I'm watching McKenna Shoots for the Stars right now. Maybe I'm a bit too old for this, but it's still fun to watch. I give it 3 stars out of 4.

I thought so, the original was really good.

I watched an oldie, Quatermass And The Pit. Not exactly a theatrical film, it was a BBC 6 part mini-series from 1959. A very well done series about a failed invasion from Mars five million years in the past. Outstanding performances by Andre Morrell, Cec Linder and Anthony Bushnell as the overbearing up tight colonel. Gotta give this one 5 out of 5. One of the best.

Mini-series are so fancy during those times and I adored them too just like you. Although I have never seen this movie before, I could tell that is is a good one and won't be a wasfe of time.

It is a good one. Hammer films made a theatrical version some years later but it wasnt nearly as good as the original. It was written by Nigel Kneal who wrote the Quatermass stories and other very good and imaginative sci-fi series.

the movie I seen was thinnier it was great and scary movie at times enjoyed the whole meaning of the movie and would for sure watch it again. I would rate the from one to ten a ten for sure I enjoyed every part of that movie and would watch again and again. when he fugures out that she put the curse on him to become thin and he didn't know why was the intense part of the one of the part of the movies. please watch it you will enjoy it.
thank you

This morning I watched Crime detectives and I rate it a 4 over 5 because the ending was a cliff hanger.
