Ghouls Across America big post!
The boys had some adventures and I fell behind sharing the links! Here is the rest of their journey. I hope to see them out here again soon when we can all get together, which I hope isn’t too long away. The drive-in will never die!

Impact Event (2020)
When efforts to missile-destroy an incoming meteor fails (through expositional news reports and an opening “NASA officials” sequence), a group of friends (a cast of amateur, unknown actors) pulls a “George Romero”: but instead of finding refuge in a shopping mall, they hold up in a carnival funhouse — with killers in clown paint. The […]
Charlie’s Angels (2019)
The second reboot of Charlie’s Angels presents a worldwide secret mission force of women, represented in this movie by Elizabeth Banks (who also directed), Kristen Stewart, Naomi Scott, and Ella Balinska. It didn’t do well at the box office, which was blamed on the fact that so many men have issues with women in power. I’m […]
Operation Kid Brother (1967)
Neil Connery was a plasterer in Scotland who lost his tools and got fired. This story made the international news and reached the ear of Bond director Terence Young (Dr. No, From Russia With Love, Thunderball), who told Italian producer Dario Sabatello that Neil sounded just like his older brother. The producer met Neil in his native […]
Two Mafiosi Against Goldginger (1965)
After James Bond gets killed, who can stop the evil Goldginger? If you said Franco Franchi and Ciccio Ingrassia — yes, the same duo from Dr. Goldfoot and the Girl Bombs — then you’d be right. How did you guess? Somehow, this movie was bought by American International Pictures, dubbed into English and sold as part […]
Same Boat (2020)
“My new best friend and my new ex-girlfriend, making out in the graveyard like a couple of sexy ghosts.” Same Boat is a guerilla-shot, micro-budget indie comedy most exemplary. As result of the filmmakers’ guerilla tactics, the film looks a lot bigger and more expensive than it really is: co-writers Josh Itzkowitz, Mark Leidner, and […]
Rootwood (2020)
Just when you thought it was safe to go back into the woods . . . Just down the road from Burkittsville, on the outskirts of the New Jersey Pine Barrons, two college students—grungy fanboy William and the purple-haired, retro-hippie geek girl Jessica—host “The Spooky Hour,” a podcast about paranormal phenomena and urban legends. One […]
Diamonds Are Forever (1971)
After one movie, George Lazenby was out. He was offered seven movies and left after On Her Majesty’s Secret Service on the advice of his agent. John Gavin, Adam Westm Burt Reynolds, Michael Gambon were all up for the role until United Artists made a demand: get Sean Connery back. Money be damned. Connery came […]
