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…
A Boy and His Dog (1975)
After WW III Vic (Don Johnson) and his dog Blood (played by Tiger from “The Brady Bunch” TV show) travel around looking for women for Vic to rape and food for Blood. They talk telepathically–Vic hears Blood’s voice in his…
The Devil and Leroy Bassett (1973)
This is a film about idiots, drunks, murderers and lunatics and how they help each other escape and evade the police. The allegedly true story centers on how the Bassett Brothers – Wilbur, an intellectually challenged drunken bigot; Leroy, a…
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…
Lust for a Vampire (1971)
The absolutely stunning Danish actress Yutte Stensgaard stars as the vampire seductress Mircalla in Hammer films part two of the “Carmilla Karnstein” trilogy. Not a great film but a worthy one for all Hammer/British horror film fans. Originally to be…
Dementia 13 (1963)
When Alfred Hitchcock’s Marion Crane (of “Psycho”) stepped into the shower and met her fate, it kicked off a slew of stark, grisly chillers about nutcases, often wielding butcher knives or axes. This entry has the distinction of being one…
Mafia Girls (1969)
You can’t fake the amateurism of MAFIA GIRLS, a deservedly forgotten no-budget Florida artifact from the ’60s. Same filmmaker (using that term most broadly) Norman Senfeld did STORM TROOPERS USA, another title resurrected by Something Weird Video that I have…
King of the Rocket Men (1949)
1949’s “King of the Rocket Men” was the first of three serials from Republic Pictures featuring a man wearing essentially the same rocket suit and helmet. The other two, both released in 1952, were “Radar Men From the Moon” and…
Dr. Cyclops (1940)
ALBERT DEKKER is the crazed DR. CYCLOPS who wants to protect his radium discovery by miniaturizing scientists who want to take advantage of his pet project. What’s odd is that material that would ordinarily be found in a B-film, with…
The New Kids (1985)
Sean S. Cunningham (the man behind such films like ‘Friday the 13th’, ‘A Stranger Is Watching ‘ and ‘Deepstar Six’) takes a stab at a routine (but gutsy) revenge/vigilante thriller set in the good ol’ south of Florida with a…
The Black Raven (1943)
This is a confusing mystery with lots of darkness and bumbling around. George Zucco is really the only interesting character. He seems to be part of the criminal element, yet he seems to have dignity and integrity. When a group…
