A Piranhaconda Summer-NYT

Midnight Movie Bucks

Rosalba Neri

Sniggering at Prometheus?

See if you can guess which vapid, if visually impressive, Ridley Scott science fiction opus these quotes are describing: “Not the seminal science fiction film one wants from Ridley Scott…the sets and special effects are well done, but these things…

Corman In P Town

Roger Corman, the king of B movies, is living proof of P.T. Barnum’s observation that nobody ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American people. But the iconic low-budget legend says he’s tried! The producer of cinematic popcorn such…

The Pom Pom Girls
