You have to love a movie in which the San Diego Chicken actually helps take down killer tomatoes. When the original Attack of the Killer Tomatoes was released in 1978, it seemed to be a parody of B movies from the post-WWII era as well as the “When Nature Attacks” movies that had exploded followingContinue reading “‘Killer Tomatoes’ Attack In Classic Horror Comedies”

‘Magnum Force’ Proves Two Wrongs Don’t Make A Right
In light of recent events, I thought of looking back at the Dirty Harry sequel Magnum Force. This post does contain spoilers! I’ve argued with a lot of people that Inspector Harry Callahan (Clint Eastwood) isn’t as fascist as people have thought. If you look at the first Dirty Harry, it’s more of a cat-and-mouseContinue reading “‘Magnum Force’ Proves Two Wrongs Don’t Make A Right”
Bish Be Trippin’ All Da Time, Mah!
As a supporter of the LGBTQIA community, I don’t believe that homosexuality is a choice. Yet, so far this month, I can can understand why some men decide just to be with other men. If there weas a Bang, Smash, Dash consisting of Kendra Licari, Phillies Karen, and Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders, most men wouldContinue reading “Bish Be Trippin’ All Da Time, Mah!”
‘The Faculty’ Is Old-School Sci-Fi/Horror That Makes The Grade
The Faculty is one of those horror movies that is the last of its kind. Released in late December 1998, no one associated with the production could’ve ever thought of the massacre four months later at Columbine High School in Littleton, Colo. There’s no way a movie like this could be filmed now and thoseContinue reading “‘The Faculty’ Is Old-School Sci-Fi/Horror That Makes The Grade”
Rest In Power, Graham Greene
Graham Greene was 37 when he was cast in the role that would forever change his life and career. He had been acting in a few small roles on the TV and in movies. Born on the Six Nations Reserve in Ohsweken, Ontario, he had been acting since his early 20s. But in 1989, heContinue reading “Rest In Power, Graham Greene”
Ah, Shucks For ‘Clown In A Cornfield’
I have to hand it to Eli Roth. I’ve not liked a lot of his movies and think he’s way too full of himself a lot of times just like his one of his collaborators, Quentin Tarantino. But his 2023 movie Thanksgiving was a great ode to the 1980s slasher craze with some social commentaryContinue reading “Ah, Shucks For ‘Clown In A Cornfield’”
‘Kraven The Hunter’ Gets Poached
I’ve often wondered if people who work in some professions really like or hate their jobs to the point they’re embarrassed to tell anyone what they do. One of my friends was going to interview for a position at Adult Video News but decided at the last minute not to go because he wouldn’t knowContinue reading “‘Kraven The Hunter’ Gets Poached”
‘Stay Tuned’ Gets Mixed Reception
Stay Tuned is one of those movies that tries too hard to a movie for everyone that it never really pushes the boundaries of what it could’ve been capable of. This, I’m sure, is because the production company, Morgan Creek, was in need of a huge hit. That would come later in 1992 with theirContinue reading “‘Stay Tuned’ Gets Mixed Reception”
‘The Limey’ Is Terence Stamp’s Wonderful Masterpiece
A movie like The Limey is the type of movie an actor makes later in their career that comes after a previous flick causes a career resurgence. Terence Stamp, who recently died, had been working in the movies since the early 1960s when he was young and full of promise. Yet, there were a fewContinue reading “‘The Limey’ Is Terence Stamp’s Wonderful Masterpiece”
‘The Pickup’ Can Dropped Off
Every year, it seems a writer or actor has a dichotomy where one of their movies is the best while the other is the worst. And then there’s the double whammy where an actor or writer has two of the worst movies of their career released in the same year. Eva Longoria has the distinctionContinue reading “‘The Pickup’ Can Dropped Off”
