Discussion of popular movies, obscure VHS faves, & genre films

Tag: Warner Archive

‘The Terminal Man’ (1974): Bleak foreshadowing of today’s cold, tech-obsessed world

Cold, impersonal, distant Frankenstein re-imagining―and a fairly perverse jab at its horror/suspense genre conventions.

‘Targets’ (1968): Nightmarish, disturbing take on guns & violence

“What you hunting this time?” “Going to shoot some pigs.”

‘Kansas City Bomber’ (1972): Misunderstood action-drama an effective, evocative melodrama

Grimy, relentlessly downbeat actioner/drama, incisive and intriguingly hazy—and far better than its rep indicates—with Raquel Welch’s first really accomplished performance.

‘Corky’ (1972): A dour nightmare about an irredeemable loser

One long, downbeat descent into the void.

‘The Loved One’ (1965): Uneven Hollywood satire still has plenty of yoks

What better way to celebrate the most macabre month of the year than to watch a grotesque comedy about Hollywood and the funeral business (guess which one is worse…)?

‘Lolly-Madonna XXX’ (1973): Atmospheric, violent & senseless Southern cult classic

Strange, hypnotic doom and gloom Southern cult classic, a modern-day Hatfield and McCoy feud underpinned by a violent, fatalistic melancholy.

‘Having a Wild Weekend’ (1965): No one can tolerate reality; escapism is the only alternative

Your typical Elvis musical stripped of all the on-camera performances, the bikinis, the laughs (except when Guy and Nan start sniping at each other)…and then heavily medicated for severe depression.

‘The Adventurers’ (1970): For true film lovers – bad moviemaking at its BEST!

Please, sir…may I have some more filth?

‘Dark of the Sun’ (1968): Hyper-violent, sadistic actioner remains relentless

Slam-bang, lightning-fast, crude, vital actioner…with something on its mind.

‘Action Jackson’ (1988): A primer on all the 80s action that’s come before

A near-perfect definition of cliche ’80s action and historically significant for soon-to-be-defunct production company, Lorimar.
