Sep 2, 2003Plague Outbreak/Possible Vampire Creature
One of the classic psychological horror films from producer Val Lewton. This is a slightly less effective Lewton work featuring Boris Karloff on a plague-ridden island unsure if a vampire creature is responsible

Sinbad the Sailor (1947)
Rating: ★★½
May 22, 2013Arabian Nights Adventure
The very first Sinbad film. Douglas Fairbanks Jr is cast to capitalise on the swashbuckling name of his father. It is odd seeing a Sinbad film that eliminates fantasy adventure in favour of talk, although it eventually mounts a likeably energetic show

Tarzan’s Magic Fountain (1949)
Rating: ★★
Feb 1, 2013Jungle Hero/Fountain of Youth
The first Tarzan film after Johnny Weissmuller's departure and replacement by a blank Lex Barker, although in all other ways is still the same tired formula. One of the few Tarzan films of the era to employ fantastic plot devices (a Fountain of Youth) but seems to have little idea what to do with it

Tarzan’s Peril (1951)
Rating: ★★
May 26, 2016Jungle Hero
The fifteenth of the MGM/RKO Tarzan films and third starring Lex Barker. What makes this stand out is that it was the first Tarzan film to go and shoot in Africa, otherwise it follows exactly the same well-worn formula as before and has one of the worst screens Janes ever
