Two Heads Creek (2019)
A butcher and his twin sister have gone to Australia to find their birth mother, but what they end up finding is a small town that has a carnivorous — and yes, cannibalistic — secret. Two Heads Creek lets you know that it’s a quality, fun romp right from the beginning with great credits and well-done […]
20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (1916)
Directed by Stuart Paton, this was the first attempt at ever filming Jules Verne’s novel. It also includes elements of his story The Mysterious Island. It was also the first motion picture filmed underwater, which was the role of the Williamson Submarine Film Corporation in the Bahamas. While they did not use actual underwater cameras, they […]
White Fire (1984)
Also known as Vivre Pour Survivre and Le Diamant, White Fire is a movie that is crazy from literally first few moments of the movie, where Bo and Inga (soon to be played by Robert Ginty from The Exterminator and Belinda Mayne from Alien 2: On Earth) watch as their father is burned up by a flamethrower and […]
Fire In the Sky (1993)
If you have ever had a nightmare of being abducted by aliens, maybe avoid this movie. It’s harrowing and has one of the most brutal alien encounters scenes I’ve ever seen in a film. Based on Travis Walton’s book The Walton Experience, which describes a “this really happened” extraterrestrial encounter, this movie features D.B. Sweeney […]
Octaman (1971)
This movie holds the distinction of being some of Rick Baker’s first work. Made in Mexico, it was directed by Harry Essex, who wrote It Came from Space and Creature from the Black Lagoon. Dr. Rick Torres (Kerwin Mathews, The 7th Voyage of Sinbad) and Susan Lowry (Pier Angeli in her final film, as she died during […]
The King of Staten Island (2020)
You know, I liked this movie more than I ever would have thought. I’ve disliked nearly everything Pete Davidson has done on Saturday Night Live, seeing him as, at best, a one-note stand-up jammed into a show where the best he can do is look sleepy and break in nearly every sketch. Yet this movie, a […]
No Way to Treat A Lady (1968)
Jack Smight directed Rod Steiger in this film and in the incredibly dark The Illustrated Man, a movie that he bought the rights to film from Ray Bradbury. He’d also direct Airport 1975 and Damnation Alley. George Segal, who is the hero of this film, told the Chicago Tribune, “It’s Steiger’s film. He runs around doing all sorts of different roles […]
