Not the greatest movie, but real sad for any Hank fan! A lot of fiction, especially the driver of the Cadillac. The real driver was Charles Carr, a 17 year old Freshman at the University of Auburn, and not a dumb hick. Plus, he new Hank before the final drive and asked by Hank to drive. Carr just passed away, July 2nd.

I've been watching the old 1930s-1940s Charlie Chan movies, Hollywood's attempt to battle Asian racism and the yellow peril. A noble effort, but the attitudes of the time are still very apparent in every film.

That's a pretty good one.
Over the next day, I'm taping The House of Seven Corpses (1973), Dead of Night (1945), Scream of Fear (1961), The Two Faces of Dr Jeckyll (1961), Scream And Scream Again (1970), and Horror Hotel (1960).
I love....LOVE old horror films, which is why I have quite a collection built up.
They didn't need gore to scare people, it was the thought of x happening, or y about to occur that scared you, not somebody hacked up running around bleeding on everyone. That's NOT talent IMHO.
For Price, Lee, Cushing, and even back to Lugosi (albeit a short career), it was a look. A look that you were going to get it, and you wouldn't enjoy what was going to happen. :D

Funny that when they interviewed Keye Luke about the series(he was Charlie's #2 son), he said that he was skeptical about the effort but when he saw what it was really about; he said that Charlie was like a superhero to Asian kids of the day. He was happy to be part of it. There is something to be said about always being the smartest guy in the room. :p

Exactly true. Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee became good friends through being in so many movies together. Geez, Christopher Lee is still doing movies and has three in which he has appeared due to come out. He is 91 by the way. :p Oh and I saw The Ghost.

I predict that she'll win the Best Actress Oscar for her force-of-nature performance as the title character in Woody Allen's Blue Jasmine. It's his best film in years, and she's simply riveting in it.

Gravity. Very good special effects and good performances, but it's really just a simple "disaster in space" movie and some of the technical errors might be off-putting to those who have a strong interest in "real space".

Night Key with Boris Karloff.
A nice picture from his early years, about an inventor that makes security systems.
When he is wronged by an old friend, he decides to use his knowledge to put a hitch in the systems city wide.
