The Electronic Monster (1958)
British made – with scarcely a British accent evident, Escapement is an extremely corny B-Film yet somehow gripping. Rod Cameron’s wooden all-american hero chews the scenery while Mary Murphy’s natural beauty makes that scenery glow. This film would certainly not…
Shaun of the Dead (2004)
Shaun of the Dead is quite a surprising and brilliant piece of work which I suspect will achieve the accolade of instant cult status as word of mouth snowballs this film to richly deserved recognition. Simon Pegg, both the joint…
The Psychopath (1966)

Robinson Crusoe on Mars (1964)
Few sci-fi films in cinema history present viewers with an alien landscape so starkly beautiful and desolate as the one in this film. Our setting is an empty and foreboding land of majestic cliffs, barren deserts, and imposing geologic monoliths….
It Follows (2014)

Return of the Killer Tomatoes! (1988)
In the late 80s when sequels were being put out at an incredible rate, this little film called “Return of the Killer Tomatoes” was released. It definately ranks among the best comedy sequels I’ve ever seen. Possibly the funniest sequel…
Mad Max (1979)
Mad Max is 70’s type of classic dystopian action film the film that started it all and became the first in a series that launches some awesome great sequels. Max Rockatansky is iconic hero till it’s day he is a…
Capricorn One (1977)
The movie has a really great premise, that provides the movie with plenty of thriller elements and action. It has a lot of elements in it that always make ’70’s movies such great ones to watch. It’s a movie with…
Phase IV (1974)
A fairly unknown SF film, but I would definitely recommend it. It’s in typical seventies style: the world is doomed, the human race has messed up, and now we pay the price. Well, what else is new, right? The things…

Logan’s Run (1976)
Logan’s Run is quite simply a mythic film. It could survive the critical test of being stored in a time vault for many thousands of years: the themes are universal. There is a misperception that it has aged badly and…
Madhouse (1974)
This was made around the same time as ‘Vault of horror’ and it shows. Vincent Price is an ageing movie star who is asked to reprise his role as a killer a few years after his wife-to-be was decapitated by…
The Thirsty Dead (1974)
This was included in the “Living Dead” 9-film collection I rented; however, there are no zombies here and the title itself isn’t a reference to anything in particular! The Widescreen print of this one was the best-looking from the…
The Secret Sauce Of Movie Going: Nostalgia
Things change. This week things changed for the movie exhibition industry in a way that will in my estimation force it to re-invent itself in order to maintain its existence. Disney + landed this Tuesday. When it arrived it immediately…
