What’s on Paramount Plus?
Usually this would be the space for Tubi picks, but I decided that it’s time to take a look at a few other streaming services for a few weeks. Don’t worry! I’ll never give up on Tubi and will return to find more picks for you soon. Paramount Plus is a service we bought when […]
CANNON MONTH 2: Edgar Allan Poe’s The Masque of the Red Death (1989)
No, not the Roger Corman-produced and Larry Brand-directed The Masque of the Red Death, which also came out in 1989. Much like Corman, Menahem Golan probably realized the public domain status of Poe’s works (well, Corman did that twice with the first being a classic, 1964’s The Masque of the Red Death). This was produced by […]
CANNON MONTH 2: Phantom of the Opera (1989)
EDITOR’S NOTE: This 21st Century Film Corporation release was originally on the site on October 31, 2021. Could have been a Cannon! Yes, this slasher take on the Gaston Leroux classic was going to be directed by Twins of Evil director John Hough and man, what a movie that would have been. That version was set […]
CANNON MONTH 2: Mack the Knife (1989)
I was in the middle of watching Mack the Knife and wondered, “Why is this movie so absolutely deranged?” and then I realized, “Oh yeah, this is Menahem Golan directing and writing his own version of Bertolt Brecht and Kurt Weill’s The Threepenny Opera.” I’m telling you all, if you loved The Apple, well, just imagine what Menahem […]
CANNON MONTH 2: Edgar Allan Poe’s The Black Cat (1989)
EDITOR’S NOTE: This 21st Century Film Corporation release was originally on the site on October 31, 2021. Oh man, where do I even begin in trying to make sense of this movie? It’s not a sequel to Demons, no matter what its alternate title Demons 6 De Profundis promises to you. It was called Edgar Allan Poe’s The […]
SHUDDER EXCLUSIVE: Saloum (2021)
EDITOR’S NOTE: I originally saw this at Fantastic Fest and am so fired up that it’s on Shudder. This was first posted on October 1, 2021. Bangui’s Hyenas, an elite mercenary team, have already extracted a drug dealer and his treasure from the chaos of a coup and are heading straight for the payout in […]
CANNON MONTH 2: Caged Fury (1990)
At one point in this movie, the female inmates begin to fight and Crazy Daisy (Tiffany Million, once a GLOW girl and later an adult star) says, “I seen this in Chained Heat!” Yes, you sure did. While Cirio H. Santiago also made a movie called Caged Fury just six years earlier, this one — directed and written […]
