EDITOR’S NOTE: Spring Break was on the CBS Late Movie on September 15, 1987. Between the first Friday the 13th and the House series, Sean S. Cunningham made this teen sex comedy. As my wife Becca reminded me, one of the only differences between this movie and a slasher is that no one gets killed for all the […]
BONUS! Watch a Roger Corman movie to celebrate his 100th birthday! Sooner or later, I had to watch this movie. Gage Dobson (Jaime McEnnan ) has some problems. He’s bullied every day by Ashton (Scott Ferguson) and Leon (Mike Simmrin), and when he gets home, he has to deal with his divorced mother, Cathy (Loni Anderson), […]
EDITOR’S NOTE: Where the Boys Are was on the CBS Late Movie on June 3, 1988. Twenty-four years before, Connie Francis, Dolores Hart, Paula Prentiss, George Hamilton, Yvette Mimieux, Jim Hutton, and Frank Gorshin learned about Where the Boys Are. That movie had no topless scenes. There are in this one. The last movie directed […]
EDITOR’S NOTE: Rituals was on the CBS Late Movie on February 26, 1980 and January 6, 1982. Canada, with your tax shelters and movies that are far north of odd, remains our constant bastion and perhaps a place to run to. Director Peter Carter also made a movie called High-Ballin ’, and it wasn’t a porno; […]
Week 14 (Sept. 20 – 26) – THE END! Post-Apocalyptic Cinema: Make sure to pull the ladder up on the way out A nuclear holocaust—the Final War— has done wonders for the local leather industry. Society crumbles, governments fall, and suddenly everyone dresses to impress as they take to the radioactive dunes on dirt bikes, sporting asymmetrical […]
EDITOR’S NOTE: The Lords of Flatbush was on the CBS Late Movie on October 26, 1979. Martin Davidson made his directorial debut with this film. You may know him better from Eddie and the Cruisers. You may not know him from the John Ritter vehicle Hero at Large. Stephen Verona wrote and co-directed it, and years later […]
EDITOR’S NOTE: No Other Love was on the CBS Late Movie on October 6, 1982 and November 1, 1983. Before The Other Sister, there was this movie, which has Richard Thomas (John-Boy from The Waltons* to some, Shad in Battle Beyond the Stars to me) and Julie Kavner (Marge Simpson!) as mentally challenged adults who want to get […]
If you find a spacious New York apartment for $285 a month — even in 1987 — you aren’t getting a bargain. You’re probably getting a ticket to hell, baby. Sandy Darhaus (Perry Lang) is a yuppie investment banker with the kind of high-strung, large-ham energy that makes you root for the ghosts from minute […]
September Drive-In Super Monster-Rama is back at The Riverside Drive-In Theatre, September 19 and 20, 2025. Two big nights with four feature films each night include: Here are the drinks I’m bringing! You can always watch and drink along at home!

Week 14 (Sept. 20 – 26) – THE END! Post-Apocalyptic Cinema: Make sure to pull the ladder up on the way out At the end of the world, we will all have to be part of the high-stakes, white-knuckle world of aggressive corporate towing. Yes, it’s Driving Force, a bizarre sci-fi action hybrid directed by A.J. Prowse. […]
