In today's Really Late Movie Review, I'm going back to the 1956

classic Forbidden Planet. Forbidden Planet is one of the first real

science fiction movie that I'd seen. From the mystery, the sci-fi

exploration of humanity, and Robby the Robot, I love it.

It stars Leslie Nielsen, Walter Pidgeon, and Anne Francis. Nielsen and

Pidgeon, especially, are excellent. Does it look campy? Yes. Is the

story amazing? Absolutely.

off. What is Twitch thinking?

day can do so much to make our lives better.
