Santa Claus Conquers the Martians (1964)
Brilliant Effort All Around
This masterpiece has been called one of the worst movies ever made. Such is the level of taste these days. The reviewers here fell for this canard and joined the herd, completely ignoring the fact that Santa Claus is a giant among the 4-year-old crowd.
Every 4-year-old I have ever known told me that this film left an imprint on their psyche that has lasted well into their grown-up-hood. I can vouch for the truth in that because I myself was once a 4-year-old. I didn't see it then because I was sent to bed that night for what I still consider a minor infraction.
The writing, the production, the sets, etc., were all created and designed BY 4-year-olds FOR 4-year-olds. Such a notion borders on genius, and has never been duplicated before or since (although it is unclear how it could have been DUPLICATED BEFORE it was first plicated).
Inexplicably snubbed by the Academy, it remains deeply embedded in the hearts of the Santa Claus faithful.
Family Law (1999)
Outstanding!
Why in the world did they cancel this terrific show? A brilliant cast, brilliant and witty dialogue, and good law necessarily telescoped into the hour available. Dixie Carter was never better and all the actors were superb delivering the wonderful writing of Paul Haggis.
Some stories are very funny and some are very serious with three each episode. Add the rare tragic tale, and the mix delivers. Excellent television!
