Through the 1920s Karloff played a string of Mexicans

Through the 1920s Karloff played a string of Mexicans, Arabs, Asians, and lord knows what else in a double handful of small supporting roles.Taken as a whole, Black Sabbath is one of Bava’s very best, and perhaps his most perfect color film. He’d played more than his share of mad scientists up to this point, but here he plays a very nice mad scientist who’s simply trying to sell his rambling (and crumbling) old house in the country.5. “My understanding was that the new format was successful and that the glossy was starting to attract national advertisers. After a beach ceremony, carry the theme into the reception with beach-inspired décor and food.Attending Medieval fairs guarantees fun for the whole family. You don’t even get through the question, 'When did you first read the…’ before the 50-year-old director who brought us Strictly Ballroom, Romeo + Juliet and Australia is in full flow. The character is Jordan Baker, a golf pro who has an affair with Carraway; the actress is Elizabeth Debicki, an ingenue straight from drama school. He was trying to do something good and noble, until he was stopped by ignorant morons who refused to see the possibilities of a world beyond what was at hand.In Arthur Lubin’s Black Friday, Karloff, a brain surgeon, tries to save a close friend’s life by using an illegal experimental procedure to transplant a new brain into his body. The newly minted skinniest Kardashian sister hit the town with hubby Lamar Odom.As a final insult, when Karloff died, the photo that accompanied the wire service obituary that appeared in thousands of newspapers around the world was of singing cowboy-turned-stuntman Glenn Strange in the Frankenstein makeup. As an actor DiCaprio has proved himself a master of the illusion that is movie-making, ever since, as an already-seasoned performer of 18, he almost stole What’s Eating Gilbert Grape? from Johnny Depp. Once more his theories are ridiculed by the short-sighted medical community, forcing him to carry out his experiments in secret on a small island in upstate New York.
