The Films: (short reviews- no spoilers!)

Dragonwyck:
More a gothic romance with an Edgar Allen Poe edge, than an outright horror film, this is the film that really put Vincent Price on the map. Price plays Nicholas Van Ryn, wealthy Lord proprietor of the Dragonwyck estate in New York's Hudson Valley in the 1840s. He rules Dragonwyck as a poltroon, with tenant farmers paying him rent and part of their crops. Von Ryn invites his very distant cousin Miranda Wells (Gene Tierney) as an au pair to his daughter. However, Von Ryn is cold to his daughter and his wife, whom he despises for not giving him a son to carry on at Dragonwyck. He also finds his world turned upside down and political changes in New York threatens to extinguish the old Dutch ways of fuedal-like rule. When his wife dies mysteriously, Miranda returns home for a time, but Nicholas persues her and marries her- bringing her back to Dragonwyck. It is there that Miranda will eventually learn more about her husband, but will what will happen when she learns his terrible secret?
Very much in the vien of other classic gothic romance films like Rebecca or Wuthering Heights, Dragonwyck is a great classic film that has finally made it to DVD in a great edition. Price is excellent as Von Ryn, and although you can see a touch of his later Poe inspired work, here he is an excellent lead, along with an equally great Tierney. Walter Houston also gives and excellent supporting performance as Miranda's dour "Yankee farmer" father.
Extras include: A featurette about the film: A House of Secrets: Exploring Dragonwyck, commentary, two Radio show versions of the film, still galleries and trailer.

Dr. Renault's Secret:
Secret is a remake of the 1927 horror melodrama The Wizard, and based on a novel. A young Doctor Larry Forbes arrives in a small French village as the new sawbones, and becomes the houseguest of a quaint Dr. Renault and his niece, Madeline. Dr. Renault also has a bizarre manservant named Noel, who resembles more like an ape than a man. When some mysterious murders occur in the village, no one is sure who is the culprit, though the villager's have their suspicions. While trying to discern the truth, Dr. Forbes discovers a shocking secret about his benefactor and his work. But that is only one of Dr. Forbes' problems, as Madeline has been kidnapped by a local thug.
Very much in the vien of similar films of the period, and even double billed at the time with Fox's The Undying Monster (from last year's set). The cast is great, especially J. Carroll Naish as Noel, who in many ways rivals some of Lon Chaney's work. Very much a great B mystery/horror film.
Extras include: Original featurette about the film: By The Book: Horror, Suspense, and Literary Inspiration, Restoration Comparison, Trailer, Interactive Pressbook, and Still Gallery.

Chandu the Magician
Including some of the best, cutting edge graphics for it's time, Chandu is based on the radio serial of the same name. Having mastered the magic of Yogi's of India, Chandu has attempted to keep the secret of his powers from his family and be a force for good (equivilant of a latter super-hero's secret identity). Unfortunately when his sister's scientist husband Robert Regent is held hostage by the evil villan Roxor (played by Bela Lugosi- and who wants Regent to tell him the secret of his death ray), Chandu must reveal himself and fight Roxor to save him.
It may sound cheesy - but it's actually quite good, and inspired a film serial with Bela Lugosi playing Chandu. The effects are great (for the time) and while Lowe is low key as Chandu, it's still great fantasy adventure.
Extras include: a commentary by Lugosi biographer Gregory William Mank, Masters of Magic: The World of Chandu featurette, Chandu the Magician Radio Serial Episode, Restoration Comparison, Trailer and Still Gallery.


Audio/Video:
The Black and white on Dr. Renault and Dragonwyck is excellent. Being an older film, Chandu suffers a little more in the video department, but is done from the best remaining source material. The audio is excellent and please take the opportunity to listen to the commentaries and especially the radio shows included as extras.

The Bottom Line:
This is a fun set- and it's light on the horror stuff- more mystery fantasy and gothic, Poe stuff. The set is surprisingly full of extras and I say suprisingly, because you can pick it up for a song. Amazon currently has going for less than $15 bucks without shipping. It's a steal and you get some great flicks. A low cost treat for a eerie evening!

