RETRO REVIEW – DIE, MONSTER, DIE! (1965)
In 1965, a non-Hammer movie, made and set in England, starring Boris Karloff and Nick Adams, came out called “Die, Monster, Die!” Suprisingly enough, it’s a science fiction movie, not a horror/monster movie. Loosely based on H.P. Lovecraft’s “The Colour Out of Space,” it’s a different retelling of a classic story. Did I like it? Well, yes and no. Read and find out why.

RETRO MOVIE REVIEW – TIMECOP (1994)
In 1994, Peter Hyams, who had been known for directing genre films Outland (1981) and 2010, The Year We Make Contact, made an SF action-adventure film called Timecop, starring “The Muscles from Brussels,” action star Jean-Claude Van Damme. Not surprisingly, it was a pretty good movie with excellent special effects for the time (including some early CGI) and some not terribly deep subtext. Did you see it? Did you like it? Read what Steve thinks.
