Thanks to everyone who has stuck with this article over the past two days. In today's final part, I'll be covering the final 3 classic Marx movies. At The Circus (1939) – Jeff Wilson played by Kenny Baker At The Circus was the first attempt at an MGM Marx… Continue reading
SO. I've been doing some thinking lately, which is not something I like to do. Just what should this blog be about? I've decided (and I am, in this case, the decider) it should be Horror 101. For me. I'm not quite as uneducated in the fake-blood arts as that… Continue reading
THE FALL is proving to be an especially hard film to catch here in sunny, culturally-isolated South Florida. The nearest theater with a print is a good $8-$10 worth of gas away. The Tomatometer rating is way out of whack with the IMDB rating, showing a clear… Continue reading
When a film strikes a chord deep within you, I’m talking about when it really speaks to you on a profound level, it’s indescribable. Everyone has a film that holds a special place in their heart, regardless of the quality or popularity of it. If it means… Continue reading

George Lucas is a genius. He has managed to raise to the level of an art form the ability to package and repackage his movies with restored, added or enhanced features over and over, and we all keep on buying them and making him richer and richer. For years,… Continue reading
What's up internet? My name's Jon Abrams and for now my blog is called Slow-Motion Quick-Draw. Let's save the extended introduction and get right to talking movies. That's really the best way for you and I to decide if we're going to get along. For my first… Continue reading
So… I ended up seeing Indy again for the third time instead. Taking that into account, I figured now was as good a time as any to chime in with my opinion on the film. (There may be spoilers. I'm not sure.) I am well aware that the bigwigs over here at… Continue reading
