“Predator”
Fabrizio del Wrongo writes: “Predator” is reminiscent of the Ford-Nichols “The Lost Patrol”: its slimness, seemingly lunkheaded at first, is what makes it feel kind of daring. The screenplay, by Jim and John Thomas, uses a familiar action-movie set-up as … Continue reading

“The Ghoul”
Fabrizio del Wrongo writes: Starring Boris Karloff and featuring a plot derived from “The Cat and the Canary,” this British Gaumont production seems like an attempt to mimic the success of Universal’s monster series. It’s only half-way successful. Karloff’s ghoul, … Continue reading

Paleo Retiree writes: Enjoyably cheesy, made-for-Showtime flick from 2005 that crosses a shipwrecked-on-a-Caribbean-island adventure story with a lot of heavy-breathing sexual suspense. For most of the movie, Billy Zane, Kelly Brook and Juan Pablo Di Pace (a fiery young Latin … Continue reading

“Carmen Comes Home”
Fabrizio del Wrongo writes: This sprightly, sweet-spirited comedy from 1951 was the first full-length Japanese film made in color.