Review Rating:
Individually rating the films and the features, Fox Horror Classics Vol. 2 earn the following:
Dragonwyck: A
Dr. Renault's Secret: B+
Chandu the Magician: B+
Extras: A+

Overall Rating:
We give Fox Horror Classics, Vol. 2: 4 stars (Groucho glasses).








That's all folks! I told you it would be quick! Now put a movie in and enjoy the rest of your plundered treats from the kid's candy. Oh, and Happy Halloween!

Oh, I know it's a penny here and a penny there, but look at me. I worked myself up from nothing to a state of extreme poverty.

Of course you do. You like being waited on - I could see tonight it was your first time. You like peaches out of season. You like the feel of silk sheets against your young body... And one day you'll wish with all your heart you'd never come to Dragonwyck!



trick or treat 2008

One of my all time favorite Halloween cartoons; starring Donald Duck, Trick or Treat!



Happy Halloween from everyone at The Shelf!

Oh, I know it's a penny here and a penny there, but look at me. I worked myself up from nothing to a state of extreme poverty.

Double double, toil and trouble. Fire burn and cauldron bubble. Eye of needle, tongue of shoe, hand of clock that points at two... This is the real thing you know, right out of Shakespeare.

we can win together...

This is some great WWII era Movietone newsreel footage. Back when the troops, the effort and the challenge and danger of the enemy was understood. And the war effort and fight for freedom was supported and advocated by Hollywood stars.



Oh, I know it's a penny here and a penny there, but look at me. I worked myself up from nothing to a state of extreme poverty.

A man must have integrity. He's not entitled to free thought unless he's willing to pay the price of admitting it. Dare not admit what I believe, then I have no right to believe it


round the corner...

Ok, ok, ok- I get it. I've gotten not only comments, but a couple of emails asking about the lack of Shelf Halloween Madness stuff this year. Yes, I know it's been sparse around here, but let me explain. First off, our other-than-Shelf lives are quite hectic right now, but a big reason is the nasty bronchitis-pneumonia-yucky-sinusinfection-endoftheworld illness that had me down for almost three weeks. Well, that and the election.

Yeah- the election. To me there is way too much scary stuff going on right now in real life, that the adult in me is paying attention to so many things, and the kid in me is having a hard time coming out to play. That being said, it doesn't mean that I haven't been trying to get into the Halloween spirit. This year, there have been a lot more blogs and website doing the Halloween countdown thing, whereas in years past the go-to guys were X-Entertainment, RetroCrush and a few of us on the blog side. Over the years there have been many more joining the fun and they are doing some great stuff. So allow me to direct your attention to some great Halloween Countdown sites that I have been visiting almost daily. You can find most of them already listed on the Shelf Community list on the sidebar.

Cool-Mo-Dee. I just discovered this Blog not too long ago, and I have to say I am impressed by the sheer output. But that's not what makes this blog a Halloween Countdown Superstar. Nope. If you've been wanting to find a great place for Halloween cartoon specials or themed episodes, this is the place to go- because he's posting them EVERY DAY. Not only that- he's got fun audio- monster comic book covers and downloads and more. If you aren't in a Halloween mood by the time you get done, well you just might have been too overwhelmed by politics this year. And that's scary indeed.

Wonderful Wonderblog. If eclectic and Halloween fun is your thing, then head over to Wonderful Wonderblog for a virtual "kiddie mix" of Halloween treats like novelty songs, Candy horoscopes and something I haven't seen in years- Scholastic's Dynomite magazine Halloween issue from 1980. I actually remember this from school! Full scans of the whole issue - check it out.

Neato Coolville. Looking for Vintage Halloween ads, costumes, freebies and everything else that goes with childhood, look no further than Neato Coolville. And for an added bonus, he's got a whole list of other blogs doing the Halloween countdown thing. We're highlighting the best of the best here, but take a chance and check some of the other places out. But don't forget to make a trip to Neato Coolville.

