Abbott and Costello Meet Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1953)
Admittedly inferior to their arguably best “Meet” film ABBOTT AND COSTELLO MEET FRANKENSTEIN five years earlier during their golden age, this was easily the best of their films in their declining years of the early to mid fifties. The boys…
Corridors of Blood (1958)

Cold Turkey (1971)
Cold Turkey is my all time favorite comedy and a very underrated film that many people have not seen. Still relevant today it is a classic satire of smoking and American life. Filmed in Iowa in 1969 and released to…
Project A 2 (1987)
Many films claim to be like riding a roller coaster, but this more or less typical adventure from Asian sensation Jackie Chan is the genuine article: a fast, furious, and totally physical wide-screen action comedy. The convoluted screenplay, picking up…

The Street Fighter (1974)
Sonny Chiba has been described by some as an anti-Bruce Lee and I agree, but to a certain extent. You see, it’s not really fair considering that Lee is dead, they both hail from separate nationalities, represent different martial arts…
Soul of Bruce Lee (1977)
It begins rather mundanely, but about 20 minutes into it Sonny Chiba has a nicely staged fight on a bridge so I continued watching. Then arrived the scene that caused me to stop plucking on the guitar and give the…
The Assassin (1970)
A fresh-faced Sonny Chiba is the James Bond-alike hero in this efficient thriller that mixes together plenty of diverse ingredients for movie fans: there’s a ton of broad comedy (typically involving unlucky folk and a cross-dresser), plenty of cool action,…

Herschell Gordon Lewis’ movies are an acquired taste, and ‘The Gore Gore Girls’ is a perfect example of this. Many people find the combination of silly humour with extreme gore shots involving the torture and murder of women difficult to…
The Bermuda Depths (1978)
Not many people know that animation studio Rankin/Bass made a few stabs into live-action productions. This may be their best known, if only because (especially evident in these user comments) so many people remember it from their childhoods! I can…
The Forest (1982)
Some happy campers are stalked and viciously butchered by a demented cannibalistic killer called Daddy.”The Forest” is one of the strangest slasher flicks I have ever seen.It starts fairly competently,but quickly becomes boring and tedious.The opening murder scene of two…
Andromeda Nebula (1967)
This film was considered for some strange reason as not really successful (may be it was politically incorrect for its time) and almost not shown and theatres and TV. I saw it only once in 1990 during “Old Sci-Fi festival”…
Monstroid (1980)
Monster is a mind numbingly awful movie about an evil American concrete factory (are there any else in Hollywood?) polluting the waters of the small Colombian town of Chimayo somehow creating a catfish-like beast with a predilection for lamb and…
