Return of the Living Dead may have been the first zomedy ever. It was as far I’m concerned anyway. An off the rails and completely over the top parody homage that had the pedigree of being written by the guy that penned “Night of the Living Dead” and directed by the guy who wrote “Alien”. A very nostalgic movie for me, and an all-around favorite to just about any horror fan that I know of. Which brings me to the question of “Did the sequel that came three years later fair as an acceptable follow up?”
I’ve learned a couple of things about part 2 that I didn’t know. It wasn...

No sooner than Masterworks Broadway's new release of Seven Come Eleven A Gaming Gambol starts playing, listeners will find themselves transported to the intimacy of The Upstairs Room, lined with lavish, red fabric and soft light emanating from antique globes. We easily picture ourselves sitting at a small table amidst New Yorkers enjoying a night out on the town. As Julius Monk greets his live audience and us listeners, in our mind's eye we can see the lights dimming and we get lost in the enthusiastic performances of Philip Bruns the father on Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman, the original Morty Seinfeld on Seinfeld, Ceil Cabot, Rex Robbins 1974 Gypsy Revival, Steve Roland, Donna Sanders, and Mary Louise Wilson 1998 Cabaret revival, Grey Gardens, who are accompanied by William Roy and Carl Norman at the plural pianos.

Does The Great Waldo Pepper deserve to be called a classic? Released in 1975, the saga of post-wwi barnstorming aviators has long polarized critics. Some have hailed the film as a great but often underrated character study and portrait of life in 1920s America, while others have dismissed it as one of Robert Redford's lesser efforts, a lightweight action film that offers little more than amazing aerial stunts.
With this week's re-release of The Great Waldo Pepper on DVD, the debate continues. Once again, critics and film fans can argue whether the film is a true classic or just another old movie about airplanes.
The Great Waldo Pepper opens in 1926 Kansas, where the titular character (played by Redford at the height of his career) earns a meager living as a barnstorming pilot. Waldo spends his days flying from one tiny Kansas town to the next, performing aerobatic stunts and offering...

We realize that Inventories are never complete, and we rely on commentators to let us (and everybody else) know what we missed. Since there were so many solid suggestions for "The Darrin Effect" this week, we figured we'd offer a sequel. Some things that are still off the table: soap operas (because crazy recasting is just par for the course) and what's referred to as Soras (soap opera rapid aging syndrome), in which a character rapidly ages from one season to the next (like Chrissy Seaver on Growing Pains). 1. The two Morty Seinfelds (and Frank Costanzas) on Seinfeld Veteran television actor Philip Bruns played Jerry Seinfeld's father, Morty, when the character briefly debuted in Seinfeld's second episode, "The Stakeout." The story goes that series co-creator Larry David wanted someone more cantankerous for the part, and Bruns was too relaxed. When Morty returned...
