In honor of my sister’s birthday, today’s monster great is really a character-turned-creepy Sssssnake-man from the film “Sssssss”.
Christopher Lee will always be my favorite Dracula. I have watched the entire Hammer Film library of Dracula movies, including the ones without Lee.

John Frankenheimer’s “Prophecy” was that environmental message film of the 70s where gigantic animal mutations roamed the peaceful American woods terrorizing loggers, locals and Talia Shire.
Marlon Brando is an icon, one of the greatest American actors on film. I fell in love with Brando one lonely Saturday afternoon while watching “On the Waterfront”.
I have always been an animation fan, having grown up on “Speed Racer”, “Kimba” and “Minashigo Hatchi”. While I find the current popular run of Hollywood animated film to be a bit tiring, the large international selection of short films are delightful.
“The Day of the Triffids” is a classic 1960s era sci/fi horror film. The movie begins with a bang, followed by mass blindness and a invasion of the mighty, vegetable-like Triffids. In between, there are a variety of characters that exemplify different degrees of the human condition, some worth dying or saving.
A quirky 7-11 worker that demands uniformity, but not conformity, finds his place under the sun in “Right Place,” a delightful very short 5+ minute film.
