GREGORY DARK WEEK: Mirror Images (1992)
I mean, yes, we have seen this before. A woman changes identities with her identical twin sister, finally getting to sip from the fountain of the fantasies she’s kept hidden in her vanilla marriage, but if I’ve learned one thing from a week of Gregory Dark mainstream movies, it’s that dream life has a dark […]
Mill Creek Through the Decades: 1960s Collection: Luv (1967)
As a kid, I only saw the end of Clive Donner’s directing career — TV movies like Babes In Toyland and Spectre and weird stuff like Old Dracula, The Nude Bomb and Charlie Chan and the Curse of the Dragon Queen. At one point, he was a big part of the British New Wave, making movies like What’s New Pussycat?, Nothing but the […]
Mill Creek Through the Decades: 1960s Collection: Mickey One (1965)
I was not ready for this movie. After angering the mob, a stand-up comic (Warren Beatty) runs away to Chicago, taking the name Mickey One, works in a diner and hides in a flop house. But the lure of the stage is too strong. As he becomes more successful, he worries that each move upward […]

GREGORY DARK WEEK: Frenemy (2009)
Made as Little Fish, Big Pond, this is the last movie that Gregory Dark has made other than the documentary An Evening with Stephen Lynch. It follows the wanderings of Mr. Jack (Matthew Modine) and Sweet Stephen (Callum Blue) as they make their way through Los Angeles and discuss the nature of life. And if you look […]
Mill Creek Through the Decades: 1960s Collection: Lilith (1964)
Director and writer Robert Rossen (All the King’s Men, The Hustler) made this his last movie, as he was disillusioned with Hollywood*. What a film to go out on, a bleak and sullen meditation on mental health and lost love. Vincent Bruce (Warren Beatty) has returned from the war, but perhaps not all of him mentally […]
GREGORY DARK WEEK: Carnal Crimes (1991)
Elise (Linda Carol, Reform School Girls) might look like a gorgeous woman to any other man — and many women — but not to her husband, so is it any wonder that she falls for Renny (Martin Hewitt), a photographer who encourages her to live her fantasies while also having some fantasy sex of his own […]
Mill Creek Zombie Collection: Harold’s Going Stiff (2011)
Harold Gimble was the first man to be infected with Onset Rigors Disease and unliked everyone else, he hasn’t become a zombie yet, unlike everyone else. He’s just growing old, but inevitably, he’s going to become one of the undead, unless a nurse helps him. Or the scientists trying cure after cure. Or, most probably, […]
Mill Creek Zombie Collection: Attack of the Killer Donuts (2016)
By no stretch of the imagination should a movie called Attack of the Killer Donuts be any good, but somehow, someway, I found myself liking this. It’s definitely the best undead donut or pastry movie I’ve ever seen, but that said, it’s also the only one. Also — I have no idea how they got C. […]
GREGORY DARK WEEK: Night Rhythms (1992)
EDITOR’S NOTE: You can check out an alternate viewpoint from R.D Francis in this article. This movie is so not from our reality and that makes me love it so much. Imagine a world in which Nick West (Martin Hewitt) can put on a nightly radio show where he gets multiple female callers to have […]
