More of the B and S About Movies collection
We’re still on the C’s! If you’re bored inside, well, come on in — but stay at least 10 feet away — while Sam explains the movies in he and Becca’s collection.
Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle (2003)
The Angels are all back, as is Crispin Glover as The Thin Man in the next installment of this series. This time, however, Bosley’s half brother, played by Bernie Mac, is in charge and the Angels are going up against one of their own. This entire film is packed with cameos and more comedy than […]
REPOST: I Spy (2002)
AUTHOR’S NOTE: As part of James Bond month, I’ve brought back this review, originally published on December 29, 2019, for you to check out. This has just been re-released on blu ray by Mill Creek, so it’s easy to find. Based on the 1960’s TV series that starred Robert Culp and Bill Cosby, this 2002 […]
Dr. Goldfoot and the Girl Bombs (1966)
Dr. Goldfoot and the Girl Bombs is an odd film. This 1966 Eurospy parody is at once a sequel to two different movies that have nothing in common: Dr. Goldfoot and the Bikini Machine and Two Mafiosi Against Goldginger. Fulvio Lucisano, the head of Italian International Film, wanted a sequel to his film. American-International Pictures wanted […]
Agent for H.A.R.M. (1966)
Gerd Oswald is known for his TV directing and some of his film noir work, like A Kiss Before Dying and Crime of Passion. He directed this thinking it’d be the pilot for a TV series and then, with the spy craze, it ended up being a theatrical release. Adam Chance (Peter Mark Richman, Dr. Charles McCulloch from Friday […]
Dead by Dawn (2020)
At one’s first read of the film’s logline: A suicidal man in a remote cabin is suddenly faced with protecting a kidnapped woman from three sexual deviants and their sadistic games,” you think you’re getting a by-the-numbers extreme horror film of the New French Extremity variety. (See the recently reviewed (and very good) German radio-horror […]
Gold Dust (2020)
They sold me with this sell copy (which is a good thing for sell copy to do): “Classical music. Thundering opera. Rattlesnakes and precious gems. Mansions and gold mines. Friendship and despair. Treasure beyond imagination that vanishes in the desert wind. In the desert there is no limit to the adventures at hand!” If you […]
On Her Majesty’s Secret Service (1969)
After five films, the unthinkable happened. Sean Connery was no longer James Bond. In fact, during the filming of You Only Live Twice, he wasn’t even on speaking terms with producer Albert Broccoli. Who would be James Bond? In a field of contenders that included John Richardson, Hans De Vries, Adam West, Robert Campbell and […]
