Robojox

This movie features a quite ridicules concept of a post WW III apocalyptic world in which wars are being outlawed (yeah right, like that will work) and instead nations let huge robots battle each other to settle disputes and to…

Dracula and Batman In Turkey

Lucky Luke, Belgian cartoonist Morris’s famous cowboy who can “shoot faster than his shadow”; Count Dracula, the father of all vampires; Mandrake the Magician, the hero of Lee Falk’s comic strip who has been a fan favorite in Turkish pop…

The Big Doll House (1971)

Women in prison. So many films featuring women behind bars desiring to break out. Luscious women in the shower, naked and yearning for the sexual contact of a man. The sadistic warden who makes life a living hell for the…

Summer School Teachers (1974)

Three ridiculously sexy girls go from Iowa to Los Angeles to teach summer school in this quasi-sequel to “The Student Teachers”. But whereas the first film was marginally realistic and believable, this is completely absurd, but a lot more fun….

Blood Lake Review

Every three to five years a poison is used to massacre “Vampire Fish” to keep them from reaching Lake Michigan…and that is real life!  Lampreys live off fish blood so what happens if there’s no fish for them to feast…

Death Race 2000 (1975)

David Carradine stars in this classic cult creation. Deathrace 2000 is the 20th anniversary of the murderous trans-continental road race, or, in the words of the US president “what you all want”. You could lose this film in the repertoire…

Goldfinger

A review from 1964 One man’s meat being another man’s poison, who would ever dare to venture on a working definition of that overworked word entertainment? It is the thing which nine out of 10 of us seek whenever we…

Hollywood Barbarian

Everyone has a favorite John Milius story. This is mine: It is the mid-1980s. There is a party at the house of screenwriter Paul Schrader. Milius, who wrote Dirty Harry and Apocalypse Now and directed Conan the Barbarian and Red…

Sacking Hollywood

In the past two weeks we have seen Sony Pictures in a cataclysmic free fall. They had pulled the film, “The Interview”, then at the last minute re-instated the release for Christmas day on a much smaller level. On Christmas…

Hot Moves (1984)

Forged within the sea of endless ’80s teen sex comedies, Hot Moves somehow manages to be much greater than the sum of it parts. This movie saw almost no time in the theaters, showing up only in a few New…

This month marked a watershed in space travel. The test launch of NASA’s Orion spacecraft, the first designed to take humans into deep space, ushered in an age where we will be able to stop by Mars for takeout en…

Gingerdead Man

Few films in history can boast they not only have a knife welding homicidal gingerbread man, but have that gingerbread man voiced by none other than Gary Busey. “The Gingerdead Man” is the one and only film that can make…

Santa Slay

The killer Santa Claus is not new territory for the horror genre. Films such as “Christmas Evil” and “Silent Night, Deadly Night” already explored that territory prior to the release of 2005’s “Santa’s Slay.” However, neither captured the comedy of…

Sugar Cookies (1973)

Starting off, here’s a synopsis: Porno queen Alta Lee (Lynn Lowry) is murdered by her pornographer lover Max (George Shannon) in a game of sexual Russian roulette. Alta’s other lover, icy lesbian casting agent Camila Stone (Mary Woronov), provides an…

Phantasm (1979)

Like everyone that has reviewed this film before me, I am going to sing it’s praises, however, unlike those before me, I’m not quite sure why. This film did everything it was supposed to do as a horror film. It…

Two Front Teeth (2006)

I am just lucky there were only about four people besides me and my friends – this movie kept me laughing so hysterically (with those startled whoops that are so embarrassing later) that I am surprised someone didn’t try to…

Don’t Open Till Christmas (1984)

Despite being shot in a decade when dodos and British horror films were becoming synonymous Don’t Open Till Christmas must have initially seemed like an idea that couldn’t fail. The late movie mogul Dick Randall was a character right out…
