VCI CLASSICS DVD RELEASE: The Cisco Kid Collection
If you like the Cisco Kid, good news. This set has so many movies with the character and is a lot of fun. I had never seen any of these before and I had a great time with this set, which is full of movies. South of the Rio Grande: There were three Cisco Kid movies […]
Cisco Kid Movie Collection: King of the Bandits (1947)
In Arizona, The Cisco Kid (Gilbert Roland) and Pancho (Chris-Pin Martin) learn that someone has been impersonating Cisco and robbing people.

How does one become a […]
MILL CREEK THE SWINGIN’ SEVENTIES: Identikit (1974)
Muriel Spark sold her novel The Driver’s Seat as a whydunnit instead of a detective story. The movie that was made from it, Identikit, by Giuseppe Patroni Griffi somehow goes from a rambling narrative of a woman who has lost or is losing her mind — you knew it, f.giallo — that eventually transforms at the end […]
