Film Review October 13, 2006
by Marc Savlov
Description: Assorted workers vie for the coveted title of "Employee of the Month."  
by Marc Savlov
"...1 cashier Vince (Shepard) from his position of (relative) power and thereby win the hand, or at least the labia, of new cashier hottie Amy (Simpson). (Lucky for me, Simpson also supports my theory that Yul Brynner's false-faced gunslinger of Westworld was no special effect … and has been breeding ever since, probably in the L.A..."

A Bald-Faced Lie?
July 8, 1999
by Charles Harp
"...The polite women, when fibbing, inevitably invoke the legendary bald icons: Yul Brynner, Telly Savalas, Captain Picard of the Starship Enterprise, and these days, a raft of predominantly black athletes. This is usually a clue of a well practiced feint: "Oh, they are so handsome and sexy!" Yeah, but what about me? I'm standing right here in front of you!..."
The Mummy
Film Review May 7, 1999
by Marc Savlov
Description: In the pantheon of classic Universal monster movies, the original The Mummy, directed in 1932 by Karl Freund and running just over an hour, was not the start of the...
by Marc Savlov
"...Make no mistake -- this Mummy is an effects film all the way. Early incarnations of the mummy as he seeks to rebuild his corporeality look something like a Todd McFarlane Spawn action figure, though as he garners more fleshy substance (by ingesting the life force of the hapless Yanks who disturbed his crypt) he come to look strikingly like … Yul Brynner!

Screens Column August 1, 1997
by Margaret Moser
"...1960's The Magnificent Seven comes on network TV (8/1, 11:05pm,
TNT), so it will be broken up by commercials, but this western version of Akira
Kurosawa's The Seven Samurai about hired guns invading a Mexican village is a
classic; Elmer Bern-stein's theme became synonymous with Marlboro cigarette TV
commercials in the Sixties. Look for Yul Brynner, Steve McQueen, Eli Wallach, Charles
Bronson, Robert Vaughn, and James Coburn -- they were all pretty much up-and-coming
stars back then..."
