Plan B (2021)
Sure, a lot of this movie feels like Booksmart, which was the female-centric Superbad, but that’s a very superficial review, as both movies are about the relationship between two girls as they grow up in their last year of high school. And much how all of us are different people despite surface similarities, this film can stand […]
Cruella (2021)
Patton Oswalt once famously yelled of the Star Wars prequels, “I DON’T GIVE A SHIT WHERE THE STUFF I LOVE COMES FROM! I JUST LOVE THE STUFF I LOVE!” This was in a time before movies like Joker took the villains from our favorite old films and made them someone that we could care about and perhaps […]
Heavy Metal (1981)
I should not have seen this movie at nine or ten years of age, nor should I have read the magazine. I should have been blissfully ignorant of the mindblowing nature of what I was about to see and waited until I was ready, but here we are, literally forty years later and not a […]
Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill! (1965)
“Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to violence, the word and the act. While violence cloaks itself in a plethora of disguises, its favorite mantle still remains… sex. Violence devours all it touches, its voracious appetite rarely fulfilled. Yet violence doesn’t only destroy, it creates and molds as well. Let’s examine closely then this dangerously evil creation, […]
Faces of Death (1978)
I’ve discussed the video store of my youth often, but no movie in Prime Time Video inspired such dread as Faces of Death, its gigantic clamshell package covered with a note scrawled in sharpie: YOU MUST BE 18 TO RENT. This feels like a movie made from VHS, as where were people going to see this […]
Junesploitation 2021: Nightmare Sisters (1988)
June 2: Junesploitation’s topic of the day — as suggested by F This Movie — is slasher! Isn’t it strange that the only force that could unite every heterosexual teenage boy’s dream of seeing Linnea Quigley, Brinke Stevens and Michelle Bauer together in the same movie would be David DeCoteau and that he would do it […]
Excalibur (1981)
Shot entirely on location in Ireland, employing mostly Irish actors and crew, Excalibur was an important film for the Irish filmmaking industry and helped start the careers of Liam Neeson, Patrick Stewart, Gabriel Byrne and Ciarán Hinds. It was also known as the Boorman Family Project, as several members of director Jonathan Boorman’s family appear, with […]
Metalstorm: The Destruction of Jared-Syn (1983)
Directed and produced by Charles Band, Metalstorm: The Destruction of Jared-Syn feels like the movie that goes with all of my favorite stoner metal albums. It’s also in 3D, which makes it even better and it was already a movie in which the bad guys spray people with green drugs that put them into a dream […]
Escape from New York (1981)
Seriously, this article should just say, “This is the best movie of all time” and nothing else. It is absolutely impossible for me to be impartial to this movie. How can you be? A western set inside a destroyed New York City that’s been converted into a prison for the worst people in America being […]
Drag Me to Hell (2009)
You know, I purposely didn’t watch this movie because it was rated PG-13. I’m a moron. Co-written (with his brother Ivan) and directed by Sam Raimi, this is the kind of delirious rollercoaster kind of movie that I love. Loan officer Christine Brown (Alison Lohman) wants a promotion but has to show that she can […]
