‘Hitler’s Madman’ & ‘Hitler’s Children’ (1943): Der Fuhrer doubleheader
In my very few moments of sobriety, when the background fuzz partly clears and gives way to bits and pieces of actual audio/visual information that land, one of the constant drones I encounter lately is that I’m no longer living in a democracy (which is curious…since we’ve always been a constitutional republic), but rather a… Read More ‘Hitler’s Madman’ & ‘Hitler’s Children’ (1943): Der Fuhrer doubleheader
‘Executive Suite’ (1954): With first-rate performances, glossy drama holds up well
Oh okay so now, supposedly, we’re in big trouble, not only politically but economically? But four years of a shadow government no one elected…and not a peep from the corrupt media that was helping to hide it? Got it.
‘A Stranger in Town’ (1968): Entertaining spaghetti Western kicks off successful trilogy
Reduced, these past few weeks, to basically laying flat on my back (they took out 37 feet of my guts—I’m basically a soda fountain now), there hasn’t been much I can do but watch TV and movies.

‘The Pack’ (1977): Hungry, bloodthirsty pets do not appreciate being abandoned
Lassie Come Home…So You Can Rip My Face Off!
‘The Moonshine War’ (1970): Action-comedy is a must-see for fans of terrible movies
Grotesque enough at times for a few laughs…but woefully f*cked up.
‘Sweet Hostage’ (1975): Linda Blair is kidnapped by Martin Sheen in TV exploiter
A must-have primer for every would-be romantic kidnapper out there…although the only way Sweet Hostage would be remade today is if Bradley Cooper kidnapped Dylan Mulvaney.
‘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.
‘The Sorcerers’ (1967): Grungy sci-fi/horror exploiter has a unique, unexpected tone
We’ve had a week of dark, cool, rainy fall weather here in the Great American Midwest, a seasonal siren call that compels me, on an irresistible genetic level, to watch a few dark, cool, rainy 60s British movies. Add in the Halloween spirit that gets an early start around these parts (quite simply: the Midwest… Read More ‘The Sorcerers’ (1967): Grungy sci-fi/horror exploiter has a unique, unexpected tone
‘Jonathan Livingston Seagull’ (1973): Spectacular-looking movie, but is it strictly for the birds?
Far out, birdbrain.
