‘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.
‘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?
‘Macon County Line’ (1974): Classic exploiter should be seen at the drive-in!
A buddy of mine gave me a heads up this week that our last local drive-in closed for good a few weeks ago. When I was a kid, there were nine drive-ins spread out in the sticks, and on the fringes of the rapidly-expanding suburbs. Not surprisingly, I kept waiting to feel bad about what… Read More ‘Macon County Line’ (1974): Classic exploiter should be seen at the drive-in!
‘Sixpack Annie’ (1975): Good-natured exploiter, but we want it hornier & nastier. Give us good time!
Vintage Hixploitation-Lite…but that’s more than okay, considering your big-screen summer movie options.
‘Jonathan Livingston Seagull’ (1973): Spectacular-looking movie, but is it strictly for the birds?
Far out, birdbrain.
Joe Sarno’s Inga Collection: Nobody under 18 will be admitted to this DVD collection
It’s springtime here at the Movies & Drinks world headquarters, and that means we’re getting ready to say goodbye to our “Seven Sisters” interns who have been scurrying around here since January, typing up reviews, emptying ashtrays, keeping filing cabinets fully stocked with the owners’ secret libations of choice…only to pour said soused owners into… Read More Joe Sarno’s Inga Collection: Nobody under 18 will be admitted to this DVD collection
‘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.
‘Esther and the King’ (1960): With Joan Collins on screen & Mario Bava behind the camera, it’s an Easter treat!
Purim peplum. And yeah, I know it’s late, and yes, I know it has nothing to do with Easter, but neither does The Ten Commandments and you don’t see that stopping ABC, now do you.
‘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? How about A Kiss from Eddie?
