‘Three on a Couch’ (1966): Jerry Lewis comedy offers few laughs
Mill Creek Entertainment has released the Jerry Lewis Comedy Triple Feature, a single disc—that’s a lot of info crammed onto one disc—collection including 1966’s Three on a Couch (first time on DVD, I believe), 1968’s Don’t Raise the Bridge, Lower the River, and 1969’s Hook, Line, and Sinker. Now…these aren’t exactly the titles I’d pick… Read More ‘Three on a Couch’ (1966): Jerry Lewis comedy offers few laughs
‘Elizabeth Taylor & Richard Burton: The Film Collection’: Watch it on the big screen!
Are you watching movies on your phone?
‘Get Yourself a College Girl’ (1964): A pop music Christmastime treat
Some cheap, tuneful B-movie Christmas cheer! 1964’s Get Yourself a College Girl, available through Warner Bros.’ Archive Collection, is a good-looking, mildly amusing Sam Katzman cheapie for M-G-M, helped considerably by some socko musical numbers from The Animals, The Dave Clark Five, Stan Getz & Astrud Gilberto, The Standells, and The Jimmy Smith Trio.
‘The Trip’ (1967): As in, an acid trip, man

‘Night Must Fall’ (1964): Vastly underrated British shocker
Night Must Fall is an alarming, misunderstood shocker, sadly neglected now and when first released, featuring a tour-de-force Albert Finney performance.
‘A Quiet Place in the Country’ (1969): Brilliant, psychological horror giallo
When the calendar hits October, the Movies & Drinks office floors are soon littered with numerous horror DVD cases strewn about, as thoughts of ghosts and possessed dolls and hockey masked serial killers—along with, hopefully, semi-clad high school cheerleaders running around in jeopardy—harken the arrival of Halloween. Looking at the latest release dates, I noticed… Read More ‘A Quiet Place in the Country’ (1969): Brilliant, psychological horror giallo
‘All Neat in Black Stockings’ (1969): Little, anonymous, & flat-out brilliant
Bawdy late 60s “Swinging London” comedy with plenty of dishy birds for you plonkers…whoa, wait a minute—it’s depressing as hell.
‘Boeing Boeing’ (1965): Ladies, lust & Jerry Lewis laughs
Another legend passes on.
