Wild, Wild Planet (1966)
Director Antonio Margheriti’s Italian sci-fi / mystery would be the first chapter of the Gamma One quadtrilogy. I have already seen the second addition, which was rather dull. A doctor practicing biomedicine under the protection of a private own employer…
Prison Girls (1972)
Obviously influenced by the success of films like THE STUDENT NURSES, this rather sleazy exploitation picture has six females getting a weekend furlong out of prison so that they can reconnect with their outside lives before getting released for good…
Prison Girls (1942)
Dr. Rosemary Walsh, in the last months of a four-year sentence at a state prison farm after being convicted of a mercy killing, is taken hostage when gangsters Nick Morelli and Baldy break their molls Nellie and Jane out of…
Oasis of the Zombies (1982)
This is Jesus Franco’s addition to the zombie boom of the early 80s. He may be an exploitation director but is more a sleaze-monger than an out and out horror film-maker. In this respect he is similar to Jean Rollin,…
Devil’s Express (1976)
The man with one of the most awesome names in human history, Warhawk Tanzania, stars as New York City Kung-Fu instructor Luke Curtis. He and his none-too-bright compatriot/student Roldan (Roldan) travel to “China” to brush up on their martial arts….
Savage Sisters (1974)
‘Savage Sisters’ comes from the same period as the Jack Hill led Filipino “chicks in chains” flicks of the early 70s ( see ‘The Big Doll House’ and ‘The Big Bird Cage’ for the best of the genre). Hill wasn’t…
The Joy Of Concessions
I am not a fan in the current trend of trying to meld a restaurant into a theatre environment. I think it takes away from the core of what a theatre should be and overlays another business model which has…
Cherry 2000 (1987)
“Cherry 2000” is a sort of post-apocalyptic science fiction Western, a cross between “Mad Max” and “The Stepford Wives”. The year is 2017, thirty years in the future when the film was made in 1987. Following some unspecified apocalypse America…
2069: A Sex Odyssey (1974)
If you are looking for an erotic masterpiece this isn’t it. If you’re looking for a comedic masterpiece this isn’t it. If you’re looking for something hardcore this isn’t it. That being said if you are looking for an example…
Invasion of the Animal People (1959)
Jerry Warren’s second contribution to the 50’s yeti creature feature cycle after the shockingly good “Man Beast” was this simply abysmal atrocity. This time Jerry took a ’59 Swedish sci-fi/horror flick and shot crummy new footage with frequent co-star John…
The Streetfighter (1974)
Remember during the height of the martial arts movie boom (roughly 1973-1976) the reputation that chopsocky films had for being replete with misery, violence, gore and degradation of the human spirit? Well, most films in the genre didn’t live up…
Bela Lugosi Meets a Brooklyn Gorilla (1952)
Hilariously funny grade-D movie about two entertainers, Duke Mitchell & Sammy Petrillo, who drop in unannounced in the tropical island of Cola Cola only to end up being used by the evil Dr. Zabor, Bela Lugosi, The mad scientist on…
The Cry Baby Killer (1958)
Recently, this viewer happened to watch, for the first time, the 1950 film “The Men,” historically important today as the screen debut of 26-year-old Marlon Brando. And by some strange coincidence, my next film, also seen for the first time,…
Attack of the Jungle Women (1959)
I really don’t know what these people were thinking when they made this movie. As a bad movie fan, my favorite kind of bad movie is the obscure, little-known b-movie that probably only got released onto video through some misdirected…
Beyond Atlantis (1973)
A fisherman (the always amusing Vic Diaz) heads to the big city to sell some rare pearls to the local pimp/dealer/criminal of all trades East Eddie(trash cinema king Sid Haig). Smelling more money where that came from, Eddie rounds up…

Captive Women (1952)
As I have stated elsewhere in this forum, film firsts should be noted and applauded even if the films they appear in are otherwise unremarkable. The vaguely titled CAPTIVE WOMEN is set in a post nuclear holocaust world where three…
