WEIRD WEDNESDAY: All the Sins of Sodom (1968)
The title of this movie is awesome, but then I found out that it’s also called All The Evils Of Satan, and I don’t know if I could be more enthusiastic about a film. New York City shutterbug Henning (Dan Machuen) is supposed to shoot some nudes for his agent Paula (Peggy Sarno), but is […]
WEIRD WEDNESDAY: All the Colors of the Dark (1972)
The first five and a half minutes of 1972’s All the Colors of the Dark (also known as Day of the Maniac and They’re Coming to Get You!) subvert what I call Giallo’s “graphic beauty” in intriguing ways. An outdoor scene of a stream slowly darkens, replaced by an old crone with blackened teeth, dressed as a child and a […]
WEIRD WEDNESDAY: Alley Cat (1984)

[…]
WEIRD WEDNESDAY: Adios Amigo (1975)
Richard Pryor may have co-written Blazing Saddles, but didn’t star in it. Fred Williamson thought it was too silly, so the two of them got together and made their own Western comedy. The script was just 12 pages, and Pryor ad-libbed most of it. Williamson said, “I wanted to give him an idea, a concept, and then just […]
WEIRD WEDNESDAY: Act of Aggression (1975)
Directed by Gérard Pirès — who wrote the story with the author of the book that it’s based on, Jean-Patrick Manchette, although John Buell’s novel The Shrewsdale Exit has also been cited as an inspiration in other places — L’agression is the story of Paul Varlin (Jean-Louis Trintignant), who obviously has road rage issues. Well, after some bikers […]
