Pinocchio (2019)
If you saw this and thought, “Didn’t Academy Award winner Roberto Benigni already make a Pinocchio movie back in 2002?*” Well, yes, you would be correct. That version, written, directed and starring Benigni was nominated for six Razzies, including Worst Picture, Worst Director, Worst Screenplay, Worst Actor (Benigni, who was dubbed by Breckin Meyer, Worst Remake or Sequel and […]
Mill Creek Excellent Eighties Round Up!
So ends our Mill Creek Month blowout with three box sets of 112 movies. In addition to The Excellent Eighties 50-Film Pack, we reviewed their Gorehouse Greats 12-Film Pack and B-Movie Blast 50-Film Pack. You know the drill, to gear up for Halloween, every November we crack open a Mill Creek box of fifty movies. […]
THE EXCELLENT EIGHTIES: Deathrow Gameshow (1988)
ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Sean Mitus grew up watching Chiller Theater from Pittsburgh and has been a drive-in enthusiast for the last six years. Sean enjoys all genres but has become interested in Italian horror, thriller and action movies most recently. “Anyone on death row can be a contestant. Man or woman. Young or old. I […]
THE EXCELLENT EIGHTIES: The Patriot (1986)
We’ve already covered this movie, but seeing as how Mill Creek repeats so many movies in their box sets, I wanted to ensure that our site isn’t all repeats too. I also like to get different views on movies. Former TV reporter Frank Harris broke into movies via doing cinematography for action movies. He took […]
The Excellent Eighties: Scarecrows (1988)
When Shout! Factory restored this popular cable-played and home video renter to disc and offered it as an Amazon stream, we had to review it — back on December 18, 2018. And here it is for its first bow on a Mill Creek set, in this case, their Excellent Eighties 50-film pack that we’re unpacking […]
The Excellent Eighties: Casablanca Express (1989)
Oh, yes! The ’80s are excellent when you get an old Sergio Martino war flick from those HBO days of yore, as you binged this alongside High Risk, Tuareg: The Desert Warrior (both reviewed this month via Mill Creek, look for them), and Inglorious Bastards. And don’t let the fact that we have the sons […]
Rattlers 2 (2021)
45 years after Rattlers, those same snakes are still slithering around the California desert, ready to bite anyone they get close to all over again. Don’t worry if you never saw the Harry Novak-produced original. Enough scenes from it are replayed here that you’ll know the story. It’s simple — the flashbacks are shot on film and […]
THE EXCELLENT EIGHTIES: Savage Journey (1983)
This movie made this entire month worth it. That’s because it unlocks another part of the saga that is my fascination with the utterly strange and mysterious Night Train to Terror, a movie that I have written about more than once. While this movie is listed on IMDB as a 1983 made for TV movie, the […]
THE EXCELLENT EIGHTIES: A Time to Die (1982)
Woah, a Matt Cimber movie I haven’t seen? On a Mill Creek set? I must have done something right in this life. Based on Mario Puzo’s Six Graves to Munich, this is the story of Michael Rogan (Edward Albert, Galaxy of Terror), who is after the men who tortured him in the closing days of World […]
THE EXCELLENT EIGHTIES: Somewhere, Tomorrow (1983)
A very young Sarah Jessica Parker — this was made right after Square Pegs went off the air — plays Lori Anderson, a girl who has lost her father in a plane crash. While her mother is moving on — she’s selling the family farm and hooking up with the local lawman — Lori is lost. […]
