Rating:  - If Mr. X were that good, wouldn't he have won the lottery?
Looking back through the corridors of cinema through the passages of time, one could almost say that films released in the early days were more creative, more intuitive, and more aggressive than those raiding our multiplexes today. Films made in the 1940 especially stand out as those that seem to delve into the human psyche more than the capers of "Transformers" or "Bee Movie" in today's standard.

Apart from the strong central performances ... Read More
Rating: - "He did a lot of crazy things...some of the bad..."
The problem with the deceased, you see, is sometimes they don't know, don't believe, or don't care that they're dead, which can cause complications for those of us still shuffling about on this mortal as they tend to hang about making nuisances of themselves, as seen in the film The Amazing Mr. X (1948). Directed by Bernard Vorhaus (The Last Journey, The Courageous Dr. Christian), the film stars Turhan Bey (The Mad Ghoul, Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves), Richard Carlson (It Came from Outer Space, Creature from ...
