APRIL MOVIE THON DAY 16: The Runaways (2010)
Based on the book Neon Angel: A Memoir of a Runaway by the band’s lead vocalist Cherie Currie, I thought this movie just wouldn’t work, but it had to age before I watched it. Post-Twilight it felt like sacrilege to have Kristen Stewart as Joan Jett, but now it feels right. Director Floria Sigismondi made the […]
APRIL MOVIE THON DAY 16: Sweet, Sweet Lonely Girl (2016)
Adele (Erin Wilhelmi) is the girl of the title, a lonely teenager caring for her agoraphobic aunt Dora (Susan Kellerman, who played Latka’s mom on Taxi), a woman who won’t even leave her room and only leaves messages slid under her door. However, Adele’s life changes when she meets her exact opposite, Beth (Quinn Shephard), […]
APRIL MOVIE THON DAY 16: Pembalasan Ratu Pantai Selatan (1988)
Lady Terminator (the actual title translates as Revenge of the South Sea Queen) and is one of the most incredible movies I’ve ever seen. It takes its structure from Terminator (which is in itself ripped off from two Harlan Ellison stories, “Demon With a Glass Hand” and “Soldier”) and infuses the mythology of Indonesia. While this may […]
APRIL MOVIE THON DAY 16: Chai Lai’s Angels (2006)

The five Dangerous Flowers are Kulap(Rose) played by Bongkoj Khongmalai, Bua (Lotus) who is Supaksorn Chaimongkol, Chaba (Hibiscus) acted by Jintara Poonlarp, Pouy-sian (Crown […]

TUBI ORIGINAL: Titanic 666 (2022)
Yes, I watch junk. But I watched this for professional reasons. That’s because a few years ago, when I had my own marketing agency — don’t ask — I did the pitch materials for a movie called Unsinkable, which started filming in 2017 in The Settler’s Cabin Wave Pool. I remember sitting in a pitch room […]
Reign of Chaos (2022)
Reign of Chaos sounds like a pretty metal title and when you learn that three women descended from the goddess Nike are battling a dark lord named Chaos (Mark Sears) and all of humanity — who are now rabid — well, that sounds just about right. Producer Scott Jeffrey (Jurassic Island, Exorcist Vengeance), director Rebecca […]
