THE APE On Blu-ray From Kino
The Hitless Wonder Movie Blog Posted by Dan Day, Jr. on Oct 25, 2020
In the late 1930s, Boris Karloff signed a deal with low-budget Monogram Pictures to star in a series of films concerning the exploits of a Chinese detective named Mr. Wong. Karloff's last film in the contract wound up being a horror film: 1940's THE APE, just released on Region A Blu-ray from read more
RETURN OF THE APE MAN
The Hitless Wonder Movie Blog Posted by Dan Day Jr. on Nov 12, 2017
RETURN OF THE APE MAN (1944) was the last of the infamous "Monogram Nine", a group of very low-budget horror films from that Poverty Row studio starring Bela Lugosi. It has nothing to do with THE APE MAN (1943), which was also released by Monogram and starred Bela. Both movies do have a number of si read more
Tarzan The Ape Man (1932)
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Apr 3, 2017
Despite being dated and marred by the imprint of imperialism, this initial entry of the well-remembered Tarzan serial of the 1930s and 4os, based on the works of Edgar Rice Boroughs, is a surprisingly gripping pre-code tale of perilous adventure. It feels a bit like a jungle cruise, a big game hunti read more

Warner Archive: Tarzan the Ape Man (1959) in Technicolor
Classic Movies Posted by KC on Jun 23, 2016
Early on I wondered what I was in for when watching MGM's 1959 Technicolor take on the Tarzan story. The bongo drums and blaring horns over the opening credits (composed by West coast jazz musician Shorty Rogers) belonged in a drama about teenage delinquents, making me unsure what effect the filmmak read more

I’m Not Here To Cause Any Trouble, I’m Just Here To Do The Ape Shuffle
Durnmoose Movie Musings Posted by Michael on Jan 11, 2015
I consider myself to be a pretty big fan of the original Planet of the Apes series. I have all of the original films on Blu-ray. I have a collection of the entire run of the TV series, I even have a full set of the Saturday morning animated series (which, for those of you who haven’t seen it, read more
Tarzan Thursday: Tarzan The Ape Man (1932)
The Movie Rat Posted by Bernardo Villela on Feb 21, 2013
Last year the character of Tarzan celebrated his 100th year in print. A serialized version of the story first appeared in 1912. A hardcover collection of Tarzan of the Apes first appeared in 1914. Being in the middle of the Tarzan centennial period it’s an opportune time to (re)visit many of t read more
The Ape (1940, William Nigh)
The Stop Button Posted by on Nov 18, 2011
I always forget awful films have always been made; I usually establish some arbitrary point in the mid-fifties when they started getting unwatchable. Then something like The Ape comes along and reminds me I need to set that point earlier. The film’s based on a play, which must be a hoot considering read more
Tarzan, the Ape Man (1932)
Hollywood Revue Posted by Angela on Mar 21, 2011
When traders Harry Holt and James Parker are in Africa about to embark on an expedition to find an infamous elephant graveyard, they’re surprised to find out they will be taking along a guest: James’ daughter Jane (Maureen O’Sullivan). Jane decided to pay her father a visit when read more
Greystoke: The Legend of Tarzan, Lord of the Apes (1984, Hugh Hudson), the extended version
The Stop Button Posted by on Oct 13, 2008
Greystoke ought to work. From the opening, it really seems like it might. It survives a massive narrative hiccup–switching perspective from young Tarzan to explorer Ian Holm. It establishes people in ape costumes as believable, sympathetic, feeling characters. It’s got beautiful cinemat read more
Tarzan the Ape Man (1932, W.S. Van Dyke)
The Stop Button Posted by on Sep 16, 2008
It’s hard to believe a movie called Tarzan the Ape Man is going to be boring, but this one drags on and on. After a solid opening twenty minutes, the movie stumbles and never regains its footing. The problem is with Tarzan. Johnny Weissmuller’s Tarzan obviously doesn’t speak Engli read more
