Here’s something you don’t see every day…
I am, after all, supposed to rest: doctors’ orders. I try to get my blog work done in the morning so I can take the afternoon off. That usually involves a cigar and a movie.
I am a huge Ray Harryhausen fan–greatest special effects wizard ever. Today’s movie, Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger–featured more special effects than you can shake a stick at. I wonder what Harryhausen’s dreams were like.
It’s not Oedipus Rex, but it is a very fun movie from 1977 and I can’t imagine how Patty and I could have missed seeing it in the old Forum Theater (and that was fun, too! I wish it would re-open). Monsters galore, wonderful sets, and non-stop action and adventure: who could ask for anything more?
Anytime you want to give your brain a rinse, this Sinbad movie would be a good place to start.
