‘Spacehunter: Adventures in the Forbidden Zone’ (1983): 3-D glasses not required

Ah! That 1980s 3-D that was “new and improved” over the old-timey 3-D…that now looks decidedly old-timey itself.

Umberto Lenzo's HITCHER IN THE DARK (1989), a great example of an Italian exploitation master hitching up (hehe) with a popular American film (it was marketed in Italy as 'Hitcher 2'). Great to see Melrose Place's Josie Bissett in an early starring role. Another great package from @vinegarsyndrome.

Kinetic, bloody slasher. TRICK (2019) was surprisingly fun, with a nice little twist at the end. Released by @rljefilms with horror throwbacks in the cast such as Jamie Kennedy & Tom Atkins. And whatever happened to Omar Epps? Now we know. A @horrorpack Blu-ray selection.

Newest Atari addition, TUTANKHAM, is my 150th 2600 game! Dates back to 1983 when I was 7 & my parents bought the family Atari system. I made sure those first cartridges were kept out of future yard sales!

Picked up a pretty good copy of TAC/SCAN for the Atari 2600, a 1983 port of the 1982 arcade game that I never played. Always fun when an old game is "new to me." The space shooter was released by Sega.

Clint & Gene in 1997's ABSOLUTE POWER - still a riveting political thriller, especially those first 20 minutes with Eastwood's jewel thief inadvertently witnessing debauchery & moyduh involving Hackman's POTUS. A Blu-ray upgrade for me from @warnerbrosentertainment.

The first Fred Astaire/Ginger Rogers musical I ever saw back in the day - SWING TIME (1936) sure looks great on this @criterioncollection release, & still a fun time.

Not-too-bad low-budget indie AFTER DARK (2013) has some of the most awful characters you'll hopefully never meet in real life. Good cinematography for its budget, released on Blu-ray as a @horrorpack exclusive.

Mid-90s indie chills with THE FEAR (1995), via @vinegarsyndrome. I love how shaky the relationships are in this, with each couple cheating on each other at the drop of a hat, all while being chased by a piece of wood. Starring Eddie Bowz & Heather Medway, with old favs Ann Turkel, Vince Edwards, & Wes Craven in a small role.

"She may be phony, but she's a real phony." Enjoyed my rewatch tonight of Breakfast at Tiffany's (1961). Audrey Hepburn & George Peppard are top notch, & I still wanna host a cocktail party as wild as the one in the movie

Just received this month's HorrorPack Blu-ray slate! Link to unboxing in description.

A marathon of laughs with Linnea Quigley, Ginger Lynn Allen & Elizabeth Kaitan in VICE ACADEMY 1, 2 & 3 (1989-1991) - with all three films on @vinegarsyndrome's limired edition Archive line release. Vice Academy 3 is my official Earth Day movie (as you can see in the screen shots). Hopefully, 4, 5 & 6 will see release someday.

Latest video is up featuring my recent haul from Kino Lorber Studio Classics. Link in description.
