This week is the 60th Anniversary of the release of one of my favorite films of all time, #goldfinger Still the best Bond film ever with the best Bond villain and Bond henchman and Bond lines, and pretty much all the cool stuff.

Going through the posts that I already have up on the Ultra Project … "Science Patrol, Move Out" is a standard ULTRAMAN episode from the early days when the budget was too tight. It introduces a famous monster, Neronga, who also appeared in SHIN ULTRAMAN https://the-ultra-project.com/2024/09/06/ultraman-ep-3-science-patrol-move-out/

Ultraman Ep. 3: Science Patrol, Move Out

The standard Ultraman episode. The basics are all here without much variation or swapping of ingredients.

I watched 1981's EYE OF THE NEEDLE on Prime last night (it leaves at the end of the month), one of those films I've meant to get to for years because I love the #KenFollet novel. Worth it: great "Hitchcock's British Period" thriller feel to it, and Donald Sutherland nails a tricky part.

Wednesday is New Post Day at the Ultra Project. Today, I'm looking at Ep. 5 of ULTRA Q, an icy science-fiction story in the Antarctic with just a touch of THE THING FROM ANOTHER WORLD and the Quatermass films … plus a giant mutated walrus-penguin named Peguila!

Ultra Q Ep. 5: Peguila Is Here!

A change of scenery, from urban Tokyo to the hostile depths of Antarctica to introduce the monster Peguila.

The 2nd #ULTRAMAN episode, "Shoot the Invader," has the first alien invasion in the whole Ultra Series—lobster-looking laughing bastards Alien Baltan. Also, Ide wants to tell the audience about his black eye. https://the-ultra-project.com/2024/09/02/ultraman-ep-2-shoot-invader/

Ultraman Ep. 2: Shoot the Invader

I'm settling on a twice weekly posting schedule for The Ultra Project, with reviews going up on Wed. and Sat. I still have many posts already on the website when I went live, so I'll keep filling people in on what I've got up for you to read … such as this review of the first episode of #ultraman https://the-ultra-project.com/2024/08/29/ultraman-ep-1-ultra-operation-no-1/

Ultraman Ep. 1: Ultra Operation No. 1

This premiere episode isn’t the strongest of the series, but it checks off all the points it needs to and leaves viewers ready for more.

CAPTAIN CLEGG isn't a horror film, but it contains one of Hammer Studios most famous of its "#Hammer Horror" images: the glowing Marsh Phantoms. This simple effect still jumps right off the screen.

#Ultraseven is my favorite of the #Ultraman shows, the smartest SF writing in the long history of the franchise, so it's going to be a big part of my review project. Here's my intro: what you need to know for ULTRASEVEN
