The Marvels (2023)
People seem gleeful that superhero movies aren’t doing as well, as if it’s fun to ruin someone’s party. These are the same people who make fun of girls for liking Taylor Swift, post mean things on holidays and during the Super Bowl, and generally are the ones I hide or eventually unfriend online. Look, life […]
Cisco Kid Movie Collection: The Daring Caballero (1949)
Directed by Wallace Fox and written by Betty Burbridge, this has Cisco (Duncan Renaldo) learn that Pappy Del Rio (David Leonard) is about to be hung for a crime he didn’t do.

VCI BLU RAY RELEASE and Spagvemberfest 2023: A Bullet for Sandoval (1969)
John Warner (George Hilton) deserts the Confederate Army when he learns that his lover Rosa (Annabella Incontrera, Black Belly of the Tarantula) is about to deliver his child.

MILL CREEK SCI-FI CLASSICS: The Snow Creature (1954)
EDITOR’S NOTE: I know this ran during Chiller Theater month. Maybe this is why I need more people to write for the site. Maybe you should volunteer, right? Dr. Frank Parrish (Paul Langton) is collecting botanical samples in the Himalayas when the wife of his guide Subra (Teru Shimada) is kidnapped. The guide takes over and forces […]
TUBI ORIGINAL: Still Here (2023)
I’m always amazed when a Tubi movie ends up feeling like a giallo, at least in plot. Famous writer William Law (Charles Malik Whitfield) accidentally kills his wife Jennifer (Veronika Bozeman) when they’re fighting over him leaving her for Kaitlyn (LaRita Shelby). He thinks she’s dead, so he does what bad giallo husbands do. He […]
MILL CREEK SCI-FI CLASSICS: Moon of the Wolf (1972)
Daniel Petrie made some pretty much films — Fort Apache the Bronx, A Raisin in the Sun and The Betsy — as well as some memorable made-for-TV movies like Sybil (which ruled mid-70s bookshelves and viewings) and The Dollmaker. Here, he’s in Louisiana along with a stellar cast making a movie that honestly could have played drive-ins. That’s how […]
MILL CREEK SCI-FI CLASSICS: Mesa of Lost Women (1953)
Before Ron Ormond went off and made his religious films, he was making some really out there movies. Actually, the religious films are just as bonkers, but Mesa of Lost Women is plenty strange as well. Originally called Tarantula, Ormond came in, added some new footage and gave it the kind of name that would draw drive-in […]
MILL CREEK SCI-FI CLASSICS: Menace from Outer Space (1956)

Shot in black and white, the show was about Rocky’s adventures as the space policeman for the United Worlds. Flying in his Orbit Jet XV-2 — […]
