Reviews of Classic Films
Little Fugitive
Cole Smithey @ ColeSmithey.com
- Excerpt: Made in 1953 by three confident filmmakers, “Little Fugitive” is as much an invaluable filmic document of postwar New York as it is an enchanting incipient work of independent cinema.

Cole Smithey @ ColeSmithey.com

Santa and the Ice Cream Bunny
Gregory J. Smalley @ 366 Weird Movies
- Excerpt: When someone like me, who’s watched ‘They Saved Hitler’s Brain’ multiple times—voluntarily, not as part of a CIA experiment in breaking interrogee’s wills—tells you that ‘Santa and the Ice Cream Bunny’ is quite possibly the worst movie they’ve ever seen, you should take notice.
The Young Guns (1956)
- Excerpt: The 1956 western The Young Guns is essentially a cowboy capitalization on the juvenile delinquent fad. Russ Tamblyn (Twin Peaks‘ Dr. Jacobi) stars as Tully, the troubled son of a bad-to-the-bone outlaw.
