As good as any other fictional hero Carl Kolchak was the everyman hero brought to life every week for one season thanks to Darren McGavin.

) and have often thought about what makes this show work for me so completely and have finally concluded that the reason it endures when many others do not is one simple, important element it has that almost no other scary show seems to have and that is a main character that most people can relate to on an everyday level.

It's a genuine shame that this spin-off TV series inspired by the superior made-for-TV pictures "The Night Stalker" and "The Night Strangler" only lasted a single season and twenty episodes, because at its best this program offered an often winning and highly entertaining blend of sharp cynical humor (Carl Kolchak's spirited verbal sparring matches with perpetually irascible and long-suffering editor Tony Vincenzo were always a treat to watch and hear), clever writing, nifty supernatural menaces (gotta love the offbeat and original creatures in "The Spanish Moss Murders," "The Sentry," and "Horror in the Heights," plus you can't go wrong with such tried'n'true fright favorites as zombies, vampires, werewolves, and witches), colorful characters, lively acting from a raft of cool guest stars (legendary biker flick icon William Smith got a rare chance to tackle a heroic lead in "The Energy Eater" while other episodes featured great veteran character actors like Keenan Wynn, John Fiedler, John Dehner, Severn Darden, and William Daniels in juicy roles), effective moments of genuine suspense (the sewer-set climax of "The Spanish Moss Murders" in particular was truly harrowing), and, best of all, the one and only Darren McGavin in peak zesty form as the brash, aggressive, and excitable, but basically decent, brave, and honest small-time Chicago, Illinois newspaper reporter Carl Kolchak.

I was a sophomore in high school and loved the early episodes!

The wickedly funny, harrowing finale takes place in the Chicago sewer system, and is a series highlight.

His jokes are great, and the back and forth between him and the skeptical editor, Oakland, are downright hilarious.

Having watched it now, I can safely say that I didn’t regret acquiring this beloved (if short-lived) crimehorror series one bit: it may follow a standardized formula – dogged and resourceful newspaperman Carl Kolchak, marvelously played by Darren McGavin, gets into everybody’s hair with his attitude (flustered editor Simon Oakland, long-suffering colleagues, assorted authoritarian figures, a plethora of monsters and villains), faces up to the inevitable (and usually supernatural) threat alone but, finally, is pressured into keeping his story under wraps – but a winning one (further boosted by an impressive line-up of guest stars and notable behind-the-scenes credits), making the show a great deal of fun.

KOLCHAK is a timeless show, that serves as a template for many that followed.

Darren McGavin gives an energetic performance that pulls the audience along with him.

Campy, dated and cheesy - but charming and highly entertaining.

I barely remember this show, a little ,but I remembered it was great!

Both will go down as classics is my opinion the two shows taking the viewers to a level of experience that only comes along once in a while and who should appear in the X Files years later Darren McGavin, as Agent Arthur Dales helping our two favorite hero,s solving cases.

A great classic show that is underrated in my book!

As a result, many of their scenes together are profoundly unbelievable - though they are also quite funny.

It's mind-blowing.

It was really crowded and it was a very ambitious atmosphere to.

It is fantastic on more levels than I can remember.

Very highly recommended by me on the strengths of its un-PC fetal violence.

If you're a fan of Adams, whose movie career is nowhere near as illustrious as it should be, check it out; she's great, as always.

The Unborn goes for psychological horror rather than cheap scares & bad special effects, it's got quite a clever story that works & plays on basic human fears.

The music is very different but very good.

i watched this film many years ago and have searched for it ever since in my opinion although very raw it is very educational as to what the future can hold i enjoyed the movie and to this this day rate it very high sorry to all those that disagree but a movie should always be judged each to there own and in my opinion its great give it a go with all the cloning and test tube babies that are happening today who are we to judge this film, this may be a dramatised event of what is to become but there you go.

The film is actually very funny as well as warm hearted and shows some beautiful locations masterfully captured by the sharp eye of the obvious brilliant cinematographer Suki Medencevic.

Zero Day is a phenomenal film.

It is very realistic and well-done, and it is very difficult to watch.

You may question some decisions of the maker - like choosing a mockumentary form for such a sensitive and horrible subject - but this movie sure hits you in the gut.

It is not a perfect movie but given what moneytime the filmmaker and actors had - it is a remarkable product.

It's a wake up call.

The thing that makes this movie so scary is the way that it portrays Andre and Calvin as (relatively) normal guys.

Overall though a really good movie on a very tough topic.

Overall, this film is emotionally gripping and very haunting and much better than "Elephant".

Cutting to the chase: This is one of the most amazing, most intense film I've seen in a long time.

This movie was excellent, a bit scary, but excellent at that.

Shot on video almost totally from the teen's perspectives "Zero Day" feels very real and authentic, like you are right there.

They pulled off the hand-held camera, perfectly.

all know this film is well a film you forget you watching a film and watching a real video two boys made.

What is secondly most enthralling about this film is the character development and the unique dependence Cal and Andre have on each other.

First, I have to say after seeing this once, it became one of my all-time favorite movies.

The movie is amazing.

As a fan of looking further into the phenomenon that is school shootings, this film took an interesting and different approach to the idea.

The two lead actors are awesome, the film isn't ever boring, and the concept behind it (though obviously inspired by the Columbine killings and the home movies of the killers) is really interesting.

What I think this movie did that Elephant did not is that they made us see how these guys were.

