CANNON MONTH 2: Joey (1977)
EDITOR’S NOTE: This isn’t a Cannon movie but a 21st Century release. It was originally distributed in 1975 as Deliver Us From Evil. The trailer for this movie claims that it’s “a movie that tells it like it is about blacks. The beautiful blacks. The evil blacks.” It’s also a movie that’s preaching to its audience […]
CANNON MONTH 2: The Working Girls (1974)
Stephanie Rothman studied film at USC, was the first woman to be awarded the Directors Guild of America fellowship and wanted to make “highly thoughtful, European-like small films” that were inspired by Bergman’s The Seventh Seal. After her first movie for Roger Corman, who hired her as his assistant, she got to make her first movie, […]
CANNON MONTH 2: I Go Pogo (1980)
EDITOR’S NOTE: Thanks for being part of the second Cannon Month. There are so many movies to get to, from the rest of the films Menahem Golan directed to 21st Century’s 70s films that they distributed to the thousands of titles that Cannon owned. Trust me — there will be a third Cannon Month. This […]
The Lost City (2022)
You know, I watch a lot of horror movies but I can admit to liking stuff like Romancing the Stone. So when The Lost City came out, I was pretty excited about it. And it definitely lived up to what I thought it would be. Directed by Aaron and Adam Nee from a script by Oren Uziel […]
Out There Halloween Mega Tape (2022)
If you haven’t seen the WNUF Halloween Special, you should just stop reading this and do exactly that. This spiritual sequel, directed and written by Chris LaMartina (Call Girl of Cthulhu, What Happens Next Will Scare You, WNUF Halloween Special) moves from the UHF past to the VHS, well, also past to inform of us of what […]
ARROW BLU RAY RELEASE: A Fugitive From the Past (1965)
Director by Tomu Uchida (Bloody Spear at Mount Fuji, The Mad Fox), A Fugitive From the Past came in sixth place in Kinema Junpo magazine’s 1995 poll of the Top Japanese Films of the 20th Century, third in 1999 and sixteenth in their 2009 poll. As a storm sends a passenger ferry to a watery grave claiming […]
CANNON MONTH 2: Ninja Vengeance (1993)
Jesse (David Lord) says he’s a ninja, but he has all these books on being a ninja in his gear and I don’t think that real ninjas learn from a book. They’re raised as ninjas, right? Or they come in as adopted ninjas like Snake Eyes or Nero in Enter the Ninja. I also don’t […]
CANNON MONTH 2: Mad Dog Coll (1992)
21st Century released Hit the Dutchman the same year as this movie, which concentrated on Dutch Schultz. This Greydon Clark and Ken Stein-directed film is about his nemesis, Vincent Coll, who started off as a street fighter and works his way up to becoming a crime boss. Coll was called Mad Dog by the press after […]
CANNON MONTH 2: The Image of Bruce Lee (1978)
EDITOR’S NOTE: Yes, this isn’t a Cannon. It’s 21st Century, which was later sold to Menahem Golan. But hey — it is a fake Bruce Lee movie too, so let’s get into it. No less a luminary than Quentin Tarantino reviewed this movie, setting it up by saying that “Both Bruce Li and 21st Century […]
