I have never forgiven critics for destroying Elizabeth Berkley's career. Her crime? In SHOWGIRLS she gave exactly the performance the movie needed and exactly the performance her director wanted. That's what an actress is supposed to do.

What I've noticed is that people with very conventional mainstream tastes are hyper-sensitive and defensive about those tastes.
Try suggesting that maybe there have been better film-makers than Steven Spielberg. People react with rage.

Logan’s Run was released in 1976, towards the end of the golden age of grown-up sci-fi movies. It has its problems but I think its portrayal of a vulgar empty future was quite prescient.

Apparently critics really can't understand that. And Berkley nailed Nomi's breathtaking shallowness so perfectly. Of course it was obvious that most critics had decided they hated SHOWGIRLS before even seeing the movie. They were really gunning for that movie.

Movies destroyed by hostile critics. I have also never seen HEAVEN'S GATE (1980).Given that it runs for 3 hours and 36 minutes (that's longer than a Scorcese film!) I probably won't see it.
What's your view? Is it really that terrible? Is it worth seeing?

It! (1967). Roddy McDowall is wonderfully unhinged as a museum curator and occultist who discovers that an old statue is a golem, which can bring him the power he has always craved. Has some nice off-the-wall moments. Good stuff.

Alberto De Martino’s The Antichrist (photographed by Joe D’Amato) is a 1974 Italian Exorcist rip-off. It throws just about every satansploitation cliché you can think of at the viewer and it’s great fun. The dream sequence is the highlight.

It depresses me when people find out I like old movies and they say that they like old movies too. Then I find out that for them an old movie is one made in 2008. For an old movie is one made in 1970, or 1955, or 1932.

Barbarella remains Jane Fonda's finest moment on celluloid.
Happy Birthday American actress Jane Fonda, now 85 years old. Barbarella in Barbarella 1968.

One of Bava's best. And maybe the best sci-fi/horror movie of all time.

I was quite besotted by the Alexandria Quartet as a young 'un. Do people still read Lawrence Durrell? They should.

THE BARBARIAN is an entertaining movie but the Myrna Loy bathing scene is what makes it a must-see movie. I just love pre-code Myrna Loy.

Myrna Loy gives one of the all-time great bad girl performances in The Mask of Fu Manchu. A wonderful movie but Loy makes it a must-see.

'An Angel for Satan' is top-tier gothic horror with some nice psychological touches. A movie that deserves more love.
Camillo Mastrocinque's 'An Angel for Satan' (1966) was Barbara Steele's final Italian Gothic Horror film.

I suspect we'll see truly awful horror films from these companies, with none of the magic possessed by their 60s and 70s movies. It would be better to let Hammer and Amicus rest in peace.
Amicus Productions has been resurrected and Hammer Films is under new stewardship. Are we about to see the dawn of a new golden era of UK horror?

If I like an actor's work I'll go out of my way to avoid reading or watching interviews with them - it's so disillusioning to discover that they're almost always empty-headed narcissists.

John Frankenheimer's Seconds (1966), a scifi movie about getting a second chance in life, and about why getting a second chance in life can never work. Rock Hudson gives his career-best performance. A strange disturbing and extremely good movie.

Jean-Luc Godard's Alphaville (1965) is a weird disorienting dystopian sci-fi secret agent hardboiled pulp arthouse B-movie homage movie. The plot makes no sense but it's a strangely enjoyable oddball little movie quite unlike any other.

It continues to astonish and sadden me just how few people today are even aware of our pop culture heritage. So many people have never seen a movie made before the late 90s and have never read a pre-21st century book.
Rewarding facts of life. At the tender age of 56, as a film programmer for the national cinematheque (Rome), I find myself thanked for showing Rogers & Astaire movies. I thought anyone would know them by heart, whereas the truth is very few people do. 1/3

I hated this movie the first time I saw it. I kept comparing it to the 1942 movie. I saw it again years later and decided to approach it as a totally separate movie with no real connection to the original. And now I love the '82 CAT PEOPLE just as much as the '42 film.
Cat People (1982)
What do you rate this classic 80s horror remake out of ten?

I think it's hilarious when people complain about unnecessary scenes in movies. Everything in movies is unnecessary. Movies are unnecessary.
It's the unnecessary things that make life worth living.

Does anyone else remember the 1998 British TV series ULTRAVIOLET? A sci-fi series about vampires. I don't remember much about it other than that it was quite dark. It's available on DVD. In fact I own it on DVD. Maybe I should rewatch it?

That's why it's vital to buy physical media. Censorship on streaming platforms is going to become more and more common and more and more draconian.
Disney has apparently censored The French Connection by removing a line of offensive dialogue without notice, warning, or statement. This censorship carries over to The Criterion Channel and theatrical screenings.

Yes. Most critics cannot understand a movie unless its meaning is blindingly obvious. They cannot appreciate it if it's approach is even slightly unfamiliar. Critics are gatekeepers for conventionality and mediocrity.

Do you often rewatch movies? It's something I find myself doing more often. I think that a really good movie is always even better on a second viewing. I find I get much more out of a good movie on a repeat viewing. If it's a really good movie I'll even watch it a third time.

I'm a huge Corman fan. His Poe movies were his greatest achievements. They're among the gothic horror greats.

Antonio Margheriti's The Long Hair of Death is a superb 1964 Italian gothic horror film featuring a great Barbara Steele performance. The story may or may not involve the supernatural. Creepy and moody, ticks all the right gothic horror boxes.

Luigi Cozzi’s 1983 Hercules, not your average sword & sorcery movie. It’s one of the most truly bizarre experiences that cinema has to offer. Boasts bears hurled into orbit and Hercules battling gigantic kids' toys.
