The original Wicker Man did not become known as "the Citizen Kane of horror films" overnight, or even during the horror boom of the 1970s. It vanished into relative obscurity for some time before its rediscovery, and look at that baby burn now!]]> http://calitreview.com/22444/feed 0 http://calitreview.com/21700 http://calitreview.com/21700#comments Sun, 20 Nov 2011 23:52:36 +0000 Dan Fields http://calitreview.com/?p=21700 http://calitreview.com/21700/feed 0 http://calitreview.com/21026 http://calitreview.com/21026#comments Thu, 20 Oct 2011 16:07:58 +0000 Dan Fields http://calitreview.com/?p=21026 http://calitreview.com/21026/feed 0 http://calitreview.com/20783 http://calitreview.com/20783#comments Fri, 14 Oct 2011 19:31:05 +0000 Dan Fields http://calitreview.com/?p=20783 http://calitreview.com/20783/feed 0 http://calitreview.com/19958 http://calitreview.com/19958#comments Mon, 10 Oct 2011 14:15:37 +0000 Marla Wick http://calitreview.com/?p=19958 http://calitreview.com/19958/feed 0 http://calitreview.com/20598 http://calitreview.com/20598#comments Fri, 07 Oct 2011 15:42:57 +0000 Dan Fields http://calitreview.com/?p=20598 Star Trek episodes, just for starters.

As with books, food, and other pleasures, there is a big difference between movies that are no good for you, and ones that are simply no good. Fortunately, a lot of you out there will enjoy this as one of the former.]]> http://calitreview.com/19291/feed 0 http://calitreview.com/18383 http://calitreview.com/18383#comments Thu, 14 Jul 2011 14:43:08 +0000 Dan Fields http://calitreview.com/?p=18383 http://calitreview.com/18383/feed 0 http://calitreview.com/18000 http://calitreview.com/18000#comments Wed, 29 Jun 2011 21:59:53 +0000 Dan Fields http://calitreview.com/?p=18000 Black Death exploit the historical context to take shots at organized religion with impunity. A select few try to balance the mistakes of the early church with the importance of faith over dogma - an approach that Season Of The Witch admittedly tried, but got lost too far up its own butt to realize. Black Death tends toward the latter type of story, but pushes its acid satire into fairly new territory.]]> http://calitreview.com/18000/feed 0 http://calitreview.com/17928 http://calitreview.com/17928#comments Tue, 28 Jun 2011 17:21:45 +0000 Dan Fields http://calitreview.com/?p=17928 Candyman sequels and retire the Hellraiser juggernaut with contented hearts, and enjoy a Clive Barker renaissance clad in all new colors.]]> http://calitreview.com/17928/feed 0 http://calitreview.com/17402 http://calitreview.com/17402#comments Wed, 08 Jun 2011 20:41:35 +0000 Dan Fields http://calitreview.com/?p=17402 Twilight cutting room, did the thought never stir that they could drag untold ranks of non-Twilight initiates into the theaters merely by cutting fan reactions into the regular trailers? I was working as a movie usher when New Moon came out, and I had grown people stepping out of ticket lines with money outstretched, offering outrageous sums of cash to buy my promotional New Moon t-shirt off my back. And believe me, it was not an excuse to peek at my trout belly. This is for real, people!
