DK, Donkey Kong. DK, Donkey Kong is here. John Carradine shows up in the first movie with this blog about a woman who can turn into an ape woman or a gorilla, it’s kind of both, depends on the mood I guess. Sometimes her face is hairy and she has claws. Other times she isContinue reading “Captive Wild Woman (1943)”

They go well together, don’t they? Monogram does better this time by having an interesting story and spending some decent money on certain scenes such as the weddings and one random scene in a club. 1942 seemed to be when everybody was using their top game including the smaller, cheaper studios. Bela Lugosi does wellContinue reading “Corpse Vanishes (1942)”

I guess you could say this was a bargain basement sort of movie. Bela Lugosi has another one of his Monogram movies with Bowery at Midnight. I was going to do Corpse Vanishes next, but the DVD for that one stopped working halfway through so I will be getting to it later. This is anContinue reading “Bowery at Midnight (1942)”

Now that this blog has reached the very heart of the World War 2 years for movies, there will be a lot of repetition with a couple of different movie series that came out with a lot of things during this time. The first was Sherlock Holmes, the A movies, the second, which we willContinue reading “Black Dragons (1942)”

Bela Lugosi makes another appearance in this movie, another dark house movie, this time much creepier than usual. Several murders occur in dramatic fashion before the spectacular murderer is revealed to be somebody who during most of the movie most of the characters don’t think could have done it. There are a good number ofContinue reading “Night Monster (1942)”

Charlie Chan goes to a castle in the desert in this movie. Only one person is killed during the movie, but it is still pretty interesting because there are a couple of different criminals doing things at the same time. One of them is pulling off a conspiracy while another one is the actual murderer.Continue reading “Castle In the Desert (1942)”

We get our next movie in the Sherlock Holmes series, the first in a couple of years. What had started out back during the late 1930s as a classic detective series had been brought to the present day in probably one of the most interesting decisions Hollywood had ever made. Holmes would be the originalContinue reading “Sherlock Holmes and Voice of Terror (1942)”

This is probably one of the better Charlie Chan movies in the series. Not only do we have a pretty good supporting cast with one of the actors from Room Service playing the police chief. I can’t remember his name, but he’s always entertaining to watch in supporting roles. We also have Shemp with aContinue reading “Murder Over New York (1940)”

1942 was an interesting year for a couple of different reasons with movies. Disney had quite possibly their best animated movie, the best Christmas movie came out and now Alfred Hitchcock had my favorite movie of his come out. The reason I like this movie more than any other Hitchcock movie is because it isContinue reading “Saboteur (1942)”

Edgar G. Robinson has a different role from usual as a shop keeper who runs a luggage store. In typical fashion he is still up to no good while trying to rob a bank next door by digging a large hole in the basement with help from the work mule, Broderick Crawford. They have someContinue reading “Larceny Inc. (1942)”
