Rot (2020)
Rot taught me something. I never, ever want to be a graduate student. Seriously, this movie makes it seem like the kind of living hell that I’d rail against. Madison (Kris Alexandrea) is one of those under pressure grad students, so part of the life of academics that the one thing she can leave behind […]
REPOST: Uçan Daireler Istanbulda (1955)
EDITOR’S NOTE: Originally posted during our Turkish movie blowout — this one was originally on the site on September 13, 2020 — Uçan Daireler Istanbulda is a great example of alien women descending on our planet and fits in so well this week. Enjoy! It’s 7,296 miles from Ankara to Mexico City, but you’d never guess […]
Prehistoric Women (1950)
Gregg G. Tallas started his career working with Fritz Lang, which does not explain how his career took him to some crazy places, such as Espionage in Tangiers, Assignment Skybolt and the movie he’d make 12 years later, Cataclysm, which is, of course, “The Case of Claire Hansen” in Night Train to Terror. So yeah. He made this bit of […]
Samoa, Regina Della Giungla (1968)
This movie looked like absolute junk, a tale of white colonialism that would be dated even a few years after it was made. But then I realized that the jungle girl was played by Edwige Fenech and here we go. Director Guido Malatesta made Colossus and the Headhunters and Maciste il vendicatore dei Maya, so I’m going to […]
Black Moon (1975)
Louis Malle’s Black Moon is one of those movies that I’ll be watching and Becca comes in and gets mad about. “What the hell is that unicorn in this movie for?” she asked. “It’s art” is always my answer. She doesn’t care that Malle made stuff like Pretty Baby, Atlantic City and My Dinner with André. No, […]
Abbott and Costello Go to Mars (1953)
Orville (Bud Abbott) is the oldest orphan* at the Hideaway Orphans Home. Seeing how Bud was 56 at the time of filming, perhaps we need to look into the weird practices of this orphanage. Regardless, he sneaks into a top-secret lab where he helps a lab worker named Lester (Lou Costello) and accidentally sends their spaceship […]
