Man, this movie really gets a bum rap. You have to love the wonderful cheesiness of a classic, low-budget science fiction film such as this, but Battle of the Worlds (an Italian film originally released as Il Pianeta Degli Uomini Spenti) comes with the extra special treat of a commanding performance by the legendary Claude Rains. Granted, this didn't exactly mark the height of Rains' career, but I could have watched him stomping around as the arrogant, crotchety, know-it-all astronomer Professor ... Read More

I saw this movie when I was much younger, and it's stuck in my mind as one of the best performances Claude Rains ever gave. (Another one worth searching for is "Crime Without Passion".) He plays a scientist-mystic involved in an alien encounter, a man who holds the earth and its population in contempt, but in the end is only too willing to sacrifice his own life for a glimpse of truth which he'll never be able to share. Unapologetically hostile, out-of-touch with his times, and surrounded by idiots ... Read More

A professor (Claude Rains), "the Old Man" needs no new fangled instrumentality to tell him what he can figure out by calculus. Yes a mysterious planet (planet means wanderer) from another galaxy is on a collision course with earth. However the math does not add up when the planet instead of just missing earth takes up orbit. What can this mean? The professor says we must destroy it immediately.
If the sci-fi thriller part is not enough we have budding love stories to boot.
If the love ... Read More

"Battle of the Worlds" is not the best 'B' movie and probably can be rated as a 'Z' movie, but it is still a cult classic. Cheezy Flicks prided themselves on owning thousands of titles so where are they? And if they think so much about getting them out on disc, why is this version absolutely un-watchable? The print looks like it was dragged behind a car and the colors are washed out and as usual, they have cut off the film company credits and replaced it with their own. So far the best version for print ... Read More

Boring Italian flick dubbed into English starring the great Claude Rains as an eccentric scientist charged with saving the Earth from the mysterious "Outsider", a rogue planet full of flying saucers on a collision course with our own. Rains does his best to carry the picture, but he doesn't have much help. You would think such material wouldn't lend itself to boredom. Until the final scenes within the alien world, somehow the director and cast pull it off. Some accomplishment. The effects are fairly laughable, ... Read More
