I made the mistake of going to the movies this week. A new movie. In an actual theater. That I had to pay for. Without thinking, I bought a ticket for Terrifier 3, for no other reason than I wanted to see if I could recreate the feeling I used to have back in the… Read More ‘The Executioner’s Song’ (1982): ‘Director’s Cut’ of chilly ‘true life’ novel still a terrifying tale
Frankly at this point, we’d welcome poltergeists at the Movies & Drinks/Drunk TV World Headquarters.
Okay, now look: if you’re stupid enough to actually watch the Super Bowl this year believing that the fix isn’t in, now that the globalist Uni-Party has paid the curiously asexual PSYOP/singer to “hook up” (rrrrrriiiiiiiiiiiight) with the bone-headed “clot shot” shill, all in service of the eventual President Bumbles endorsement, well…I don’t know what… Read More ‘The Oklahoma City Dolls’ (1981): Skip the Big Game. THIS is more fun!
Sedate, languid early ’80s horror…and far better than its unearned poor reputation.
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?
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?
Just in time for Halloween terror: an icy, strange Italian giallo—that also works as dreamy parody—from the master.
…or: The Quentin Tarantino Story!
What if you could travel back in time—say, 1984—to the height of the B-action/adventure ninja craze, and re-live just one moment of your misspent youth—a youth spent wandering the aisles of local mom-and-pop video stores (Hometown Video vs. All That Video for my childhood town of 3,000) and depriving yourself of sleep to catch that… Read More ‘New York Ninja’ (2021): Resurrecting 1984 with love
Hey: there are red flags in even the best relationships. I should have understood that right away when I started dating my wife all those years ago. Now, I let it slide when she said The French Connection and Bullitt were “boring.” And I said, “Fine, whatever,” when she wouldn’t let me hang up my Shaft’s Big… Read More ‘Top Gun’ (1986): A lesson in mid ’80s Hollywood moviemaking
