It’s Tab Hunter as you’ve never seen him before! Antonio Margheriti’s limp but colorful Arabian Nights adventure romance is a real head-scratcher — it’s an entirely generic kiddie show, filmed on nice locations, and devoid of style or flash. Some of the sub-Bava effects are clever, but the only ‘magic’ element is the decision to re-voice Tab with an off-the-shelf dubbing artist… it’s as if Hunter has been sucked into a ‘scimitar & sandal’ episode of The Twilight Zone.

Royal baby on board!
Princess Sofia of Sweden debuted her baby bump for the first time since announcing her pregnancy at the end of March.
On Wednesday, the royal, clad in an elegant gray ensemble, walked arm-in-arm with husband Prince Carl Philip. The two posed for photos before boarding the Norwegian royal yacht for a lunch with fellow European royals.
The couple, who are already parents to 1-year-old son, Prince Alexander, looked as in love as ever.
It’s been a busy few days for the royal couple, who are in Norway along with Prince Carl Philip’s parents, King Carl Gustaf and Queen Silvia,...

It creeps and leaps and slides and glides along the wall… and then it eats your face, dude. Mario Bava and Riccardo Freda’s ultimate monster mastication epic now looks sensationally gory, thanks to a full restoration. Arrow’s disc has pretty much everything, including two transfers and two audio commentaries. And Savant has a guilty admission to make — it was the tripe, the whole tripe, and nothing but the tripe.

A review of tonight's The Americans coming up just as soon as I drop off Silver Streak on VHS... "None of us are in control, not really. Not ever." -Pastor Tim In case you missed the great news earlier today, FX renewed The Americans for two final seasons, 13 episodes next year, and 10 in 2018 to close things out. It's great that Fields, Weisberg, and company will get to wrap up the story the way that they wanted. But between the departures of Martha, Nina, and Gaad (the latter two fatal), the pressure being created by Paige, Pastor Tim, and Alice all being in on some stage of the secret, and the progress of Stan and Aderholt's investigations, there's been such a whiff of near-finality to things that it sure seemed like next year would make sense as the end. But the showrunners have had a long time to decide how much more runway they needed,...

A review of tonight's The Americans coming up just as soon as I like you better as a blonde... "We're in trouble." -Elizabeth Pastor Tim barely appears in the episode named after him, turning up dead in one of Elizabeth's nightmares. But the Gordian knot that Paige tied around her parents when she told Tim their secret hangs over the entire episode. Now that they know that Pastor Tim knows, there is no good solution. Kill him, and Paige will figure out they were responsible, and at best hate her parents forever, at worst turn them into the authorities. Don't tell him, and there's a man floating out there who can't be trusted to maintain Paige's confidence, meaning that their lives could blow up at any moment. Like the Glanders sample that Philip just can't seem to get rid of — even after murdering an airport security guard to the sounds...

So, I was right. And then I was wrong.
Oliver got a little too hack-happy and did in fact get kidnapped by the über-sketchy Philip, the geeky, socially stilted bastard Hapstall child who the Keating Company hopes has the matching DNA to link him to the Hapstall murder scene. But! While I thought Ollie's abduction was the first of a series of unfortunate events that would lead to Connor's undoing on the Night of the Fancy Mansion, the whole thing was … well, resolved relatively quickly.
Philip and his abductee, Oliver, surprise everyone by showing up at the Keating house unscathed...

The only place to start with this week's episode of The Americans is the end. The bleak final shot of innocent mum Joyce, chillingly killed by the Russians to stop her being caught by the FBI, showed that this series isn't going to shy away from the realities of the Cold War.
It wasn't all ass-kicking, comedy wigs and sex to Phil Collins music for spies back in the '80s. Well, not all of it anyway.
Joyce was the secret wife of the Jennings' murdered colleague Robert. Her child was sent back to snowy Donetsk to be with Robert's parents, but there was no way of getting out alive for poor old Joyce.
The Jennings' new Kgb supervisor 'Grannie', played by the awesome Margo Martindale (Justified), proved that she isn't a character to be messed with, packing off Joyce and her baby for their terrible fate. Hopefully we'll see...

Director: Susanne Bier; Screenwriter: Anders Thomas Jensen; Starring: Pierce Brosnan, Trine Dyrholm, Kim Bodnia, Paprika Steen, Molly Blixt Egelind, Sebastian Jessen; Running time: 116 mins; Certificate: 15
Pierce Brosnan falls in love under the Mediterranean sun, but thankfully, he doesn't have the urge to burst into song in this winsome romantic comedy. He stars as Philip, a wealthy businessman, long-time widower and casual cynic who travels to Italy for his son's wedding where he's surprised to find that he gets on rather well with future in-law, Ida, played by Danish actress Trine Dyrholm.
Dyrholm anchors the story with a disarming blend of kookiness and middle-aged ennui, doubled by the burden of cancer treatment and the discovery that husband Leif (Kim Bodnia) is having an affair. For Danish director Susanne Bier (Open Hearts, Brothers), this would usually be the cue for much angst and melodrama, but in this case, Ida sets the tone with sweet nonchalance.
