I was sent a short called Leathanach Deiridh this week that’s really interesting. Based on true events, as a young woman tells her life story, starting with her birth at a mother and baby home to spending the rest of her existence wondering about her lost family. Directed by Michael Antonio Keane, who has mainly worked […]

VINEGAR SYNDROME BLU RAY RELEASE: Forgotten Gialli: Volume Three
Autopsy (1975): Armando Crispino really only did two horror films, 1972’s The Dead Are Alive and this 1975 giallo, which is a shame, as this is a pretty decent entry in the genre. Known in Italy as Macchie Solari (Sunspots), it does indeed feature sunspot footage from space before we see any major murders. And if you’re looking […]
CANNON MONTH 2: Kickboxer (1989)
EDITOR’S NOTE: This was originally on the site on July 7, 2019. Every time I do an in-depth film week, there comes a moment when I go from “most of these movies aren’t very good” and “they just have the same tropes over and over again” to “I love this movie!” It’s digital Stockholm Syndrome […]
CANNON MONTH 2: The Secret of the Ice Cave (1989)

CANNON MONTH 2: Cyborg (1989)
EDITOR’S NOTE: This was first on the site on July 13, 2019. Cannon Films — oh Cannon Films, you magnificent maniacs — had big plans in 1989. They wanted to make a sequel to their 1987’s film Masters of the Universe and they had the rights to make a live-action Spider-Man movie. However, Cannon was out of […]
CANNON MONTH 2: Sinbad of the Seven Seas (1989)
EDITOR’S NOTE: This was on the site on June 18, 2022. If there was ever a movie that checked off nearly everything that I’m looking for in a movie, it would be this, which is an even better sequel to Luigi’s Cozzi’s Hercules than The Aventures of Hercules. I knew that I would love it from […]
CANNON MONTH 2: Outlaw of Gor (1989)
EDITOR’S NOTE: This originally ran on March 6, 2020. If you’re going to make a second Gor movie, by all means, call up John “Bud” Cardos. Bud started his career as a child actor, a rodeo rider and a bird handler before appearing as a biker in movies like Hells Angels on Wheels, Psych-Out and Satan’s Sadists. Eventually, […]
