The Last Man on Earth (1964), starring Vincent Price, brings Richard Matheson's I Am Legend to eerie life. A lonely survivor faces zombie-like creatures. The film is bleak but good. I rate it six stars.

6⭐ A nearly-forgotten classic with chilling, vintage sci-fi appeal! 🧛🌒

The Ωmega Man (1971), starring Charlton Heston, re-imagines Richard Matheson's I Am Legend in a sun-baked, post-apocalyptic Los Angeles where one man fights the night. A stylish '70s thriller with mutants, cult fanaticism, and a lone survivor's mission. I rate it five stars.

5⭐ A retro sci-fi film with an interesting story, but only so-so acting and a marginal script. ☢️

The UFO documentary, The Age of Discovery, is set for release on Amazon Prime early tomorrow, November 21, 2025. Although I plan to watch it, I doubt anything can convince me that UFOs or ETs are real. With billions of video cameras in the world and not a single clear or credible image of a UFO or ET, it's virtually impossible to believe they exist.🧐

From the late 1980s to the middle 1990s, i enjoyed watching the adorable Shelley Fabares who starred as Christine on the sitcom Coach.

I finally watched The Age of Disclosure. It was a big disappointment. Lots of claims, but zero proof or evidence of UFOs, UAPs, or ETs. I rate it three stars.

3⭐ A bad movie with almost nothing redeeming — hard pass. 🚫👎

Contact (1997), starring Jodie Foster, mixes philosophical questions with humanity's first message from the stars. The plot is ambitious, but it never reaches its potential. It's watchable, but not especially memorable. I rate it five stars.

5⭐ An average movie — watchable, but not memorable — meh. 😐📺

I enjoy re-watching The Twilight Zone episode Stopover in a Quiet Town on occasion. I rate the episode seven stars.

7⭐ A very good episode I would gladly rewatch — rewatchable gem! 🍿😊 

Below is a clip of the writer discussing the episode. Warning for spoilers if you haven't seen the episode.

Falling Down (1993) is a thriller/crime movie about a defense engineer who was laid off. Subsequently, he snaps and goes on a violent rampage across Los Angeles. I rate it six stars.

 6⭐ A decent movie, though it had some flaws — not bad! 🤔👍

I recently rewatched Taken (2002), a 10-part science-fiction miniseries produced by Steven Spielberg about humans abducted by extraterrestrials. Some of it is mundane, but there is enough good in it to barely merit 7 stars from me. Good stuff!

7⭐ A very good series I would gladly rewatch — rewatchable gem! 🍿😊

Despite the decades-old filming technology and low-budget props, The Fly (1958), remains an eerie, grotesque horror film. I rate it six stars.

6⭐ A nearly-forgotten classic with a vintage sci-fi appeal! 🌒

I recently re-watched the 1955 horror movie Tarantula. The film is about a gigantic spider on the loose and terrorizing the countryside. I originally watched it as a young lad in the early 1970s. Now, seven decades after its release, the concept remains scary, but the acting, script, and props haven't aged well. I probably would've rated it seven stars when I first saw it back in the early 70s, but now I rate it five stars — just barely.

5⭐ An average movie — watchable, but quite dated — meh. 😐📺

I recently revisited the 1958 sci-fi horror movie The Blob. I first saw it as a young lad in the early 1970s, and it was mildly amusing then. Remembering it in 2025 and watching the original trailer, any nostalgic charm it may have once had is gone. It's a campy, low-quality, B-grade flick. The acting is stiff, the effects are dated, and the script leans heavily into the corny side of 1950s sci-fi.

I probably would've rated it five stars when I first watched it as a lad, but today I can only give it three stars — and that may be too generous.

3⭐ A silly, campy movie with almost nothing redeeming — hard pass. 🚫👎

The 2019 sci-fi film The Vast of Night is mildly interesting but not very memorable. The concept is good, but the movie would've benefited from stronger acting and a sharper script.

5⭐ An average movie — watchable, but not memorable — meh. 😐📺

I recently rewatched Brubaker (1980), starring Robert Redford. The film is set in 1969 at the fictional Wakefield State Prison in Arkansas, based on the real-life Tucker and Cummins State Prison Farms. It's loosely inspired by the reform efforts of penologist Thomas O. Murton in the late 1960s. I rate it five stars.

Recently, I rewatched The Shawshank Redemption (1994) starring Tim Robbins. It's a creative story about a prison escape. I rate it six stars.

6⭐ A decent movie, though it had some flaws — not bad! 🤔👍
