Peter Nielsen — Mon, 17 Jun 2013 22:41:01 +0000

by Peter Nielsen

”Who will dare to face the challenge of the funhouse? Who is mad enough to enter that world of darkness? How about you, sir?”

There’s something special and almost mystical about a carnival, wouldn’t you agree? It arrives, rather quietly, in town one day. Where has it been before? Where does it . . . → Read More: Peter’s Retro Rewind: The Funhouse (1981)

Peter’s Retro Rewind: Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1974)

Peter Nielsen — Mon, 10 Jun 2013 07:00:54 +0000

by Peter Nielsen

It’s been a while since I last watched this one. So, after a little reminiscence with my good friend Kevin Spencer about Monty Python a week or so ago, I decided it was time for a re-watch!

Great Movies Film Club: Yojimbo (1961)

Dave Umbricht — Mon, 03 Jun 2013 07:00:14 +0000

by Dave Umbricht

Choosing the first film for this club is an embarrassment of riches. I mean, go back and look at that list. You can not go wrong.

So without further ado, the first great film is Yojimbo. Why Yojimbo? Samurais and violence and well, yeah, that sounds like the perfect film for the . . . → Read More: Great Movies Film Club: Yojimbo (1961)

Peter Nielsen — Mon, 27 May 2013 07:00:37 +0000

by Peter Nielsen

Memory is a funny thing, wouldn’t you agree?

And I don’t mean the children’s game where you’re supposed to find pairs among scattered picture cards on a table. No, I mean memories stored inside that weird and wonderful thing called your brain.

There is a void in the world since Roger Ebert’s passing last month. One of the great film fans and the world’s most famous critic is gone. Roger Ebert amazingly transcended media.

Thanks for the magic, Mr. Harryhausen

Peter Nielsen — Mon, 13 May 2013 07:00:59 +0000

Mr. Ray Harryhausen, legend.

by Peter Nielsen

I seem to remember that the first glimpse I got into the world of Ray Harryhausen was a short scene from The Beast From 20.000 Fathoms (1953). It was the scene where the rhedosaurus grabs and eats the policeman… I was just a little kid and that . . . → Read More: Thanks for the magic, Mr. Harryhausen

by Peter Nielsen

If I mention the name Alistair MacLean, you all know who I mean, right? He’s the author of 28-29 novels in the action-thriller genre.

by Peter Nielsen

”The first time seems like the worst time, but it’s the one time you’ll never forget!”

Ladies and gentlemen, we haven’t done a romantic comedy in a while, have we? So I thought it was about time! Mischief isn’t your typical 80’s teen rom-com though, since it isn’t set in the . . . → Read More: Peter’s Retro Rewind: Mischief (1985)

by Peter Nielsen

Do you remember back when I did a review about the movie Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man, where Robert Ginty had a small part as a helicopter pilot?

by Peter Nielsen

”Little girls, this seems to say, never stop upon your way. Never trust a stranger, friend. No-one knows how it will end. As you’re pretty, so be wise! Wolves may lurk in every guise. Now, as then, ‘tis simple truth… sweetest tongue has sharpest tooth.”

by Joel G. Robertson

Nightbreed was Barker’s second film as a writer and director. His first was Hellraiser (1987). Based on Barker’s novella, Cabal, Nightbreed tells the story of Boone, a young man who dreams of a hellish underworld and finds himself the prime suspect in a string of serial murders.

Peter Nielsen — Mon, 11 Mar 2013 07:00:59 +0000

By Peter Nielsen

One of the taglines for this movie was: “18 Feet of Towering Fury”, but let’s be real here folks, it’s not 18 feet.

It’s not even 15 feet like they say in the movie.

The bear used in Grizzly was actually 11 feet tall and was, at the time, the largest grizzly . . . → Read More: Peter’s Retro Rewind: Grizzly (1976)

Do NOT make fun of my mall bangs bitches!

by Joel G. Robertson

It’s interesting how many stars forget their roots. Where they came from. How they got their start.

I’m not talking about their familial or ancestral lines, or the crime-ridden burg they called home as a child. No, I’m talking about first . . . → Read More: Is that a Leprechaun in your pocket…?

Three Decades Ago, In a Movie Theater Down the Street: Ten Favorite Science Fiction Films of the 1980s

Dayton Ward — Wed, 06 Mar 2013 10:00:11 +0000

By: Dayton Ward

The 1980s seems to be one of those “Love it or Hate it” decades. The clothes, the hairstyles, the music, the TV shows, and even the movies all have a very distinctive vibe that just screams “EIGHTIES!!,” right? I mean…neon and pastels, acid-washed jeans, leg warmers, mullets, trimmed beard stubble, Culture Club? . . . → Read More: Three Decades Ago, In a Movie Theater Down the Street: Ten Favorite Science Fiction Films of the 1980s

”I’m Popeye the Sailor Man, I’m Popeye the Sailor Man. I’m strong to the finnich, ‘cause I eats me spinach. I’m Popeye the Sailor Man.”

by Peter Nielsen

I guess by now you’ve figured out that I love all types and genres of movies. Yes… even musicals, but you won’t be seeing any reviews of them here on Forgotten Flix, though. Another genre I haven’t touched upon much yet is the Western, or more precise… the so called Spaghetti . . . → Read More: Peter’s Retro Corner: Django (1966)

by Peter Nielsen

Jack DeVries (Chris Mulkey) is a quiet man. He’s a stockbroker who lives a nice suburban life and is well-liked by his neighbors. He’s the kind of man who wouldn’t hurt a fly. He doesn’t even have a criminal record. A model citizen, so to speak.

JoelGRobertson — Mon, 11 Feb 2013 08:00:30 +0000

by Peter Nielsen

From 1981 to 1992 we had a movie magazine called ”Scandinavian Film & Video” here in Sweden. Unfortunately it deteriorated into a crappy magazine during the last 2-3 years, but in the mid 80’s it was our bible when it came to movies!

Peter’s Retro Movie Review: The Two-Minute Warning (1976)

JoelGRobertson — Mon, 28 Jan 2013 08:00:11 +0000

by Peter Nielsen

With less than a week until the kick-off in Super Bowl 2013, I thought it appropriate to look at a movie with a football setting. I first thought about The Longest Yard, but I have a hunch that’s less forgotten than the one I finally settled on, namely the star-studded drama/thriller Two-Minute Warning.

by Peter Nielsen

It’s time to return to another genre I love and grew up with… the martial arts genre.

During the 80s, we devoured these types of movies, and the TV and radio shop I mentioned in my last review (The Soldier) had a shit-load of these for rent. Many of them were bad . . . → Read More: Peter’s Retro Movie Review: Fist of Legend (1994)

”Codename: The Soldier – You don’t assign him. You unleash him!”

by Peter Nielsen

”After forty days and nights of torrential rain, the city is largely submerged below water, a result of the devastating effects of continued global warming. The warnings ignored for decades have now resulted in undreamed-of levels of pollution where day has become almost endless night.”

Well, my friends, since we’re in the midst of the Christmas holidays I thought it appropriate to spend this jolly time (hopefully) looking at the classic Burt Lancaster – movie The Crimson Pirate.

by Peter Nielsen

First off, let me say that, yes… I realize that this movie might not be all that “forgotten” and when the next chapter in Max Rockatansky’s life, Mad Max: Fury Road, is finally released it might get another stint in the spotlight.
