Question:About 25 years ago, my mom and I watched a movie that, to this day, I have yet to learn the name of. I have no idea who was in it, but it seems to me that it was something about coffins and a hearse. If I remember correctly, there was a scene in it that involved a woman being chased by a hearse, possibly to the edge of a cliff. Sorry to be so vague, but if you could help, I would be forever in your debt!
Answer: Sounds a lot like "The Hearse," which was released in 1980. It stars Trish Van Devere and Joseph Cotton. It's on video and DVD.

Question:I have a question that I hope you can answer. Anytime I mention this, my husband thinks I'm crazy. When I was in junior high school, approximately 25 years ago, I remember seeing a movie in science class called "Primordial Stew," and I remember Julie Childs being in it. Does this really exist, or was it just a bad dream?
Answer: This Julie Childs of whom you speak — is she any relation to the late cookbook author and TV host Julia Child? Yes, the movie is called "Primordial Soup." It really exists, it features Child, it's not a bad dream and it isn't yet on video.
