‘White Noise’ (2005): Michael Keaton tries to reach dead wife through TV
Sometimes the journey is better than the destination, and that’s no different on the silver screen. (At least a lot of people bought tickets.)

‘Sweet Hostage’ (1975): Linda Blair is kidnapped by Martin Sheen in TV exploiter
A must-have primer for every would-be romantic kidnapper out there…although the only way Sweet Hostage would be remade today is if Bradley Cooper kidnapped Dylan Mulvaney.
‘The Mad Magician’ (1954): Vincent Price chews the scenery in 3D thriller
So I guess there’s a new Saw movie out there in those theatres that I hear young people go to on occasion. Jesus…if I “want to play a game,” Jigsaw, it’ll be the one where I try to make it through another hopeless night without jumping off a building. It’s remarkable what people will pay… Read More ‘The Mad Magician’ (1954): Vincent Price chews the scenery in 3D thriller
‘The Iron Rose’ (1973): Don’t fight it. This sensual, visual poem must be experienced
It’s Halloween, so…you ever been in a psycho-sexual fugue state? It’s fun.
‘The Awakening’ (1980): Charlton Heston horror flick better than its reputation, perfect for Halloween viewing
Sedate, languid early ’80s horror…and far better than its unearned poor reputation.
‘The Sorcerers’ (1967): Grungy sci-fi/horror exploiter has a unique, unexpected tone

Brilliant, surreal physical comedy, where torture and pain are elevated to breathtaking grace.
‘Jacqueline Susann’s Once is Not Enough’ (1975): When filmmakers treat literary trash seriously
After seeing what’s been the number one movie in America for the past few weeks (suffice to say: if you have young sons—you should be very, very worried about their future), absolute shit like Jacqueline Susann’s Once is Not Enough start to look half-way decent by comparison.
‘An Officer and a Gentleman’ (1982): Richard Gere scams his way to the Navy & Debra Winger
Wasn’t our Tommy boy supposed to be in another Top Gun fest this summer? What’s that? Not a Top Gun? Another Mission: Impossible? They’re not pumping out TP (yes, it can mean “toilet paper,” too) sequels like pancakes after that last one saved Hollyweird?
‘Macon County Line’ (1974): Classic exploiter should be seen at the drive-in!
A buddy of mine gave me a heads up this week that our last local drive-in closed for good a few weeks ago. When I was a kid, there were nine drive-ins spread out in the sticks, and on the fringes of the rapidly-expanding suburbs. Not surprisingly, I kept waiting to feel bad about what… Read More ‘Macon County Line’ (1974): Classic exploiter should be seen at the drive-in!