What I think this movie did that Elephant did not is that they made us see how these guys were.

ZERO DAY, purportedly made up of videotapes made by the shooters and found after the event, is absolutely riveting.

This is the best movie I've come across in a long while.

It's an amazing movie.

This film is scary because you can find yourself relating to ideas they have and can recall other people saying and having simialr ideas make this a haunting well done movie....

You can't believe it's really happening, and that it's really happened.

Very powerful and intense...

I Have Seen A lot Of Movies On This Attack, And This Movie By Far Is My Favorite, And Most Respected.

I recommend this movie to all the people in love with the most awesome brother cast from One Tree Hill.

I think that Andy Goldsworthy's work, which I had no idea existed before I watched this movie, is incredibly impressive, and I'm glad that this film was made in order to showcase it.

But to see his work in motion, captured perfectly through Riedelsheimer's lens, was a revelation.

Insight into the mind and motivation of a wonderful artist.

It is one of the most beautiful documentaries that I have ever seen and one of the most spiritual.

So it was a treat to get to know the artist personally through this film, he is just as patient and gentle as you would expect, and has some wonderful things to say about the natural world, the deepest of which are expressed in his occasional inability to say it in words at all.

The film, and the work, is beautiful, inspiring, and thought provoking.

Following him over the course of a year, the director captures the spontaneous energy, skill, and devotion to the artists connection with nature with dratic inspiring flair.

The filmmaker inhaled Andy Goldsworthy's art, his search for closeness with the land and the water, and his sense of proportion -- and so gently, so beautifully breathed it back on to film for the rest of us.

The capture of the creation and dissolution of Goldworthy's work is in itself a striking piece of art.

A very engaging documentary about Scottish artist Andy Goldsworthy, whose work consists mostly of ephemeral sculptures made from elements from nature.

This film is stunningly beautiful.

this has by far been one of the most beautiful portraits of a person that I've ever seen on screen.

I first saw this absolutely riveting documentary in it's initial release back in 2001,and it really had a profound effect on me, so much that I bugged several of my friends to see it with me on repeat screenings.

It had an overall meditative quality from the music, to the beautiful photography, and listening to the often cliché things about life that Andy Goldsworthy would say as he worked or in between shots.

This whole movie gives you a warm feeling, seeing him play with the world around him with such love.

The film makers did a wonderful job of bringing Goldsworthy's work to life, and created a beautiful film that was a joy to watch.

Go see this movie for the gorgeous imagery of Andy Goldsworthy's sculptures, and treat yourself to a thoroughly eye-opening and relaxing experience.

This film is mesmerizing in its beauty and creativity.

The effortless motion of Goldsworthy, as he molds natures beauty into his own work is captivating.

Wonderful.

Yesterday I was struck by the brilliance of the images and Goldsworthy's works.

I know all this info as I used to be the president of the Twice Upon A Time Fan Club (still have numerous items from the movie - used to own a letter-boxed version of the 'adult' version, but it was stolen - only have a partial HBO copy of it now).

With a surprisingly impressive soundtrack and wonderful voice acting by some of the best in the business, this offbeat movie hits the mark.

One of the most unheralded great works of animation.

Innovative animation techniques combine with a great script and excellent voicing to produce a movie that appeals on lots of levels.

It's still wildly creative and sick, a total success on so many levels.

A lush fantasy world with quirky characters and annoying 80's music.

Brilliantly conceived characters such as the shape-shifting dog Ralph (one of a duo of bumbling, rejected heroes), Synonamess Botch (the hilariously foul-mouthed villain) and Rod Rescueman (the pompous novice superhero) breathe life into a uniquely clever concept: Frivoli vs.

Set in the Cameroons in West Africa in the 1950s, Claire Denis' Chocolat is a beautifully photographed and emotionally resonant tone poem that depicts the effects of a dying colonialism on a young family during the last years of French rule.

My 3rd-year French classes always enjoyed this film very much.

Its subtle themes of belonging, identity, racial relations and especially how colonialism harms all parties, transcend the obvious dramatic tensions, the nostalgic memories of the protaganiste's childhood, and the exoticism of her relationship with her parents' "houseboy," perhaps the only "real" human she knows.

This is an amazing film to watch or show young people.

I was struck with the dignity of Potee, with his struggle to maintain his dignity among his peers and with his white bosses.

But I was truly enraptured by its quiet pacing and by the glorious ending.

Anyway, it's one of my all-time favorite movies.

Their facial expressions say everything.

It was responsible for launching Claire Denis' career and with good reason: it's an incredible directorial debut.

It gives a sense of what life was like both for the colonists and for the natives with whom they associated.

The film presents a very interesting look at the household of a European colonial family living in Cameroon, giving the viewer an informative perspective on the lives of many characters and their interaction.

Missed in this movie was the depth, a very deep film, many layers of emotion, affecting.

It is a beautifully filmed human story.

A great discourse.

the understanding that does come is fraught with the unresolved memories and subjectivity of the outsider.

I read somewhere that she isn't really ballerina, but the editing in this film did a very good job of making her dancing look not only natural but beautiful.

The script is great - it's so...

With no violence and such a warming story its a great movie to relax to and just enjoy your night.

A great storyline with a message.

A little sappy, but the story is uplifting an fresh.

I find this movie to be a welcomed change as it reflects quieter, thoughtful values for the growing up years, and no violence thank goodness.
