Not-So-Super Heroes – Doctor Strange (1978)
Durnmoose Movie Musings Posted by Michael on May 23, 2018
When I put up the poll for last month’s theme, one of the options was Not-So-Superheroes, a look back at some of the earlier attempts at bringing superheroes to both the big and small screen. The truth is, most of those efforts were largely unsuccessful and in some cases they were utterly horr read more

From Heavies to Heroes Interviews with Classic Stars from the Golden Age of Hollywood Ever since Humphrey Bogart went from being a gangster-type heavy in the 1930s to being a tough guy anti-hero in the 1940s, actors have been able to argue that glamour boy looks aren’t necessary to being a movie lea read more

Different Kinds of Heroes: "A Distant Trumpet" and "Four Feathers"
Classic Film & TV Cafe Posted by Rick29 on Aug 28, 2016
A Distant Trumpet (1964). I recognize that Troy Donahue's thespian skills were limited. Yet, in the right role--such as one of the naive lovers in A Summer Place--he performed more than satisfactorily. As I've noted before, Warner Bros. didn't do Troy any favors by typecasting him as a who read more

Classic Television Thursday #44 – The Pulp Heroes (A Proposal)
Durnmoose Movie Musings Posted by Michael on Oct 8, 2015
(A couple of months ago, I was in my local McKay’s bookstore and happened across a handful of Shadow pulps for less than $1 apiece. I’ve had a lot of fun reading – or in a couple of cases re-reading – them, and that’s what led to this post.) Something different this wee read more
POW! Classic Film Stars Reimagined as Comic Book Heroes
Cinematically Insane Posted by Will McKinley on Jul 20, 2015
As Hollywood maps out a future almost entirely reliant on superhero movies – the soft opening of Marvel’s ANT-MAN notwithstanding – it’s important to remember that comic books were not always on Hollywood’s A-list. In their first live-action screen incarnations in the 1940s, read more
Saluting the 'Crew,' the unsung heroes of L.A. music
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on Mar 19, 2015
While Carole Lombard never fancied herself as much of a singer, music was a key part of her life, including her relationship with Russ Columbo, a vocalist, composer and bandleader whose bizarre, premature death in 1934 robbed the music world of a major talent. Even before the end of the 1920s, when read more

Kelly’s Heroes (1970)
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Nov 14, 2014
The lure of gold proves tempting enough to bring many men on board for this ludicrous mission. Among the gang you have Telly Savalas, the always whining Don Rickles, Donald Sutherland, Gavin Macleod, and Stuart Margolin. Overall the cast was a fun mix of stars of the big and small screens.
