Yeah, I thought that was pretty cool too. Especially the cannon shots and the train. It wasn’t special effects. They were really firing a cannon!

    I have no idea how that error came up, it’s weird. Fixed?
  • M (1931)
    Hmmm…. Lang’s M, even with subtitles is worth of your time.
  • Cold Room, The (1984)
    I don’t have a suspense category, so suspense means horror, Horror means scary. Suspense is usually scary.

    Did you need a web even harder to navigate, ;)

  • Sherlock Holmes (1954) – 15 complete episodes
    This is a known issue. The episodes are there, so you can skip through them with the arrow keys, but this flash player is messed up. It’s an issue I can’t cure by myself. I do have an inquiry in to appropriate tech support.
  • Plan 9 From Outer Space (1959)
    I think we could say the same thing about most of the Ed Wood films. Glenn or Glenda… Jailbait…. etc.

    Pretty impressive movie!!!

    Good quality re master, or whatever they call it in the film industry. The sound track and color “tinting” added a lot too.
    Great “special/real” effects. Bridges, dams, trains…

    VERY dangerous stunt-work by Keaton. Riding the cow-catcher , on the wheels etc.
    One slip and he would have been dead!
    I doubt they used stunt doubles back then, or were just starting to. Most of the shots showed him front-on so they couldn’t have used a double.

    This was a VERY elaborate movie for it’s day, with all the work with trains including dumping one in the drink. WOW!

    This is NOT a film to be overlooked.

    Makes for an interesting watch! I live right across the highway from where the General stopped.
