MILL CREEK BLU RAY RELEASE: Peter Falk 4-Film Comedy Collection
Mill Creek box sets are big favorites with us and this is a great way to watch four Peter Falk movies all for one great price. The Cheap Detective: Falk does Humphrey Bogart with help from Neil Simon in a movie that has a huge cast: Madeline Kahn, Dom DeLuise, Louise Fletcher, Ann-Margret, Eileen Brennan, […]
MILL CREEK BLU RAY RELEASE: Peter Falk 4-Film Comedy Collection: Happy New Year (1987)
John G. Avildsen is probably best known for movies with fighting in their center, like the two Rocky and three Karate Kid movies he made. Here, he’s working from a script by Warren Lane, which was based on La bonne année by Claude Lelouch. Nick (Peter Falk) and Charlie (Charles Durning) are two old timer thieves looking […]
MILL CREEK BLU RAY RELEASE: Peter Falk 4-Film Comedy Collection: Big Trouble (1986)
Big Trouble is the last movie that John Cassavetes would direct and it reunites Peter Falk and Alan Arkin, who starred in writer Andrew Bergman’s The In-Laws, but the wild thing is that without this movie, Back to the Future may not have come out from Universal. That’s because it was so similar to Double Indemnity that […]
JESS FRANCO MONTH: Les filles de Copacabana (1981)

The first tale is decent but the second is expected. In “A Question of Fear,” mercenary Colonel Dennis Malloy (Leslie Nielsen) laughs when Dr. Mazi (Fritz Weaver) discusses […]
The Other Fellow (2022)
What an incredible idea for a film. Matthew Bauer, who directed this and co-wrote it with Rene van Pannevis, went around the world to learn what it’s like to actually have the name James Bond. The title for this movie comes from George Lazenby’s line in his lone appearance as 007: “This never happened to the […]
JESS FRANCO MONTH: Love Camp (1977)
Jess Franco and Erwin C. Dietrich go back to prison again, except that this is about a women’s prison camp that really is used to gather sex slaves to serve as comfort women for a revolutionary army. That means that while the soldiers are fighting for some level of equality, they also need inspiration of […]
