Invasion of the Saucer Men (1957)

This is one of those sci-fi movies of the 50s that obviously did not take itself too seriously. Sure, the typical invasion from outer space was the theme of the film, but the bug-eyed aliens are so gosh-darn cute and…

The Beast with a Million Eyes (1955)

To call this film “cheesy” or imply that it is “worse than Ed Wood” is absurd. The Beast With A Million Eyes may indeed have a pathetic space ship that looks like a coffee percolator, but the film itself is…

Target Earth (1954)

The fifties were the decade for the teenager. He/she had money and time to spend on just about anything. So Hollywood stepped in to fill part of the void. I like the fifties an sixties sci-fi and horror flicks because,…

Speak of the Devil (1989)

After a mishap, a phony evangelist and his wife chose a more lucrative business – opening a satanist’s convent ! In fact they do so well that they get in touch with the Horned One who sends them a little…

Phoenix the Warrior (1988)

“She-Wolves of the Wasteland” belongs to the “post-nuclear war” movies wave that followed “Mad Max”. Provided with a typical 80s disco keyboard soundtrack, its most unusual element is the cast which comprises almost entirely of females. Did I hear anyone…

Sorority Babes In The Slimeball Bowl-O-Rama 2

The babes are back! And so is everyone’s favourite wish-grantin’, murder-lovin’ mischievous gremlin, the Imp! The Tri-Delta sorority house has seen better days, but the girls are intent on gaining some new recruits! With housemother Mama Spider as their guide,…

Water Wars (2014)

Water wars is a movie which has a lot of nude girls some being stripped and some being making love scenes and apart from that this movie has nothing but useless fighting and baseless running around here and there and…

Empire of Ash 2 (1988)

Empire of has a lot going for it at first glance. Plenty of action, lots of guns, lots of armour clad vehicles, topless girls, rock soundtrack and plenty of extras. The direction is decent for the most part too in…

Getting Lucky (1990)

Getting Lucky, a largely inept and amateurish exploitation flick, follows the adventures of a stereotypical high school nerd in love with the pretty blonde (and bland) cheerleader. Upon finding a leprechaun in a beer bottle, our hero goes on a…

Corona Zombies (2020)

Corona Zombies. I expected another cheap movie that never should have been done that seem to fill up the horror genre on every movie website these days. Sure, this movie was low budget but it was very cleverly done.I loved…

Nazis at the Center of the Earth (2012)

Butter up the popcorn, turn down the lights, and strap in for this roller-coaster gore-fest from Asylum Pictures. It starts off a bit slow, but once things get moving, prepare for a real treat. It’s a comic book adventure come…

Cucuy: The Boogeyman (2018)

Based on a true Mexican urban legend about a boogeyman who abducts, & eats, naughty children, I am pleased to report that “Cucuy: The Boogeyman” is a step above the usual Syfy Channel movie. I admit that I’d never heard…

NightWars (1988)

I have commented before on how I generally find David A. Prior’s ideas to be really cool, but his direction to be very poor. The big exception to this was `Lock ‘N Load,’ which I found to be great. Other…

So Help Me God -Unproduced

A regretfully unproduced movie to be directed by Michael Anderson and written by Larry Cohen

High on the Hog (2019)

“High On The Hog” That Stars The Legendary Character Actor Sid Haig An Superb Performance That Will Definitely Called To Be One Of His Very Best Movie Roles Of His Career Who Also Produced This Film As Well As “Big…

Resident Evil: Apocalypse (2004)

Following the success of the 2002 adaptation from video game to film that was ‘Resident Evil’, comes its tantalizingly-trailered sequel, ‘Resident Evil: Apocalypse’. I have to say, I was entranced by the trailer of this film. I seriously thought that…

Drive In Massacre (1976)

or the type of movie this is, given when it was made, and a total lack of big name stars ( or small name stars for that matter ) this film is very watchable. The players, none of whom are…

Jack And The Movies

Even though it is hot here in the MidWest, fall is peaking its colorful head around the corner. I look forward to the fall because a mantle of peace and cooler temperatures descends on this small town of mine. This…

Diners, The Movies and Genuine Experience

Diners, THe Movies And I love east coast diners. There is a sense of wonder whenever you enter one. Usually the waiters and waitresses have spent decades working there and even upon first viewing they drip with a sense of…

Community, The Movies and 9/11

A community is a group of people who share something in common. You can define a community by the shared attributes of the people in it and/or by the strength of the connections among them. You need a bunch of…
