Viewing Notes
Weinberg posted his Top 100 sci-fi films recently but left one of my favorites off his list: This Island Earth. So I ordered from the library and watched (haven’t seen in a long, long time). Still love the sheer campiness of this ‘55 flick during the boom of Hollywood alien invader & outer space films. The Mutant is also one of my favorite monster aliens.
