Last Call (2019)
Lost in pain and loneliness, Scott (Daved Wilkins) calls the suicide prevention hotline one night yet accidentally reaches Beth (Sarah Booth), who works as a janitor at a local community college. It’s a story that may have been told before, but never like this. That’s because the entire film was made as two continuous shots, […]
Homoti (1987)
Leave it to Turkish filmmakers to not only completely rip off E.T., but also make the alien gay and lost in 70’s Turkey. Written, directed and starring Müjdat Gezen, this is the second Turkish Xerox of that Spielberg blockbuster that I know. The other, Badi, has an alien that is frightening instead of loveable. The movie poster […]
Red, White and Wasted (2019)
I grew up in a small town — not in Florida, but in Pennsylvania — and mudding was also a big thing for so many people.

Drive-In Friday: Documentaries About Directors Night
“Documentaries are boring. Who wants to watch a bunch of talking heads bragging about themselves?”—Eric, purveyor of film quality and all things Sein(feld)suck. And to a degree, I agree with my running-bud Eric: unless you have an interest in the subject matter at hand. As someone who’s spent his life in radio broadcasting and enamored […]
Turist Ömer Uzay Yolunda (1973)
Tourist Ömer first appeared as a supporting character in a 1963’s Helal Olsun Ali Abi as a friend of that film’s hero. He was so beloved that he ended up being the lead in eight films, with Ömer the Tourist in Star Trek being the final in the series. He’s played by Ayhan Işık in all these films. Somehow, […]
