Of course, he is the master of suspense. During the 1940s and 1950s Hitchcock used his years of experience in the film industry to direct some of the most thrilling and frightening films of the era. They are full of heightened emotions, conflict and twisted plot-lines.

Shot of the Movie: Laura (1944)
This article is one of a series - Shot of the Movie - and may contain spoilers. In the early runtime of Laura (1944), you may be pulled in more by the dialogue than the visuals. I certainly was. Rich in subtext, with great banter between a no-nonsense detective and his elitist foil, this film's dialogue is sleek and has a rhythm that moves the film into its more interesting set pieces.
