Friday Foster (1975)
I’m sure many fans used to the action-packed Pam Grier flicks must have hated this film when it came out. FRIDAY FOSTER doesn’t feature Grier kicking ass or cussing out a criminal, but does have a great cast, excellent acting…
The Dark (1979)
There’s a very thin line between cult-movies and bad B-movies. THE DARK constantly balances on that line, but when you make up the over-all score, it hopelessly falls into the latter category. It has definitely some elements that scream for…

Ghost Town (1988)
GHOST TOWN is a Charles Band production, but don’t let that turn you away. It’s not as cheapo-looking as some of his others. It reminded me a bit of ARMY OF DARKNESS, in that a modern day man is suddenly…
I Was A Shoplifter (1950)
Principal roles in I Was A Shoplifter fell to Scott Brady (Lawrence Tierney’s brother), the evergreen Mona Freeman, Andrea King and the young `Anthony’ Curtis. Smaller, almost invisible parts go to Charles McGraw, Peggie Castle and Rock Hudson. That’s not…
Dracula 73 (1972) AKA DRACULA 1972 A.D.
The idea of bringing Dracula to contemporary times isn’t bad–after all, it might revive the series a bit by injecting a new story element into a series that Hammer has all but exhausted in a long series of generally excellent…
The Real Bruce Lee (1973)
Sure, there are several vintage clips of Bruce as a child on this DVD. I may be mistaken but I believe these are available elsewhere and in better form. There are also some essentially worthless clips of Bruce Lee doing…

Boot Hill (1969)
Boot Hill is such a different film to the popular ‘Trinity’ films amongst which it was lumped, presumably by the American distributors keen to attract the same appreciative audience, that it often disappoints those who are expecting more of the…

The Devil Commands (1941)
Corny and cliche’d as The Devil Commands may look to the superficial gaze, it’s a powerful expression of the inextinguishable and far from trivial human wish to believe that death is not the end and that the dead we loved…
