Calvin and Hobbes Monday 02-20-1986

Miss Wormwood must have some phenomenal strength and reflexes to catch Calvin that fast.  Or perhaps this was not the first time he tried to escape.

827. Here's the Man from Atlantis! 1977

I really liked this show when it was on, and was sad it got canceled.

The Iron Giant (1999)

From Wiki- The Iron Giant is a 1999 American animated science fiction film directed by Brad Bird and written by Tim McCanlies^[a]. Loosely based on Ted Hughes's 1968 novel, The Iron Man, it features an ensemble cast, including Jennifer Aniston, Harry Connick Jr., Vin Diesel, James Gammon, Cloris Leachman, John Mahoney, Eli Marienthal, Christopher McDonald and M. Emmet Walsh. Set during the Cold War in 1957, the film centers on a young boy named Hogarth Hughes, who discovers and befriends a giant robot of extraterrestrial origin. With the help of beatnik artist Dean McCoppin, Hogarth attempts to prevent the United States' military, who have been alerted by paranoid federal agent Kent Mansley, from finding and vanquishing the Giant.  Back to me:

826. Perseus Clashes with the Medusa in 1963!

Here is the new review!  Yeah, I did it over 600 episodes ago, but that was on Spotify only.

Perseo l'invincibile (1963)

 

From Wiki-  Medusa Against the Son of Hercules (Italian: Perseo l'invincibile, lit. 'Perseus the Invincible', Spanish: El valle de los hombres de piedra, lit. 'The Valley of the Stone Men') is a 1963 Italian-Spanish sword and sandal film directed by Alberto De Martino and starring Richard Harrison. It is loosely based on the myth of Perseus and Medusa.^[1][2]

Plot

Medusa is a monster that haunts a lake and attacks a group of soldiers; her single eye is capable of turning her victims to stone and the kingdom of Argos uses her to impose suffocating tolls on those who pass through. Perseus, the missing son of the true king of Argos (murdered by a usurper who married his widow), is captured by the troops of an evil monarch and forced to fight as a gladiator. But he escapes and plots to overthrow the villain, still having time to face the Medusa and try his luck if he can bring the petrified soldiers back to life. Back to me:

825. White Snake Enchantress and Panda (1958) review

 Here is the Japanese version of Panda and the Magic Serpent, though this time with far less Panda.

Medusa against the Sons Of Hercules - Perseus, that is!

The song is amazing, there is no question about that.

824. Ultraman Mebius 25-28 Space Dinosaur Z-ton!

This show really is something special.  I tried watching newer ones, but none have quite captured my attention like this series.

Marvel's Man from Atlantis (1978)

I quite enjoyed this series.  I watched the entire run (I think), all four movies and 13 episodes.  I haven't seen them since 1978, though I watched bits and pieces of the show when it aired on Sci-Fi (I am pretty sure) back in the 90s.  They sure were desperate for content back then, weren't they?  A few of the episodes got a bit silly toward the end, but we were still desperate for any genre content in the 70s.  This is probably the show that made me a fan of Victor Buono as well. 

823. Famous Japanese Monsters of Filmland zine review!

There isn't a lot to add to the vast amount of reviews for this magazine, but I did it anyway!
