Vampire Hunter!

Posted by & filed under BLATHER, Comics, Film, Thanks.

  This Sunday I’m thankful for Captain Kronos. I first learned of Captain Kronos: Vampire Hunter from an interview Grognardia did with James Raggi eight months ago. (I’ve come to really appreciate the fact that as much as new films and shows are constantly being churned out, there is an, for all intents and purposes,… Read more »

  This past Sunday I’m thankful for discovering the Zatoichi TV Series. A few years ago I picked up the box set of Zatoichi movies from Criterion during a flash sale. They’re so very good! If you get the chance, I highly recommend you check out that TV series from the ’70s as well. So… Read more »

A Very British Civil War

Posted by & filed under BLOG, Film, Thanks.

  This Sunday I’m thankful for 1938 A Very British Civil War. It’s been almost 20 years since I followed along from the start.

Welcome to the Second Chapter* in my ongoing comparative literary analysis of The Hobbit and The Five Fingers. [*Chapter 1]

Saturday Morning Khartoums!

Posted by & filed under BLOG, Film.

While not quite as perfect a back-to-back double bill as the Zulu flicks, Khartoum and The Four Feathers are still chocolate and peanut butter. At almost four and-a-half hours, if you start early they’ll carry you through to lunch! If you get up late I guess you can watch the first movie then break for… Read more »
