Espionage In Tangiers (1965)
Mike Murphy is Agent S 077, which has absolutely nothing to do with Bond. But you know what’s great about this movie? It’s directed by Greg Tallas, who would someday make The Nightmare Never Ends, which was then edited into Night Train to Terror. That fact is more interesting than this movie. Jose Greci, who was the […]
REPOST: Never Too Young to Die (1986)
AUTHOR’S NOTE: This review originally ran on November 13, 2017. As part of our month of all things James Bond, I brought it back, did some editing and included some links so that you can stream it for free. It has George Lazenby pretty much playing Bond (Drew Stargrove) and while uneven, is still a […]
Greenlight (2020)
“You’d be directing a god damn student film on a fucking iPhone!”— Bob Moseby, producer of (the film within the film) The Sleep Experiment As the diabolical Moseby dug his Norma Desmondesque claws into Jack Archer, the desperate, struggling director chosen as his murderous pasty, I was reminded of poor Jack’s entertainment industry neo-brethren in […]
Our Man Flint (1966)
I’m going to be real blunt: I love Derek Flint more than I will ever and could ever love James Bond. When the army tries to arm Flint, they offer him a Walther PPK and an attache case with a concealed throwing knife. He replies that they are both crude. He even fights Agent 0008, […]
For Jennifer (2020)
At first glance, it’s easy to slag this meta-horror homage to ’80s SOV horror (we discuss that analog genre of VHS-taped films with our review of John Howard’s Spine) as an “amateur film school project.” And, in fact, there are reviews for this inventive amalgamation of the ’80s SOV and ’90s mockumentary and found footage […]
Abducted (2020)
There’s nothing like a free week of Showtime to expose you to a new flick. And having the reliable Scout Taylor-Compton (Rob Zombie’s Halloween reboots, 2019’s Eternal Code, 2020’s upcoming Getaway starring Lane Caudell)—if you haven’t figured out by the title—in this abduction thriller, is an added bonus. I first assumed this was the latest […]
Dr. No (1962)
Two men wanted the rights to the James Bond novels: Harry Saltzman and Albert R. “Cubby” Broccoli. Broccoli wanted to make the films more than Saltzman and while they couldn’t agree on a sale, they would agree to make the films together. The problem? Many studios felt that the Bond books were too British and […]
