SAVAGE CINEMA: The Sidehackers (1969)
EDITOR’S NOTE: Back when COVID-19 felt like a thing that may not last all that long, circa March 7, 2020, we talked about this movie. It’s in the Savage Cinema set, so now it’s back. I still have no idea what a sidehacker is. What the hell is a sidehacker? It’s racing motorcycles with sidehacks, which […]
SAVAGE CINEMA: Little Laura and Big John (1973)
I have no idea why this is on the Savage Cinema set from Mill Creek, but man, when has anything these box sets have on them make any narrative sense? “We have all these Crown International movies and some maniac, somewhere, someday, is making a Letterboxd list about these movies no one other than he […]
The Fast and the Furious (1954)

In a deal similar to the one […]
Gone In 60 Seconds (2000)

Also, much like the Paul Walker/Vin Diesel film, critics absolutely hated this movie, which cried all the way to nearly tripling its production […]
SAVAGE CINEMA: Best Friends (1975)
Mill Creek box sets are among my favorite things in life, as otherwise, I’d never discover so many movies. However, for every Cathy’s Curse, Welcome to Blood City or The Alpha Incident there is a Best Friends. Such is life. Savage Cinema box set, you so crazy. Jesse (Richard Hatch, Battlestar Galactica) is the mature one. Pat (Doug Chapin, Where […]
The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift (2006)
Justin Lin comes into the franchise here and, well, he has none of the original cast members coming back. So what do you do? Concentrate on the cars. Also, the chronological history of the story would change from here on out, with installments until 2015’s Furious 7 being set between 2 Fast 2 Furious and this […]
