A Hard Day’s Night Film Turns 50
I don’t know about you guys, but I had never seen A Hard Day’s Night all of the way through until recently. The opening scene is iconic — John, Paul, George and Ringo dashing through a train station as screaming…
Big Bad Mama II (1987)
This “sequel” to the 1974 cult classic is more of a remake since the events in the first film are overlooked and the characters are pretty much starting from scratch. This time out after her husband is murdered, Wilma McClatchie…
High School Hellcats (1958)
This is a film that might have shocked some viewers back in 1958, but seen today it just seems laughable. It’s supposed to be an exposé about wicked high school girls, but it never is particularly wicked…just silly. The film…
Trancers (1984)
When one thinks of a B-Movie, one thinks of low-budget, awfully SFX, bad actors, and plots that border idiocy. Well, this little underrated gem surely will erase any preconception you have about it as soon as it starts. Starring Helen…
Ooga Booga (2013)
Just where would we be without Full Moon Features? The production company have given us such classic films as The Puppet Master, Trancers (I-VI, no less), Evil Bong and The Gingerbread Man. Indeed, without these wonderfully catchy and kitchy DVD…
Laserblast
Laserblast is NOT as Bad as everyone says it is, and, not as GOOD as I like to think it is either! This was the first of the many low budget Sci-fi flick’s to hit the theater screens after the…
Parasite (1982)
Every hardcore film buff worth his weight in celluloid has a certain special favorite film which struck a peculiarly responsive chord in him when it was first seen at a young, tender, impressionable age. The fan’s deep-seated affection for this…
Sorceress (1995)
A hot and sexy Linda Blair as the Witch Amelia Reynolds is very upset with her friend and rival Witch across town Erica Barens, Julie Strain. Amelia getting her husband Hal, Edward Albert, to get a promotion at his job…
The Island of Dr. Moreau (1977)
The Island Of Dr Moreau is one of my favourite books. Written by H.G Wells in 1896, it is a chilling and thought-provoking tale about a shipwrecked sailor who ends up on a remote island full of weird animals created…
Ghoulies II (1988)
Those hostile little beasts are at it again in this adequately entertaining sequel. It takes quite a while for it to really get started, but the final half hour is worth waiting for. It’s actually played fairly straight for a…
Creepozoids
In the near future, a group of Army deserters take shelter in an abandoned building to hide from acid rain and the two world superpowers remaining (presumably the United States and Russia, though I do not recall the film being…
Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl-O-Rama
Lucky, lucky you. You don’t have to face real evil every day, the sort of hair-raising, bile-churning, hell-on-earth foulness that the MooCow faces every day of his unimaginably heroic life. But that’s why the MooCow is here: to watch terrible,…
The Pit and the Pendulum
This movie had me hooked from the first scene the first time I saw it, but it has that rare quality of actually getting better with every viewing. As many have said, this is without a doubt Full Moon’s all-time…
Cry of the Banshee (1970)
I’m trying to work my way through Vincent Prices body of work and I’ve seen some pretty impressive stuff like for example the really excellent Roger Corman directed The Fall of the House of Usher. The hokey and fun The…
Jeffrey Combs
Jeffrey Combs was born on September 9th, 1954 in Oxnard, California. He grew up in Lompoc, California with a plethora of siblings both older and younger. He attended the Pacific Conservatory of the Performing Arts in Santa Maria, and the…
California Dreaming (1979)
Dennis Christopher of “Breaking Away” fame delivers a solid, engaging performance as T.T., a gawky, disenchanted, fresh out of high school adolescent hick from Chicago who comes to the cool California beaches to find women, contentment and excitement by becoming…
The Boy From Stalingrad
The Boy from Stalingrad (1943) is all but unknown today, which piqued my curiosity. While it’s not a major discovery, it is a provocative time-capsule piece from World War II, when Russia was our ally. This simple B movie focuses…
Notable Film Composer Launches Site
“I can’t believe I’m doing this with my royalty free music,” says film composer, Chuck Cirino. He’s talking about his new website, Fearless Media Music. Cirino has been scoring Hollywood movie and television music since 1986 including his classic B…
Paul Mazursky dies at 84
Paul Mazursky, the Oscar-nominated writer-director who excelled at mining the urban middle class for laughs as well as tears in such movies as “Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice,” “Blume in Love,” “An Unmarried Woman” and “Down and Out…
King of the Ants (I) (2003)
Stuart Gordon, considered a master of the horror genre thanks to classics like Re-Animator and Dagon, decides to do a different move in this strange trip to human morals. “King of the Ants” is about a regular guy, Sean Crawley(newcomer…
