‘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 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.
‘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.
‘Macon County Line’ (1974): Classic exploiter should be seen at the drive-in!

Far out, birdbrain.

‘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.
‘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?