Plaid Stallions. Child of the 70s and 80s? Then this is a must stop for you. Plaid Stallions has been posting images of vintage ads, toys and clothes from our childhood for a long time. They've upped the ante with Halloween. The post that absolutely kicked it into overdrive for me was a post with an image of a toy that I loved as a kid and haven't seen since: Tomy's Mighty Men and Monster Maker. Do you remember- the set where you had plates of outlines of heads, torsos and legs and feet you could mix and match and then run a pencil over a sheet of paper to make a rubbing? I wish I still had this, but thanks to Plaid Stallions for the ad image!

Mostly Ghostly Music Sharing Blaaahhhggg! Dave has been post great Halloween songs and audio for a long time-- just to share the love. And he's been doing a great job, including this album I used to have: The Thrilling Chilling Sounds of The Haunted House from Disney. Lately he's been having some difficulty with share services, but he's still been cranking out the halloween goodness. So go over and show Dave some love. Tell 'em Uncle Loophole sent ya'.

Rakin/Bass Historian. Rick Goldschmidt is the go-to guy for all things Rakin/Bass. Being a hardcore RB fan, I check his site out regularly. Sure there is Christmasy stuff, but don't forget about Mad Monster Party!

Finally, TCM's movie blog, Movie Moorlocks and Another Old Movie Blog looks at classic movies and Halloween, with some fun countdowns on Moorlocks and some bonus vintage Halloween cartoons over at Jacqueline's place. Check 'em out.

And don't forget the all time Halloween place- X-Entertainment!
UPDATE: Opps - forgot to add another site that has become a daily favorite and they post Candy reviews as well: Branded in the 80s- the go-to site for 80s kids!

Stay tuned for more DVD reviews, a few more Halloween posts and more Shelf madness!

Oh, I know it's a penny here and a penny there, but look at me. I worked myself up from nothing to a state of extreme poverty.

Wolfie, you old dog! Ha ha. This convention is going to be a howling success.

preview: wb gangster collection, vol.4


Continuing last week's roundup of some must have titles hitting shelves last week, today we preview Warner Brothers Gangster Collection, Vol. 4. Out of all of the many WB Box sets that have come out in the last 5 years, The Thin Man set, The Film Noir series and the Gangster series ranks at the top of my list as some of their best collections. The last 3 entries in the Gangster series did not disappoint and this one looks to be just as worthy an entry!

The films included in the set are: The Little Giant, Larceny, Inc., Invisible Stripes, Kid Galahad and The Amazing Dr. Clitterhouse. The films star some of the great Warner Brother gangster and action headliners of all time: George Raft, Humphrey Bogart, and lots of Edward G. Robinson (James Cagney-lite this go round). And the plots run the gamut, almost stretching the "Gangster" meme a bit. Methinks that their Tough Guys moniker for Vol.2 was more apprapros and they should've stuck with it. But it doesn't matter- it's all semantics when in comes to some great vintage WB tough guy flicks. Invisible Stripes is a tough-nosed prison programmer and Kid Galahad (as one would devine from the title) is a boxing/gambling/double-crossing themed film. The Little Giant, Larceny, Inc and The Amazing Dr. Clitterhouse are gangster themed comedies starring the suprisingly funny Edward G. Robinson (remember Brother Orchird from the last set? One of my favorites!)

And as always WB lays on thick a fabulous wealth of extras including an all new documentary: Public Enemies: The Golden Age of the Gangster Film, the always welcome Warner Night at the Movies collection of shorts, commentaries and more. Hopefully, we'll have a full review shortly. Suffice it to say, if you are a fan- you are looking into picking it up. Classic movie fans know that these sets are the tops and can expect more of the same.

Coming up: More Halloween fun and new week of releases.

Oh, I know it's a penny here and a penny there, but look at me. I worked myself up from nothing to a state of extreme poverty.

They always put your picture in the paper when they grab ya, but they never do when they spring ya.

vdh is spot on again...

