Who knew that since the earth and the solar system are already hurtling around the galaxy at such a great speed, that all you have to do to time travel is achieve escape velocity!

Ulmer Sci-fi Blu-ray collection has a lot of interesting audio commentary, and I bet the films have never looked better!Brian Schuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08463833554200343247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4846293972880517466.post-38037616780112210642023-05-08T20:01:37.863-07:002023-05-08T20:01:37.863-07:00Great review, Brian!

But I might upgrade at some point. When I read your summation of Professor Bourman's point by point plan for getting back to the year 1960, for some reason I started thinking of Donnie Darko and the quotes from The Philosophy of Time Travel! The possibilities are endless!!Mike's Movie Roomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15839320118431543221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4846293972880517466.post-32464985359351095242023-05-03T08:19:09.714-07:002023-05-03T08:19:09.714-07:00Thank you!

It's hard to imagine the director of The Black Cat and Beyond the Time Barrier being the same person, but of course they're separated by decades, and in that time he directed in practically every genre. The pencil incident tells me that in spite of spending a whole career directing Bs, he still cared about what he was doing and was proud of his work.<br /> P.S. - Years ago someone asked in the comments why I hadn't reviewed the blog's namesake movie, and I didn't have a good answer. Nice to be able to finally rectify the omission!

I was surprised to learn that Ulmer directed this movie, considering his past accomplishments, but I suppose everyone needs to eat. Thanks so much for joining our little blogathon, and I'll see you...in the future!<br /><br />P.S., regarding your belated review of Beyond the Time Barrier: If it makes you feel any better, after 12+ years, I'm just getting around to dedicating a theme month to Peter Lorre.

While we're certainly flirting with some dystopian conditions here in 2023, I'm cautiously optimistic that we can avoid the worst case scenarios depicted in the movie by the time 2024 rolls around. 😅 At any rate, judge for yourself - there are good copies available on a number of platforms and it's only a 74 minute investment of your time.Brian Schuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08463833554200343247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4846293972880517466.post-24094297907957350132023-04-29T16:34:34.373-07:002023-04-29T16:34:34.373-07:00It is always interesting to see what movies got ri...It is always interesting to see what movies got right and what they got wrong about the future!
