Planet of the Apes (1968)
The unanticipated success of 1968’s Planet of the Apes began the longest running English-language film series other than James Bond and helped pave the way for the Hollywood of today where it seems every other movie released is part of a film franchise. Film review by Dan Willard.
Rip van Wyk (1960)
Film review by Dan Willard. This modern retelling of the Rip Van Winkle story is set in South Africa in the years 1859 and 1959.
The Extraordinary Adventures of Saturnino Farandola (1913)
Film review by Dan Willard. The Extraordinary Adventures of Saturnino Farandola is an engaging hodgepodge of fantasy, comedy, adventure, and science fiction.
The Thief of Bagdad (1940)
Film review by Dan Willard. Though visually impressive with good performances by Conrad Veidt and Sabu, coming to this as an adult I can only regard the film as juvenile popcorn fare.
