Three Fantastic Supermen (1967)
You gotta love this Amazon description, which assumes that we know who these fellows are: “FBI agent Brad joins Tony and Nick, the self styled Supermen who battle crime wearing bullet-proof super-suits. They are on a case involving radioactive counterfeit money and people who can be broken down into precious jewels. With some really nice […]
21 Superhero Films of the 1970’s
As I was leaving the second Guardians of the Galaxy film, someone was complaining about the writing and I was gobsmacked. Today’s audiences have grown too accustomed to getting exactly what they want out of superhero films, getting to see the exact characters make a seamless leap from printed page to movie screen. Not to be […]
Condorman (1981)
The last time I saw this movie, I was 7 years old and watching it under the stars at the Spotlight 88 drive-in theater in Beaver Falls, PA. Sadly, that theater was destroyed by a freak tornado that tore through the Pittsburgh/Southwestern PA area on May 31, 1985. This was a seminal location for my […]
The Dragon Lives Again (1977)
You’ve got to love the balls of the people who made this movie, starting it with the words, “This film is dedicated to millions who love Bruce Lee.” Then, they have a fake Bruce Lee literally go to Hell. Bruce (Bruce Leung Siu-lung, The Beast from a movie that’s just as crazy as this, Kung-Fu […]
Exo-Man (1977)
In 1977, we didn’t have too many options when it came to superhero movies. Superman was a year away and otherwise, we would have to make do with repeats of the 1960’s Batman show and a Spider-Man TV series that was so cheap, his web shooters were a grappling hook. Yes, it was pretty bleak. Into this sad […]
The Curse of La Llorona (2019)
Can you believe that this is the sixth installment in the Conjuring series of films? This is the first one to feature a ghost that didn’t first appear in the mainline films, centering on the Mexican folklore of La Llorona, which is all about the ghost of a woman who drowned her children in a fit […]

Guardians (2017)
The Guardians are a team of Soviet superheroes created during the Cold War but hidden until they’re needed in our time. Each member of the team represents a different nationality of the USSR and each of their powers reflect either a tradition of the people of Russia and its associated countries. It’s really simple why […]
