One of most charming and clever political satires of the ’60s almost didn’t make it to the screen intact. Director Theodore J. Flicker’s background in improv comedy provides cohesion to a wild scenario that pissed off everybody from the CIA…
Accept no substitutes! Aleksandr Ptushko’s fairy-tale folk hero saga is the real deal in medieval spectacle. When the nation calls, warriors rise from the steppes to defend against invaders, even if they have to defy royal authority. The fi…
I really wanted to love this movie, it’s right in my wheelhouse, but I just found it grating and exhausting. I haven’t seen it since the theatrical release. Perhaps I wasn’t in the mood that day, I’ll give it another shot.

This was my first time viewing Body Snatchers, I was tempted to stream because of Glenn’s mention of Warner Archive. I’m a fan (equally) of the previous two Body Snatcher movies. Body Snatchers has some good ideas & special effects however

Although ED WOOD is still my favorite Tim Burton film by a wide margin, this one is still worth seeing…especially for the insanely clever way Burton devised to annihilate the martians. It’s right up there with the Banana Boat Song sequence
