KINO LORBER BLU RAY RELEASE: Back Street (1941)
Adapted from the 1931 Fannie Hurst novel and the 1932 film version — which it follows nearly scene-for-scene — this sympathetic tale of an adulterous couple was pretty unique for 1941, as you wouldn’t think this type of behavior would play well then. It was also remade in 1961 with Susan Hayward and John Gavin […]
CANNON MONTH: The Arrogant (1988)
Philippe Blot made four movies and three of them, this one, In the Shadow of the Sandcastle and Hot Blood have Sylvia Kristel in them, so of course, I’m going to watch at least three-fourths of his films. I’ll also be jealous the entire time, as he was Kristel’s second husband. In this movie, she plays Julie, a […]
CANNON MONTH: I giorni randagi (1988)
Stray Days was directed by Filippo Ottoni, who directed Detective School Dropouts for Cannon. He co-wrote this with Umberto Marino and it has songs by Enrico Ruggeri. And that’s it! I can’t find this movie, I can’t find a description of it and no one else has reviewed it. Perhaps we should consider this a placeholder until I eventually […]
CANNON MONTH: Summetime Blues (1987)
Director Reinhard Schwabenitzky’s 1988’s Summertime Blues: Lemon Popsicle VIII is not director Yaky Yosha’s 1984 movie Summertime Blues, but wow, they’re really close. 50s soundtrack? Goofball jokes? Lots of sex? Yes, Lemon Popsicle movies have somewhat dominated my life over Cannon Month, so I often wonder if they have caused me to lose what’s left of my […]
Interview with Ed Glaser, author of How the World Remade Hollywood part 1
As you may have learned from reading our site, I’m obsessed with bootleg films or remakesploitation. From films like 3 Dev Adam (Three Giant Men) and Dünyayı Kurtaran Adam (The Man Who Saves the World) to just about everything that emerged from the 80s Italian horror boom, I’m just so astounded by how movies get […]
CANNON MONTH: Under Cover (1987)
If you wonder, am I watching Dangerously Close, I understand. In a moment of meta deja vu (meta vu?) director and writer John Stockwell can be seen being seen by police protagonist Sheffield Hauser (David Neidorf), who is watching that movie. And Stockwell co-wrote that one with Scott Fields, who came back for this movie. Weird, […]
