Alone in the T-Shirt Zone (1986)
Writer/director/t-shirt designer/sound man and probably everything else Mike B. Anderson went from creating this to working on The Simpsons. None of that will prepare you for this movie. Michael Mikaele is in an insane asylum, a place where his doctor assaults him while he sleeps in a coma, trapped in his mind, a victim of the past […]
The Last American Virgin (1982)
This movie is a destructive force that still leaves hurt feelings decades after it’s been viewed. Sure, it’s a remake of director Boaz Davidson’s Lemon Popsicle and that movie ends the same way, but that movie came back with plenty of sequels. Once The Last American Virgin drops its bomb on you, it lets you watch everything burn […]
License to Drive (1988)
Somehow, watching teen movies means watching so much of the Coreys. This time, Haim is Les Anderson and Feldman is Dean, with Haim’s character trying to get his driver’s license to that he can impress Mercedes Lane (Heather Graham). He fails the test multiple times, but still takes his grandfather’s 1972 Cadillac Sedan de Ville […]
Lemon Popsicle (1978)
Welcome to yet another movie that got me in trouble when Becca came down and saw a scene out of context, 1978’s Israeli coming of age movie Lemon Popsicle/Eskimo Limon. This takes place in the Israel in the 1950s, a time when most of this film’s budget is spent on the music. The poster claims it […]
Junesploitation 2021: Legion of Iron (1990)
June 12: Junesploitation’s topic of the day — as suggested by F This Movie — is sci fi! I have no idea why people aren’t losing their minds and talking about this movie all the time. High school football star Billy Hamilton and his cheerleader girlfriend Allison are kidnapped in the middle of a date and […]
Just One of the Guys (1985)
If you had basic cable at any time in the 80s and 90s, there’s a good chance you’ve seen this movie, which strangely enough is based on the Bard’s Twelfth Night. It was written by Dennis Feldman, who went on to write The Golden Child and the first two Species movies, and Jeff Franklin, who wrote Summer School, Love Stinks […]
Punk the Capital: Building a Sound Movement (2019)
Washington DC was a center of American punk rock in the late 1970’s. Punk the Capital explores that era and gives voice to those who were part of it, celebrating musicians such as Bad Brains, Henry Rollins, Ian MacKaye and Jello Biafra. These bands, the music they created and the influence they still exert are powerful. […]
