Clip of the week: SINBAD OF THE SEVEN SEAS (1989)

A beefy Sinbad (Lou Ferrigno). A slimy monster. A damsel in distress. Lasers. What more can you ask for?

Blog's 15th anniversary: Location: Appian Way (Via Appia)

In celebration of the blog's 15th anniversary, I'll be re-posting old posts. Here's the link to the original post.

Here's a post on the popular location seen in many PEPLUM movie: The Appian Way

The Appian Way is ancient road which date as far back as 312 BC. This historical and picturesque road was used in many PEPLUM films, including QUO VADIS (1951) which actually starts with a voice-over saying "This is the Appian way" as we see a Roman army marching towards Rome. I'd love to go there one day.
