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)

THE EXCELLENT EIGHTIES: Mesmerized (1986)
Somehow, this Mill Creek set has a Jodie Foster movie on it. Not a TV movie or something from her past, but a 1986 Jodie Foster movie where she plays Victoria, an orphaned girl who is married to the much older Oliver Thompson (John Lithgow!) and sent away to school. When she comes back, years […]
Still the Water (2021)
The ecosystems of islands, by nature, are self-sufficient biological communities that, sans the intrusion of man’s foolish nature, can survive and thrive for an eternity. Man, on the other hand, is not an island; man is a social animal that withers and dies in their Don Quixote quest for independence. Autonomy doesn’t grant self-worth, but […]
