USA UP ALL NIGHT MONTH: Night of the Living Dead (1968)
EDITOR’S NOTE: Night of the Living Dead was on USA Up All Night on July 29, 1995. I’ve debated writing about this film for the site for a long time. It’s beyond a seminal movie and it’s also from right where we call home. There’s probably no modern horror movie as important as this one for […]
USA UP ALL NIGHT MONTH: Party Line (1988)
EDITOR’S NOTE: Party Line was on USA Up All Night on May 11 and August 12, 1990 and June 27, 1992. This is the most 1988 movie that I have ever seen, one that is equal parts Cinemax After Dark semi-sleaze mixed with some last gasps of celebrity fame, along with a late model slasher and even […]
USA UP ALL NIGHT MONTH: Hellraiser (1987)
EDITOR’S NOTE: Hellraiser was on USA Up All Night on October 26, 1996 and July 25, October 25 and November 8, 1997. Horror movies don’t scare me. Not anymore. Some of them disturb me, like the cannibal films. But only one still kind of scares me. And that would be Hellraiser. There was a time, before the […]
USA UP ALL NIGHT MONTH: Almost Hollywood (1994)
EDITOR’S NOTE: Almost Hollywood was on USA Up All Night on February 9, 1996. After this movie, Crown International Pictures took nine years off. I will tell you that that is not because this is a good movie and they felt they’d done all they could do. Quite the opposite. However, in my endless quest to watch […]
USA UP ALL NIGHT MONTH: Nothing In Common (1986)
EDITOR’S NOTE: Nothing In Common was on USA Up All Night on October 28, 1989. Nothing In Common is responsible for what I do for a living. I won tickets to see this movie from a trivia contest on WKST radio in New Castle, PA. As I sat in the theater, I was amazed by […]
USA UP ALL NIGHT MONTH: Beach Babes from Beyond (1993)
EDITOR’S NOTE: Beach Babes from Beyond was on USA Up All Night on October 4, 1996 and December 19, 1997. Xena (Sarah Bellomo AKA adult star Roxanne Blaze), Luna (Tamara Landry) and Sola (Nicole Posey) steal Zena’s parent’s (Don Swayze and Jackie Stallone!?!) spaceship and head out to meet some guys but crash land on Earth where […]
USA UP ALL NIGHT MONTH: The Pom-Pom Girls (1976)
EDITOR’S NOTE: The Pom-Pom Girls was on USA Up All Night on June 30, July 1 and November 18, 1989; April 14 and December 7, 1990 and August 24, 1991. Director Joseph Ruben has made some pretty good movies like Dreamscape, The Stepfather, Sleeping With the Enemy and The Good Son. This Crown International Pictures movie was directed by him and […]
USA UP ALL NIGHT MONTH: Slammer Girls (1987)
EDITOR’S NOTE: Slammer Girls was on USA Up All Night on September 16, 1995. Chuck Vincent made a women in prison movie and yes, I’m shocked too. Politician Jerry Calwell (Henri Pachard!) has become governor thanks to being tough on crime. Then someone shoots him in the sack the night of the election. There’s a big push […]
USA UP ALL NIGHT MONTH: Mr. Mom (1983)
EDITOR’S NOTE: Mr. Mom was on USA Up All Night on December 23, 1994 and January 13 and April 26, 1996. Mr. Mom sets up so many comedy patterns for the 80s. Michael Keaton: Born in Pittsburgh — Kennedy Township or McKee’s Rocks — and starting his career on Mr. Roger’s Neighborhood, Keaton went to LA and his first […]
