I always thought the Invasion Cinema site was pretty cool.  They had some cool retro sci-fi movies and a blog with additional information. I even had the site in my delicious bookmarks and linked from here.

Awhile back, that site seems to have disappeared, so as an offshoot of a video testing project I had done, I decided to create a video site of my own.  I tracked down the retro sci-fi movies that had been on Invasion Cinema’s site.  This includes the following:

• Assignment: Outer Space (1960)
• Attack of the Giant Leeches (1959)
• Destroy All Planets (1968)
• The Giant Gila Monster (1959)
• Killers from Space (1954)
• Mesa of Lost Women (1953)
• The Wasp Woman (1960)

These movies are free and you can watch them on demand.  I will also be adding content to include plot synopsis, cast information, and other information about the films.

While I am at it, I decided to add the classic Superman animated shorts from the 1940s.  This series of animated shorts was done by Max Fleischer and I’ve always wanted to have a site with a “Superman Film Festival” flavor to it.  The first film is up at http://video.butlerblog.com/2009/11/12/superman/ and I’ll be adding more later, until we have the entire series.  You can view the entire “Superman Film Festival” here.
