It can all come out in the open now. I have been infatuated with Dudley Manlove as the alien Eros in PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE for decades.

Oh, and I meant to add that because of your recommendation, Liam Casey, I plan on giving the Interview show a shot, after all. I feel like I should apologize in advance in case you still don't like it. :) Your concerns are valid. And, based upon what I've read online, the changes to the source mate...

King Solomon's Mines (1950)

The Da Vinci Code (2006)

Next: A bad mother…

How about an Old West variation on suicide by cop? The Shootist (1976) where cancer-stricken J. B. Books (John Wayne) arranges one last gunfight with no expectation of surviving.

Destroy All Monsters is terrible. Not so fun fact: it is the lowest rated movie in the Criterion collection both on IMDB and on Letterboxd. Won't disagree with you. But it was the first Godzilla movie that I ever saw on the big screen and that was when I was the ideal age for such a movie. So it ge...

The Legend of Hell House (1973)
