Arnold Week: Red Sonja (1985)
EDITOR’S NOTE: This originally was on the site on December 2, 2020 and has been updated for Arnold Week. I am sorry, Red Sonja. For years, I have doubted you. Surely you cannot be as good as Conan the Barbarian and Conan the Destroyer. You have to be a weaker sister, I always thought, so I avoided you. I […]
Arnold Week: Conan the Destroyer (1984)
EDITOR’S NOTE: This article originally was on the site on January 29, 2019. It has been updated for Arnold week. You know what they say. If you can’t get John Milius, grab the dude who directed Mandingo, Soylent Green and the Neil Diamond remake version of The Jazz Singer, Richard Fleischer. That’s exactly what Dino and Raffaella De Laurentiis did […]
The Black Phone (2021)
Between the two Sinister films, The Exorcism of Emily Rose and Deliver Us From Evil — hey even Urban Legends: Final Cut and Hellraiser: Inferno, I’ve liked Scott Derrickson’s films.

Arnold Week: Pumping Iron (1977)
After a 1972 photo assignment to cover the Mr. Universe Championship for Life magazine, George Butler wanted to make a documentary about what he’d experienced. It took forever to convince investors to come on board, because who wanted to watch muscleheads pose and listen to a heavily accented man speak? The original plan was to […]
Arnold Week: Conan the Barbarian (1982)
EDITOR’S NOTE: This was originally on the site way back in January 28, 2019. It’s one of my favorite movies and the reason why so many other great sword and sorcery movies got made. When Robert E. Howard created Conan, it was popular for its time as a pulp character. By the time of his creator’s […]
Arnold Week: The Jayne Mansfield Story (1980)
EDITOR’S NOTE: This was originally on the site on August 15, 2020. Happy birthday all week Arnold. You are loved, almost as much as Jayne. Dick Lowry has worked in made-for-TV movies for some time, working on many projects with Kenny Rogers (The Gambler, The Coward of the County) and connected movies like In the Line of […]
