    I am fast becoming a fan of Alfred Bester, who I would never have come across unless I had picked up a used paperback of his short stories from 1964, The Dark Side of the Earth. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfred_Bester

    Review James Horner

    I thought A Beautiful Mind (2001) was a fine modern score. Humanoids From The Deep (1980) and Star Trek II (1982) are great too.

    Review The Magnificent Seven (1960)

    Review The Mummy (2017)

    I think it's about time the Comic Book movie factory DC and Marvel have become start getting some serious competition, because even a film about Droopy would be better than some of the superhero crud they have churned out.
