The Bikini Carwash Company (1992)
Released in 1992, it doesn’t seem like they make this type of softporn sex romp anymore. Sure there is a plot buried in there somewhere. I believe it has to do with saving a car wash. But since when does…
The Bees (1978)
“The Bees” is a LOT of fun (but you have to be willing to go along for the ride and NOT take it seriously at all). Kind of a cross between a TV sitcom (like “Three’s Company”) and Irwin Allen’s…
Thank You To The Creators- Our 3000th Post
This is the 3000th article we have posted. It is really a ton of fun to aggregate articles, get submissions and sometimes even author an article or two on a subject I love “B Movies”. I like watching, thinking about,…
City on Fire (1987)
With all the attention Hong Kong cinema is getting, it becomes almost necessary to describe just how much of an underlying influence it has had on the climate of American film production. John Woo’s films, and his subsequent transplant to…
Oscar Micheaux
Oscar Micheaux, the first African-American to produce a feature-length film (The Homesteader (1919) in 1919) and a sound feature-length film (The Exile (1931) in 1931), is not a major figure in American film just for these milestones, but because his…
School Spirit (1985)
I’m of the opinion that you shouldn’t watch 80’s “Porky’s”-style comedies if you have a low tolerance for head-slapping stupidity. But this movies does REALLY push the envelope. A horny college student (Tom Nolan) dies in an auto accident while…
Beach Blanket Bingo (1965)
The fifth entry in the “Beach Party” series is universally acknowledged as the best of the lot. Having watched three such films in quick succession, I have to agree: it’s not that those concerned made a concentrated effort at creating…
Soldier Blue (1970)
I saw “Soldier Blue” quite recently on British Television. About 2 hours before it was aired, the BBC did a program on George Armstrong Custer, which dispelled the story of a ‘Last Stand’ using archaeological evidence: The Seventh cavalry made…
Dr. Goldfoot and the Bikini Machine (1965)
Now this is what I call a too-little-known gem. Despite being a perpetual “student” of film and being a fan of Vincent Price, 1960s films, and the various genres this film can be seen as, I somehow overlooked this title…
Enthiran (2010)
When was the last time, you watched a movie and came out of a theatre and then continued to talk about that movie for ages to come? If you have an answer, you have another opportunity and if you don’t,…
Hot Dog… The Movie (1984)
With the possible exception of Cusack’s Better Off Dead (which only includes a bit of skiing). In response to whoever wrote something like “if you like Chocolat and the Piano, you’re not going to like this.” I loved Chocolat. I…
Isle of the Dead (1945)
I’m a big fan of Val Lewton’s atmospheric chillers. Of course, he did his best work with the great Jacques Tourneur, but there’s still some gems to found outside of that collaboration. Robert Wise/Boris Karloff film ‘The Body Snatcher’ is…
Cry of the Banshee (1970)
You always know what to expect from this genre of low-budget supernatural-historical movies … peasants with one brain between the lot of them, fine wenches being treated very, very badly, and plenty of over-acting from men wearing tights and funny…
Hamburger: The Motion Picture (1986)
The basic plot is pure formula – a guy who’s been kicked out of 5 universities for lewd behavior, nude behavior, and being caught by the dean while making out with the guidance counselor needs a degree of some sort…
The Silencers (1966)
THE SILENCERS was the first in a line of spy films starring the legendary Dean Martin, but it will probably be enjoyed more by fans of old Dino than by fans of the genre. For one thing, there’s no way…
The Farmer (1977)
I was fortunate enough to see this film, and it is one of the best 70’s style revenge film, but also wisely uses screen time to build up the plight of the lead character, and also has some great “revenge”…
The Day The Fish Came Out (1967)
Michael Cacoyannis, the Greek director, working on his own material, gives us an intriguing look at a would be catastrophic end for all the people in a remote Greek island where nothing ever happens, but where just by a freak…
Used Cars
USED CARS was director Robert Zemeckis’ follow-up to the sweet, sentimental I WANNA HOLD YOUR HAND, and, as he joked in his audio commentary, he wanted to cut loose, swear, and do something supremely tasteless as a follow-up. He succeeded…
Samurai Reincarnation
When you blend historical figures with fictional stories that go way beyond realism, you often get mixed results. Well to be honest you really don’t get good results. Suffice to say it’s a dangerous line to tread. Luckily when you…
The Return of Mr. Moto (1965)
I’m not one of the reviewers who apparently lined up to bash this movie; I think that 20th Century-Fox guaranteed it a hostile reception by inviting comparison with the fondly-remembered Peter Lorre series of thirty years before. On its own…
