1020. The bold Batman vs. Dracula review!

noreply@blogger.com (X7) — Wed, 07 Oct 2026 08:00:00 +0000

This is a made for video movie from The Batman series.

It is pretty good, but probably could have been...

Epoxies- Stop Looking at Me

Boy I love this band. They deserved to be much more successful.

Wish I could have seen them!

1019. The civil Space Ghost 16-18 review!

noreply@blogger.com (X7) — Tue, 06 Oct 2026 23:11:28 +0000

We wrap up season one with this episode, but there is one more episode!

Space Ghost for the win!

1018. The Wonders of The Wizard of Oz!

noreply@blogger.com (X7) — Tue, 06 Oct 2026 03:30:00 +0000

A short episode with a few thoughts about how great this movie is.

That is all.

Another slight interaction with Moe. I kinda feel sorry for Moe.

However, bullies do need to be dealt with properly.

1017. The innate Invisible Man Returns review!

noreply@blogger.com (X7) — Mon, 05 Oct 2026 08:00:00 +0000

Here is a direct sequel to the original movie, and it is pretty good overall.

Great cast and effects, and a brisk pace!

Dino Boy vs. Turu!

noreply@blogger.com (X7) — Sun, 04 Oct 2026 20:25:11 +0000

This sort of thing happened several times in the Dino Boy episodes. They remind older eyes of scenes in certain Ray Harryhausen movies, though Dino Boy was released the same year as One Million Year, BC.

And three years before The Valley of Gwangi! Talk about foreshadowing.

1016. The surprise Ultraman The Adventure Begins review!

noreply@blogger.com (X7) — Sun, 04 Oct 2026 08:00:00 +0000

A failed pilot for a US based Ultraman series. It works pretty well, even if very predictable.

Lots of potential here, though!

The Impossibles Puzzle

noreply@blogger.com (X7) — Sat, 03 Oct 2026 22:13:43 +0000

These sort of puzzles were popular, I think, from the 60s to the 70s. I never saw any of them that were this cool.

There's a Space Ghost one as well.

1015. The 1001 Arabian Nights Magoo review!

noreply@blogger.com (X7) — Sat, 03 Oct 2026 08:00:00 +0000

This is a pretty fun little movie, though very familiar. Some interesting wordplay, which is quite funny.

Mr. Magoo is a very odd hero, though.

The Invisible Man Returns (1940) Official Trailer

noreply@blogger.com (X7) — Fri, 02 Oct 2026 21:48:14 +0000

Some "nine" years later, the formally unknown brother of Griffin turns an innocent man invisible.

He has to prove his innocence before he goes mad, I tells ya!

1014. The dizzy Diamond Eye 01-04 review!

noreply@blogger.com (X7) — Fri, 02 Oct 2026 08:00:00 +0000

This is a very interesting Toho TV series. I have always wanted to see it subtitled!

Here are the first four episodes in review!

Le'ts all go to the Lobby

noreply@blogger.com (X7) — Thu, 01 Oct 2026 15:34:07 +0000

These were for double features, usually at the drive-ins.

They usually worked, too!

1013. The wacky World of Oz book review!

noreply@blogger.com (X7) — Thu, 01 Oct 2026 08:00:00 +0000

I cannot believe I have had this book for about 40 years now.

It is pretty thorough and complete, for the time.

Villain(s) of the Week- Zensei Majin(前世魔人)

noreply@blogger.com (X7) — Wed, 30 Sep 2026 16:01:04 +0000

From Villains Wiki- The Kaijin that appeared in the 1973 tokusatsu, Diamond Eye. They’re called Zensei Majin(前世魔人 Zensei majin) and are a clan of demons who nest in the evil spirit world. Almost all of them have the ability to disguise themselves as human beings while performing crimes in the human world in an attempt to conquer all of Asia. In the first seven episodes, Diamond Eye faced against a member from the seven different clans of the Zensei Majin in each episode. Afterwards, different members of the same clan would repeatedly appear with the exact same appearance as the ones he first fought. Back to me:

Toho made fun tokusatsu shows, but they were not quite as exciting as the Toei ones. Better effects and suits, though.

1012. The eye-conic Invasion of the Saucer-Men review!

noreply@blogger.com (X7) — Wed, 30 Sep 2026 08:00:00 +0000

This is a very memorable movie due to the titular aliens. I never did see it growing up, though.

The images were everywhere.

The Runaways- Cherry Bomb

noreply@blogger.com (X7) — Tue, 29 Sep 2026 16:04:33 +0000

I am still sort of surprised this band didn't make it bigger in the States, though hearing all the backstory, well...

They had so much attitude and COULD PLAY.

1011. The smart Space Ghost 13-15 review!

noreply@blogger.com (X7) — Tue, 29 Sep 2026 08:00:00 +0000

And yes, SHE returns for revenge!

Who? Find out!

This is the first time Dad is "up" in the polls. I wonder how Calvin learned about this and decided to use it against his dad.

Notice he was smart enough to leave Mom out of them.

1010. The languid Land that Time Forgot review!

noreply@blogger.com (X7) — Mon, 28 Sep 2026 17:35:23 +0000

Heh, once again I forgot to schedule this. If I ever get sent away for assignment, I will have to write things down...

I have talked about this movie more than once.

noreply@blogger.com (X7) — Sun, 27 Sep 2026 15:49:40 +0000

From Wiki- Invasion of the Saucer Men (U.K. title: Invasion of the Hell Creatures; working title: Spacemen Saturday Night), is a 1957 black-and-white comic science fiction/comedy horror film produced by James H. Nicholson for release by American International Pictures. The film was directed by Edward L. Cahn and stars Stephen Terrell, Gloria Castillo, Raymond Hatton, and Frank Gorshin. The alien costumes were designed by Paul Blaisdell, who played one of the creatures in the film, along with dwarf actor Angelo Rossitto and Blaisdell's friend Bob Burns III. Special effects were handled by Howard A. Anderson and Alex Weldon, and Don Ament was Art Director.^[1]

The screenplay by Robert J. Gurney Jr. and Al Martin was based on the 1955 short story "The Cosmic Frame" by Paul W. Fairman. Invasion of the Saucer Men was released as a double feature with I Was a Teenage Werewolf (1957).^[2] back to me:

I think I have seen this one or two times. It is sad that it is not available on disc these days. I am enjoying this viewing of it, though.

1009. The sane Santo vs. The Witches review!

noreply@blogger.com (X7) — Sun, 27 Sep 2026 08:00:00 +0000

Here's an oddball movie I have finally watched after having it in my collection for 20 plus years.

What do I think of it? Watch and find out!

WE WILL ALL GO TOGETHER WHEN WE GO (By Tom Lehrer)

noreply@blogger.com (X7) — Sat, 26 Sep 2026 16:31:07 +0000

A collaboration with Thomas Benjamin Wild Esq, Tom Carradine and Honest 2 Betsy. It is so well done and hilarious.

Also, a pertinent song even today (for one from 1959).

1008. The Sly Science Fiction Double Feature review!

noreply@blogger.com (X7) — Sat, 26 Sep 2026 08:00:00 +0000

This is a test. This is only a test. Comments are appreciated.

Rock and roll!

The Witches Attack Santo!

noreply@blogger.com (X7) — Sat, 26 Sep 2026 00:46:32 +0000

This is one oddball lucha movie. I have thoughts.

The DVD does not hold up well now, I'll tell you what.
