Some great new DVDs were released last month by MGM as part of their Midnite Movie series. I recommend you immediately rush out and buy them! The first double bill is Fireball 500/Thunder Alley.

However, I quickly calmed down remembering how awful Tim Burton’s Planet of the Apes was. Not only is there going to be a theatrical Poseidon Adventure based on the screenplay, there […]
