Dream A Little Dream (1989)
Marc Rocco was the adopted son of Alex Rocco, who we all remember as Moe Greene from The Godfather. He directed this film, as well as Where the Day Takes You. This Wilmington, North Carolina shot movie seems like the favorite of every woman I’ve ever dated and now, as we sit in quarantine, I must again […]
Hollywood Boulevard (1976)
I was telling someone who doesn’t watch movies like I do — well, that could be just about anyone — that this film has a cast packed with stars. That’s when I realized that Hollywood Boulevard has a cast that is all famous to me and probably me alone. I don’t care. These are my people. […]
The Other Guys (2010)
Between Anchorman, Stepbrothers and The Campaign, Adam McKay has made plenty of funny films with Will Ferrell, who stars in this with Mark Wahlberg. Points for Samuel Jackson and Dwayne Johnson playing against type here in a movie where two desk cops learn how to be the kind of supercops you only see on TV. Allen Gamble and […]
Grumpy Old Men (1993)
Before Mark Steven Johnson made Daredevil and Ghost Rider, he wrote this movie. It reunites The Odd Couple team of Walter Matthau and Jack Lemmon, pretty much letting them run the movie as Max Goldman and John Gustafson Jr., two neighbors who have been at war as long as they can remember. Now, the arrival of Ariel Truax […]
Diablo Rojo PTY (2019)
This is a great set-up from the PR for this film: “A “Diablo Rojo” bus driver, his helper, a priest, and two policemen fall victim to a mysterious spell and end up lost somewhere in the Chiriqui jungle, where they will have to survive the creatures that inhabit the roads, with the old bus as […]
The Babysitter (1980)
The ABC Friday Night Movie for November 28, 1980, The Babysitter was directed by Peter Medak, who was also in the chair for movies like The Changeling, Cry for the Strangers, Zorro the Gay Blade, Romeo Is Bleeding, Species II and The Ruling Class. What an amazing lineup of films to have on your resume and such a disparate list of movies. Dr. […]
Get ready for tonight’s Drive-In Asylum double feature!
8 PM EST tonight, head over to the Groovy Doom Facebook page! You can watch The Deadly Spawn here: If you’re in a drinking mood, I’ll be making Zombies during this film. This is a pretty decent recipe. Shock (AKA Behind the Door II) is here: For this film, I’ll be making Navy Grog, which seems to […]
Earth II (1971) and Plymouth (1991)
From the Editor’s Desk: Both of these “hard science” TV movies were produced, in part, by ABC-TV as weekly series pilots — which the network, passed. Regardless of the twenty-years difference between the films, fans have confused the two films — as result of mistaking Gary Lockwood starred “in a TV movie about miners on […]
Contagious (1997)
Could a major infectious disease cripple America? This TV movie presents this far-fetched…wait, I’ve been inside my house for two months because of one? Never mind. This movie is quaint by comparison to the life we’ve been living. Dr. Hannah Cole (former bionic Lindsay Wagner) finds herself investigating an epidemic while her Tom Wopat-plated husband […]
The Horror at 37,000 Feet (1973)
Someday, scholars will speak in awe of the post-Star Trek Satanic twosome of Shatner films, which would be this movie and The Devil’s Rain! Until then, maniacs like me will yell into the uncaring silence and tell you that for a shining moment — or literally two — the once and future Kirk would die twice […]