From Victor Davis Hanson's most recent article, The Campaign Takes a Strange Turn on Work and Days via Pajamas Media:

"Why do so many conservatives think that an Obama-elect might be prove a centrist, and so why do they use phrases like “I pray” or “I hope” that Obama might turn out, well, not to be Obama?
Jimmy Carter did exactly what he promised: raised taxes, grew the government, told the world he had no inordinate fear of communism, trashed our allies as retrograde right-wing authoritarians—and we got the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, the Iranian hostage-taking (have we forgotten that the “Great Satan” originated as a slur against Nobel laureate Carter?), communism in Central America, the Cambodian Holocaust, and spikes of 12% inflation, 18% interest, and 7% unemployment.
For his first two years (until 1994 Gingrich’s ‘Contract with America’ revolution, and Dick Morris’s ‘triangulation’), Bill Clinton, as promised, raised taxes, raised spending, tried to ram through socialized medicine, and by fiat wanted to force the military to accept those openly gay.
So why would any conservative think that Obama—friend of Ayers, Khalidi, Meeks, Pfleger, and Wright, veteran of mysterious campaigns in which rivals in 1996 and 2004 simply dropped out or were forced out, erstwhile advocate of repealing NAFTA, controlling guns, stopping new drilling and nuclear plants, zealot for bringing all troops home by March 2008, advocate of a trillion dollars in new spending, and raising the tax burden on the 5% who now pay 60% of the aggregate income taxes, supporter of more oppression studies and racial reparations—would not likewise try to govern as he has lived the last 20 years?
Why would anyone think that an Obama would not wish to enact the visions of those who first backed him—the Moveon.org crowd, ACORN, The Huffington Post, Sen. Reid, Rep. Pelosi, a Chris Dodd or Barney Frank—rather than the late pilers-on like Colin Powell or Scott McClellan? We should remember that, unlike the cases of Carter and Clinton, Obama would have both houses of Congress, and a (Republican) precedent of the federal government intervening into the free market, in the manner of 1932."


It is worth reading the whole thing. As always, wise words from Hanson.

UPDATE:
Also along the same lines, check out this article from Mark R. Levin, The Obama Temptation over at The Corner on National Review:

"Obama's entire campaign is built on class warfare and human envy. The "change" he peddles is not new. We've seen it before. It is change that diminishes individual liberty for the soft authoritarianism of socialism. It is a populist appeal that disguises government mandated wealth redistribution as tax cuts for the middle class, falsely blames capitalism for the social policies and government corruption (Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac) that led to the current turmoil in our financial markets, fuels contempt for commerce and trade by stigmatizing those who run successful small and large businesses, and exploits human imperfection as a justification for a massive expansion of centralized government. Obama's appeal to the middle class is an appeal to the "the proletariat," as an infamous philosopher once described it, about which a mythology has been created. Rather than pursue the American Dream, he insists that the American Dream has arbitrary limits, limits Obama would set for the rest of us — today it's $250,000 for businesses and even less for individuals. If the individual dares to succeed beyond the limits set by Obama, he is punished for he's now officially "rich." The value of his physical and intellectual labor must be confiscated in greater amounts for the good of the proletariat (the middle class). And so it is that the middle class, the birth-child of capitalism, is both celebrated and enslaved — for its own good and the greater good. The "hope" Obama represents, therefore, is not hope at all. It is the misery of his utopianism imposed on the individual.
Unlike past Democrat presidential candidates, Obama is a hardened ideologue. He's not interested in playing around the edges. He seeks "fundamental change," i.e., to remake society. And if the Democrats control Congress with super-majorities led by Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid, he will get much of what he demands. The question is whether enough Americans understand what's at stake in this election and, if they do, whether they care."

Take time to read the whole thing. (Thanks and Hat Tip to Laura for the article)


Oh, I know it's a penny here and a penny there, but look at me. I worked myself up from nothing to a state of extreme poverty.

Yet Conservatism is pretty simple, and is based on just a few principles. Human nature remains constant, and thus is predictable across time and space. There is a certain humility that comes with conservatism, since the ways of the world, despite the technological chaos, are constant.



it's a classic look...


I don't understand what's so funny about the look myself....

looney tunes vol. 6


Today, we shine the media roundup spotlight on a title that is near and dear to my heart: Looney Tunes: The Golden Collection, Vol. 6!

