‘London’ (2005): It ain’t the city, it’s Jessica Biel
A Film About Love and her Victims. Obsession and betrayal on the cheap makes grown men weep. Okay, okay…Jessica Biel makes them weep.
‘Sixpack Annie’ (1975): Good-natured exploiter, but we want it hornier & nastier. Give us good time!
Vintage Hixploitation-Lite…but that’s more than okay, considering your big-screen summer movie options.
‘Jonathan Livingston Seagull’ (1973): Spectacular-looking movie, but is it strictly for the birds?
Far out, birdbrain.
Joe Sarno’s Inga Collection: Nobody under 18 will be admitted to this DVD collection
It’s springtime here at the Movies & Drinks world headquarters, and that means we’re getting ready to say goodbye to our “Seven Sisters” interns who have been scurrying around here since January, typing up reviews, emptying ashtrays, keeping filing cabinets fully stocked with the owners’ secret libations of choice…only to pour said soused owners into… Read More Joe Sarno’s Inga Collection: Nobody under 18 will be admitted to this DVD collection
‘Beyond the Poseidon Adventure’ (1979): Can disaster epics afford to be this boring?
This unjoyful, remarkably inept exercise in tired disaster conventions scuttled before the anchor was even raised.
‘Esther and the King’ (1960): With Joan Collins on screen & Mario Bava behind the camera, it’s an Easter treat!
Purim peplum. And yeah, I know it’s late, and yes, I know it has nothing to do with Easter, but neither does The Ten Commandments and you don’t see that stopping ABC, now do you.
‘Sweet Kill’ (1971): Are you ready for The Arousers? How about A Kiss from Eddie?
It’s true: you mellow as you get older. For instance, I remember flipping out a few years ago when Shout! Factory released a fullscreen—fullscreen!—transfer of Tab Hunter’s cult serial killer flick, Sweet Kill. Now granted…it wasn’t like the time I suffered a massive breakdown and had to be locked in my office, ranting and raving… Read More ‘Sweet Kill’ (1971): Are you ready for The Arousers? How about A Kiss from Eddie?
‘Poltergeist II: The Other Side’ (1986): Other side of what? Where’s the fright? Where are the scares?
So apparently there’s this sci-fi Smurf cartoon sequel out there right now in theaters that’s cleaning up at the b.o., but I swear I don’t know anyone who’s seen it. Why would they? Of course there’s no accounting for taste (for instance: Dwayne Johnson), but sequels are a favorite topic of discussion for fans (particularly… Read More ‘Poltergeist II: The Other Side’ (1986): Other side of what? Where’s the fright? Where are the scares?
‘The Slams’ (1973): Jim Brown kicks ass in violent prison exploiter
What better counterpoint to all that verkakte “I’m dreaming of a white Christmas” noise than a violent, nasty blaxploitation/prison epic, starring big, bad Jim Brown?
