Editorial Product Review: :There is good Shemping in all three films in this entry in the Columbia series of Three Stooges shorts. 'Dopey Dicks' (1949, short number 122) reruns some old Curly material (no surprise!) in which a mad scientist wants a brain for his evil experiments. Most of the footage is concerned with the boys being chased by the doctor and his evil assistant as they try to rescue Christine McIntyre and escape the blades aimed at their necks. Shemp's reactions are priceless and there is a lot of good fun here. ...

Editorial Product Review:Description:After their success on Broadway, the 'Dead End Kids' were recruited by Hollywood. Eventually these young kids from the streets of New York became bonified celebrities, known as the 'Bowery Boys' and starred in over 50 films and serials. In this film the boys are accompanied by the comedy duo of Leo Gorcye and Huntz Hall. The combination of gangster melodrama and slapstick scenarios makes this Bowery Boys series a favorite for young and old alike.
Editorial Product Review: :If there is no other reason for watching 'The Hot Scots' (1948, short number 108 in the Columbia series), there is Christine McIntyre dancing a Highland fling with a kilted Moe. Would-be Scotland Yard detectives, the boys consider themselves assigned to a case in the Scottish castle through which they spend most of the film being chased by costumed villains. Other than the dance and some atrocious puns about 'Scotch broth' and other obvious allusions, there is little new here beyond the true and tried double takes and physical punishment. ...

Editorial Product Review: :It's known that some Three Stooges shorts were filmed in a single day, and one can imagine that not much creative thought was put into finding new plots--or situations, rather--around which to build the usual routines. Here, for example, we have 'Vagabond Loafers' (1949, number 118 in the Columbia series) in which Moe, Larry, and Shemp re-create 1940's 'A Plumbing We Will Go.' The funniest part features the reactions of the cook (Dudley Dickerson) who announces that dinner will be delayed 'because of rain.' Even the Niagara Falls bursting from ...
Editorial Product Review:Description:The boundaries of science are pushed to the limit once more in this sequel to the ever-popular 'The Fly.'

But once again nature and science combine with horrible results when Philippe is betrayed by his traitorous assistant, who's trying to steal the secret of the transporter for himself. Stuck with the head and limbs of a fly, Philippe takes spectacular revenge on those who have wronged him, yet must also return ...
Editorial Product Review: :The Three Stooges in Orbit has the team playing not only themselves but themselves trying to make it big on a television show. Since they keep breaking leases by cooking in their apartments, they rent a room in a spooky castle that houses not only a wacky professor (played by 'the fourth Stooge,' Emil Sitka, veteran of many a Stooge short) and his pretty daughter, but a pair of Martians who are waiting for him to perfect his latest invention and use it to conquer the Earth. After an old ...

Editorial Product Review: :'Three Arabian Nuts' (1951, short number 129 in the Columbia series) offers a fairly rare element of the supernatural. While the boys are working on a shipment of mostly breakable (and therefore broken) goods from the East for a client (Vernon Dent), Shemp runs across a magic lamp with a real 'genius' that grants him his wish of flashy clothing, a gift immediately unwished by a jealous Larry. A good deal of the footage is concerned with two angry Arabs trying to decapitate the infidels. For once, all ends well ...
Intel's Core 2 Duo E6700 offers the best price-to-performance ratio we've seen in a desktop chip. For half the cost of AMD's top-of-the-line chip, you get identical if not superior performance and better power efficiency. AMD surprised us last year with its completely dominant dual-core chips, but Intel regains the crown with Core 2 Duo.
