Saturday Night at the Movies 3/18/17!

Who cares what picture we see?



Jay Mohr, that's who. And that leads to this as tonight's choice...














This fun film got unfairly overshadowed for its release when Phil Hartman was murdered. They made some changes to the film itself and then it took a hit when people were just not ready to watch Hartman being funny in his last performance.


I skipped the movie in theaters but did catch up with it on home video - and thought it was another marvelous Joe Dante movie. I just scooped it up on DVD from the bargain bin and we could be giving it a watch at any time - even this very evening - if you'd like to come check it out with me.

Saturday Night at the Movies 3/11/17!

Who cares what picture we see?



Robert Clary would, I do believe - so we will pick this one. And, because Blogger is getting really weird in what clips are available through the Blogger/YouTube interface - I'm going old school and just pasting in a link direct to the trailer in question.

I was always fascinated by the story of the Hindenburg disaster - because the day that it happened - May 6th, 1937 - just happens to be my father's date of birth!


Consequently, when this 70's disaster movie came out - I really wanted to see it - and my mom dutifully took me to Toler Cinema in Benton Illinois sometime over the Christmas school break in 1975 to see it.


This many decades on - I couldn't honestly tell you if the movie is any good - but I do have it on DVD ready to check out at any time - even this very evening if you feel like touching down at my house to watch it with me...

Throwback Thursday 3/9/17!

Just a quick video clip this week...


Actually, to be honest - this is an AWESOME video clip.

Not only do you have Yvonne Craig - TV's Batgirl - as a contestant on The Dating Game - but John Carpenter fans will most certainly recognize Bachelor Number 3...

Saturday Night at the Movies 3/4/17!

Who cares what picture we see?


Vic Morrow truly would have - despite his gruff exterior - so we will pick this one for this evening...











It's Japan's entry in the Star Wars sweepstakes of the late 70's - it's got imported American actors (Vic Morrow, Philip Casnoff); and an Asian superstar (Sonny Chiba) and it's packed with charming old school effects with that special Japanese flair in the ship miniatures.



The attempts at mythology are clumsy - with our heroes chosen to fight the bad guy by finding a space walnut in their belongings. But who could say no to a movie like this?



I have this one on a fine DVD and you could take this as a message to come watch it with me any time - even this chilly March evening!

Throwback Thursday 3/2/17!



I have to say William Castle looks surprised to be featured in this week's look to the past - but it is a post about one of his movies...
