Another Monday, this a Veteran's day, rolls around in Los Angeles, where the sun is shining again like the 4th of July. Two eccentric discs to review today ...

All Day's All Monsters Attack! is a dizzying marathon of titanic terrors stomping cities, screaming mobs, and miniature buildings, all sold with the hype-pedal pushed to the floor. It's a great nostalgic ride ... Savant remembers seeing the trailer for The Beginning of the End at age 5 and being nailed to his seat.

Columbia TriStar's The Road to Wellville is a curious look at a fascinating point in American history, when the idle rich turned to quack health gurus. But the comedy is too broad to take seriously, so what we're left with are a lot of grotesque situations, flatulence jokes and sexual hysteria. Anthony Hopkins is pretty amazing to see, however, as the buck-toothed Cornflake King, a doctor turned quack-cure millionaire.

Thanks! Glenn Erickson
