Cinema Retro celebrates classic and cult films from the sixties and seventies. Currently issue number 10 is making its way to the states through nasty Atlantic weather. I was contacted recently by Cinema Retro about a write-up on Toshiro Mifune, who died ten years ago today. The post is currently up both here and there. It was a pleasure to write about such a fine actor and have a great Retro cinezine like Cinema Retro post it.
Cinema Retro has an impressive list of luminaries engaged with the publication. They include Christopher Lee (do I really have to tell you) , Richard Kiel (The Spy Who Loved Me, Moonraker) , Raymond Benson (author of several James Bond novels, post Ian Fleming), Caroline Munro (Dracula 1972 AD, At the Earth's Core, The Spy Who Loved Me), Lee Pfeiffer ( The Complete Idiot's Guide to Classic Movies 1915-1969, The Essential James Bond, The Films of Clint Eastwood), Jon Heitland (The Man From U.N.C.L.E. Book: The Behind the Scenes Story of a Television Classic) and many more. Read about the full team here.
I highly recommend giving it a read (and not just because of my post, really) if you have an interest in films of the sixties and seventies (and if you don't - what's wrong with you?). You can't go wrong. And if you're not a fan of that period, you will be after thumbing through the archives. Whether cult or classic, they've got it covered.
