The Tingler (1959) Gimmicky William Castle production from the late '50's about a scientist who discovers a creature that manisfests itself on the spines of people who are experiencing intense fear. I remember bits and pieces of...

First Blood (1982) I decided to watch this again after reading some of Joe Karlosi's comments last month. This initial Rambo offering is a pretty decent film, especially the first half of it. Rambo as a Vietnam vet trying to come...
