@Cinemacabre I rate this one highly. As reboots go, it contextualizes the original premise for its time in a compelling way. Also, I want all the plants in this film, like that #StringOfPearls.

@Cinemacabre @Victoriak #DocSavage's Fortress of Solitude sounds familiar. 🤔
"The Man of Bronze" was Clark Savage Jr. The mysterious crime fighter, #TheShadow, trained in the Far East, & had multiple identities. His real name was Kent Allard.
* #Marvel's #MoonKnight visual template is #Batman. His multi-personas, & mercenary background hearkens back to The Shadow.

Remembering Krzysztof Eugeniusz Penderecki (1933-2020), the innovative, multiple Grammy-winning Polish composer and conductor, born in Debica on this day. He rose to international fame via Threnody to the Victims of Hiroshima, written for 52 strings in 1960, and his place in film history was secured by the haunting use of his work in The Exorcist (1973), The Shining (1980), Wild at Heart (1990) and Shutter Island (2010).

Remembering (Francis) #MichaelGough (1916-2011), the great BAFTA / Tony Award-winning English film, stage and television actor, born in Kuala Lumpur on this day. Equally adept at comic, cuddly and gleefully wicked roles, his screen career spanned eight decades, incorporating two incarnations of Doctor Who, (1966/83), the best ever Alfred Pennyworth (1989/97)...

Terrific as smart, peppy hitchhikers in Carpenter's #TheFog (1980) and Richard Franklin's #RoadGames (1981), as a NYPD rookie in Kathryn Bigelow's #BlueSteel (1990) and a manipulative, murderous matriarch in #MothersBoys (1993). Also, fantastic more recently in Rian Johnson's #KnivesOut (2019).

Faced with an existential threat, a microcosm of post-9/11 America panics, splinters, scapegoats and kills each other. Writer-director #FrankDarabont, whose earlier #StephenKing adaptations celebrated the "good" in people under pressure, channelled Lovecraft and Romero in a nihilistic latter-day monster movie for the "War on Terror" age.

she gently spoofed the seductive, predatory image created in Hammer's #TheVampireLovers (1970) and #Countess Dracula (1971). She was subtly menacing as the registrar in Robin Hardy's #TheWickerMan (1973), joining the May Day sacrifice of Sgt. Howie. You will know her as #IngridPitt.

Remembering Gene Eliza Tierney (1920-91), the striking American film, stage and television actress, born in New York #onthisday. An indelible #femmefatale in the title role of Otto Preminger's classic #Laura (1944), she also starred in the director's later noirs #Whirlpool and #WheretheSidewalkEnds (both 1950) while reteaming with Vincent Price for #LeaveHertoHeaven (1945) and #Dragonwyck (1946), and portraying the nightclub singer in Jules Dassin's superb #NightandtheCity (1950).

Remembering American film, stage and radio actor, #CliftonWebb (1899-1966), born Webb Parmlee Hollenbeck in Indianapolis #onthisday. A ballroom dancer and star of vaudeville and Broadway musicals, on film he excelled as aloof misanthropes and narcissists. Magnificent as dirt-digging, poisonous columnist Waldo Lydecker in Otto Preminger's #Laura (1944), he memorably reteamed with Gene Tierney in #TheRazorsEdge and portrayed the duplicitous gallery owner in #TheDarkCorner (both 1946).
