The Phantom was an awesome comic but they really stuffed the movie with Billy Zane. I used to give my father Phantom comics for fathers day.
Audie Murphy was the most decorated US soldier in WW2.If you Google you will be amazed at the "Fruit Salad " He has and most of it is for heroics. They made a movie about him it's called " To Hell and Back" and for a yank movie it's all true.Quote:

We were gobsmacked and tried to teach our old red dog Toby to do important stuff like that. Poor old Toby only wanted to follow us around and scratch his fleas. We concluded that Toby was not a horse anyway and so what would he know anyhow.
I still love those old sci-fi movies, you know the ones, It came from outer space, War of the worlds, When worlds collide, Rocket ship XM, Destination moon, The thing etc,. I collect them on DVD.
Few weeks ago I down loaded a classic called Alien Tresspass.
In it, a flying saucer had lucas electrical problems and crash landed on Earth. When the dust settled we learnt that a captive horrible glob thingy had escaped. We saw what a horrible glob it was when it made itself invisible. At all costs it had to be killed or captured before it multiplied and consumed all us Earthlings. It runs amok right from the start.
So our hero spaceman sets off to seek it out and of course he soon draws the attention of the locals who want to kill or capture him, because of the horrible stuff that is being carried out. Enter our local heroine who just happens to be the smartest kid on the block and so the hero and heroine set off together to save us. You can guess the rest, I wont spoil it by revealing the ending, eh.
Those old movies were made in about a week and were edited with warts and all. In this one our heroes are driving down the highway in the old pickup truck. The scene is shot ( quite a long one ) thru the winscreen and we can see in the background that vehicles keep appearing and disapearing
from view. It suggests that the scenes were shot at different times without regard for continuity. Typical old sci-fi stuff. In the westerns the shadows quite often changed direction.
I another scene the deputy sherriff meets some ladies and removes his hat before speaking to them. Instead of going over the brim to reach the crown
he runs into the brim and touches his face before he has a second attempt.
It suggests that the actor was not used to wearing a hat and to save time and budget, the scene was not reshot. You have to be sharp of course, to notice all this.
The movie has the look and feel of an early classic and is right up there with the best.
The thing is tho, the movie was made in 2009 !!!
Top stuff.
Keep pokin along.
Robert.
PS: I watched about ten minutes of that Billy Zane movie before I changed channels. Yuk.
Yes, I have it on DVD.Quote:

Mock Cisco or his horse 'Diablo' any further and there will be protests on the street.Quote:

I like my heroes quietly spoken and under stated ie. no sassy fringes down the sleeves of their cowboy shirts or fluffy chaps. :)
No worries, I'm wenting...Quote:
