Elves (2018)
Last year, Paul Andolina from Wrestling with Film covered The Elf for us. Good news — he’s back to take on the sequel. Over the past few years it has become a tradition to find either new or new to me Christmas themed horror movies. It is quite difficult to find out what is being […]
LOST TV WEEK: Good Against Evil (1977)
Originally airing on May 22, 1977, this attempt at a weekly series comes from director Paul Wendkos (The Mephisto Waltz, Secrets, Haunts of the Very Rich) and Hammer veteran Jimmy Sangster (The Legacy; Scream, Pretty Peggy; Horror of Dracula; The Revenge of Frankenstein). I was really excited about the potential of this one, which promises from its Amazon listing that […]
LOST TV WEEK: Baffled! (1973)
Believe it or not, there was once a time when Star Trek wasn’t a movie franchise and its stars had to find other projects. For Leonard Nimoy, that meant plenty of TV movies, including this pilot for a British show that wasn’t bought. Race car driver Tom Kovack (Nimoy) begins to see psychic visions, causing him […]
Tough Guy: The Bob Probert Story (2018)
On July 5, 2010, legendary NHL tough guy Bob Probert collapsed on his boat on Lake St. Clair and died of a heart attack. He was only 45 years old, but sadly, his death wasn’t all that surprising. Probert lived hard: Chain smoking, alcoholism, even doing lines of coke in a jail cell after his arrest. […]
LOST TV WEEK: Madame Sin (1972)
Originally broadcast on January 15, 1972, this film emerged at the tail end of the superspy craze to present a truly insane idea for a weekly series that was never to be: Bette Davis as a villainous vixen who commands an army beneath the Scottish highlands to do her bidding. Imagine if Dr. Evil were […]
LOST TV WEEK: Salvage 1 (1979)
Originally airing on January 20, 1979, the pilot called Salvage debuted to high ratings — and was brought to us by Harve Bennett, who previously gave us The Six Million Dollar Man. It was an intriguing start to a series. Harry Broderick (Andy Griffith) and his Jettison Scrap and Salvage Co. have a dream, as stated […]
Funny Tweets (2018)
There’s a quote — attributed to so many people — that says “If I had more time, I would have written a shorter letter.” That insightful line was written in the time before Twitter, but it sums up the beauty of this short burst form of social media. What can you say in 140 characters […]
LOST TV WEEK: Shadow Warriors: Assault on Devil’s Island
When he heard about Lost TV Week, Paul Andolina had the perfect idea for a show that almost made it that tied together his love of movies and pro wrestling. We’re excited to share it with you. When Sam told me he’d be doing a week of failed TV Pilot reviews, I didn’t know what […]
LOST TV WEEK: The Phoenix (1981)
Long ago, in a remote corner of the world, ancient astronauts landed from a distant planet with a gift for mankind…the Phoenix. For a thousand years, he has waited…suspended in time. Now, he’s awakened to complete his mission. He searches for his partner, Mira. For only she knows his ultimate assignment on Earth. Dependent on […]
LOST TV WEEK: The Best of Times (1981)
Before Mandy. Before The Wicker Man. Before Face/Off. Hell, before Fast Times at Ridgemont High and anything else he did, Nicholas Cage appeared in this blast of odd, a failed TV pilot from 1981 that was supposed to be the Laugh-In for the video generation. This absolute mess was directed by Don Mischer, who today is better known for being […]
