Thanks to this latest roundtable, it is with some embarrassment that I have to admit that I had not seen Son Of Frankenstein until just recently, despite it starring Basil Rathbone, Boris Karloff, and Bela Lugosi. It’s with further embarrassment that I admit that I have not seen that many classic horror movies from Universal Studios. And it’s with even further embarrassment that I must admit that until recent years, I hadn’t watched that many older films. For my long and tortured explanations for all of the above, read the review.

Gingerdead Man 2: Passion of the Crust (2008) barely spends any time with the murderous cookie because it’s too busy delivering a cutting send-up of a waning B-movie studio that cranks out killer doll movies. It’s like a valentine to me!

I saw Airplane! over the weekend, and so decided to finally take a look at the film that inspired it, Zero Hour! I’m sure Liz is working up a complete review of this flick for her series on disaster movies, so this is a quick glance mostly contrasting the original film with its comedic remake.