Lots of great titles on this one and we've been informed that this is the last Golden Collection title. Not to fear, as Jerry Beck as said that Warner's will continue to release Looney Tunes on DVD, but I suppose under a different title or collection. While he can't say much about it, he has confirmed that WB does not intend to "double dip" with it's releases- which is good news indeed! In fact why don't you check out an interview with Jerry about the release of Vol. 6 over at Cartoon Brew.

Here is the disc break-down: (hat tip to Amazon for the info)

Shorts have been restored and many original title cards (like the one at the top) have been restored as well. I am looking forward to so many of these and adding them to my collection, especially alot of the WW II era toons. Also included on the discs, as always are a TON of extras: All-new documentary profile of Mel Blanc: The Man of a Thousand Voices; lots of great commentaries by animators and animation historians profiling ; Music-only and music-and-effects tracks on selected shorts; 2 Looney Tunes TV specials starring Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck; Bonus rarities from the vaults, including Friz Freleng at MGM cartoons and the World of Leon Schlesinger gallery!

I cannot stress enough that this is a must have for any animation enthusiast, Looney Tunes fan or kid at heart! Now just to whet your appetite is a great short that I love featuring that all-time great character and part time con man, Charlie Dog: Often an Orphan. This is a decent You Tube presentations, but just image how great the restored DVD version will look on your TV!





Looney Tunes: The Golden Collection, Vol .6 is a Shelf Classic!
Next: Warner Brothers Gangsters Collection, Vol. 4

Oh, I know it's a penny here and a penny there, but look at me. I worked myself up from nothing to a state of extreme poverty.

All my life, I've dreamed the day I could live in the country. I'm not strong! I need lots of fresh air, and milk, and cream...and fresh leafy veggi-tables!

media roundup 2.0

Yeah, I miss the old media roundup. It became difficult to keep up with and, quite frankly, it never got much of a response. I've been thinking about retooling it- so that we can still alert Shelfers about fun and cool titles coming out and TCM picks for the week. Well, I believe what we will do is break it down into smaller, digestable pieces- same Shelf taste, less filling. So what we will do is post smaller highlights of titles coming out during the week and separate posts of our TCM picks. Today's pick? Something you might not expect...

I think a big difference between myself and a lot of people is my sense of humor. I can laugh at myself and I have a great appreciation for satire and parody. Viz a viz: I thought that Sarah Palin's appearance on SNL was OK- she aquitted herself well. Some people were up in arms saying- they are just going to make fun of you. Well SNL has always made fun of it's guests. If you are going in, you know what you are going to get. You still might want to skip Weekend Update. I've discussed our affection for South Park, The Simpsons and Family Guy before. It's the imp- the transgressor- that makes it fun. No sacred cows- on any side.

So today we highlight Family Guy Vol. 6 - out this week! Here are some behind the scenes clips and some of the extras from the set that you can expect.
Here's some of the writers discussing the gags:




Also an exclusive extra from the DVD set: The voices of Family Guy:




Included in the set are 12 episodes from seasons 5 & 6, including the 100th episode. Also in the set are behind the scenes extras, commentaries, deleted scenes and more.

So, if you are a fan, you know to check it out- if not give it a try. Sometimes it's fun to laugh and poke fun at sacred cows and popular culture. Family Guy Vol. 6- out this week!

Next:
Looney Tunes: The Golden Collection, Vol 6 and Warner Brothers: Gangsters Vol.4
Stay tuned.

Oh, I know it's a penny here and a penny there, but look at me. I worked myself up from nothing to a state of extreme poverty.

So, what do you think of this "Music Television?"

Sorry about being MIA. I have been sick as a... well, you know. I've had something that resembles the flu or pneumonia, but not so much now that you get a good look at it. In fact, it looks more like your Uncle Charlie after he's had too much egg nog. I'm still fighting it, but it is getting somewhat better. Nonetheless- I have been working on several reviews and posts, and a new contest starts today. So stay tuned.

Oh, I'm sorry. I can't come to the door right now. I'm afraid that in my weakened condition, I could take a nasty spill down the stairs and subject myself to further school absences. You can reach my parents at their places of business. Thank you for stopping by. I appreciate your concern for my well-being. Have a nice day!
