Discussion of popular movies, obscure VHS faves, & genre films

‘Having a Wild Weekend’ (1965): No one can tolerate reality; escapism is the only alternative

Your typical Elvis musical stripped of all the on-camera performances, the bikinis, the laughs (except when Guy and Nan start sniping at each other)…and then heavily medicated for severe depression.

‘They Live’ (1988): Pro wrestler is John Carpenter’s muse in politically-tinged thriller

“I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass. And I’m all out of bubblegum.”

‘Dark of the Sun’ (1968): Hyper-violent, sadistic actioner remains relentless

Slam-bang, lightning-fast, crude, vital actioner…with something on its mind.

‘Hard Ticket to Hawaii’ (1987): The very best of ’80s B-movie escapism

‘Sands of the Kalahari’ (1965): Neglected masterpiece of perverted, grand heroics & ironic, cynical adventure

Absolutely terrific chest-beating adventure flick: strange, thrilling, and beautifully put together.

‘Jacqueline Susann’s The Love Machine’ (1971): Aggressively inept, trashy schlock (thank god)

Awfulness like this is rare—it needs to be acknowledged and celebrated.
