‘The Unseen’ (1980): Time for some trashy, Halloween-season schlock
You know…someone really should change that diaper.
‘Monsignor’ (1982): Christopher Reeve without the cape is less than Super
There’s this smug little reel going around Facebook that shows pissy, insufferably superior, utterly humorless Christopher Reeve complaining to David Letterman (in 1982) that Marlon Brando wasn’t a “good role model” because he was mean to him and ignored him on the set of Superman. I’m serious.
‘The Executioner’s Song’ (1982): ‘Director’s Cut’ of chilly ‘true life’ novel still a terrifying tale
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
‘Poltergeist III’ (1988): Second sequel not scary enough, but visually better than its predecessor
Frankly at this point, we’d welcome poltergeists at the Movies & Drinks/Drunk TV World Headquarters.
‘The Oklahoma City Dolls’ (1981): Skip the Big Game. THIS is more fun!
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.

‘The Awakening’ (1980): Charlton Heston horror flick better than its reputation, perfect for Halloween viewing
Sedate, languid early ’80s horror…and far better than its unearned poor reputation.
‘An Officer and a Gentleman’ (1982): Richard Gere scams his way to the Navy & Debra Winger
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?
‘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?

‘Tenebrae’ (1982): Sterile, brightly-lit tale of slick, cold violence – one of Argento’s best
Just in time for Halloween terror: an icy, strange Italian giallo—that also works as dreamy parody—from the master.
