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/22004 http://calitreview.com/22004#comments Wed, 30 Nov 2011 00:04:39 +0000 Julia Rhodes http://calitreview.com/?p=22004 http://calitreview.com/22004/feed 18 http://calitreview.com/21847 http://calitreview.com/21847#comments Mon, 21 Nov 2011 19:30:32 +0000 Julia Rhodes http://calitreview.com/?p=21847 http://calitreview.com/21847/feed 3 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/21594 http://calitreview.com/21594#comments Mon, 14 Nov 2011 22:50:39 +0000 Julia Rhodes http://calitreview.com/?p=21594 http://calitreview.com/21594/feed 6 http://calitreview.com/21443 http://calitreview.com/21443#comments Mon, 07 Nov 2011 20:23:01 +0000 Julia Rhodes http://calitreview.com/?p=21443 http://calitreview.com/21443/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/20903 http://calitreview.com/20903#comments Mon, 17 Oct 2011 23:00:40 +0000 Julia Rhodes http://calitreview.com/?p=20903 http://calitreview.com/20903/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/19191 http://calitreview.com/19191#comments Fri, 12 Aug 2011 20:02:31 +0000 Dan Fields http://calitreview.com/?p=19191 http://calitreview.com/19191/feed 0 http://calitreview.com/18804 http://calitreview.com/18804#comments Tue, 26 Jul 2011 12:32:23 +0000 Jem Bloomfield http://calitreview.com/?p=18804 http://calitreview.com/18804/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/16432 http://calitreview.com/16432#comments Mon, 16 May 2011 18:42:15 +0000 Dan Fields http://calitreview.com/?p=16432 http://calitreview.com/16432/feed 0 http://calitreview.com/16351 http://calitreview.com/16351#comments Thu, 12 May 2011 16:26:41 +0000 Dan Fields http://calitreview.com/?p=16351 http://calitreview.com/16351/feed 0 http://calitreview.com/14225 http://calitreview.com/14225#comments Fri, 18 Feb 2011 06:33:12 +0000 Dan Fields http://calitreview.com/?p=14225 http://calitreview.com/14225/feed 0 http://calitreview.com/13562 http://calitreview.com/13562#comments Tue, 11 Jan 2011 04:08:48 +0000 Dan Fields http://calitreview.com/?p=13562 http://calitreview.com/13562/feed 1 http://calitreview.com/13410 http://calitreview.com/13410#comments Fri, 31 Dec 2010 15:27:00 +0000 Dan Fields http://calitreview.com/?p=13410 http://calitreview.com/13410/feed 0 http://calitreview.com/13309 http://calitreview.com/13309#comments Tue, 21 Dec 2010 20:25:18 +0000 Jem Bloomfield http://calitreview.com/?p=13309 Port Mortuary, her latest novel about the forensic pathologist Kay Scarpetta, uses a new narrative device to explore fresh plot territory.
