CHATTANOOGA FILM FESTIVAL 2025: Four Evil Deeds (2024)
Directed and written by Richard Peter Hunter, this is , quite simply, a movie about people being bad. Six people give in to their impulses; this can happen no matter your station in life, whether you’re an ex-con trying to get back to a normal life outside of jail or a rich lawyer in a […]
ARROW 4K UHD RELEASE: Cobra (1986)
Crime is the disease. He’s the cure. I’ve opined that if we compare the two God-tier action stars—Arnold and Sly—Arnold may have the best overall catalog, but Stallone has the better individual films. One wins the battle, the other wins the war. Or, as he’d say, “Don’t push it, or I’ll give you war you […]
Sizzlin’ Summer of Side-Splitters 2025: Catnado (2022)
June 23-29 Cat Week: Cats! They’re earth’s funniest creatures (sorry chimps, you’re psychos). Why did I watch this? Well, look at the directors and you can pick out the ones I would be obsessed by: Curtis Everitt, Donald Farmer, Alaine Huntington, Blair Kelly, James M. Myers, Melvin Pittman, Tim Ritter, Jerry Williams and Logan Winton. […]
Chattanooga Film Festival 2025 Red Eye #3: Killer Party (1986)
William Fruet made his directorial debut with Wedding in White, based on a play he had written. The film won Best Picture at the Canadian Film Awards in 1973 and starred Carol Kane and Donald Pleasence. He followed that up with an intriguing string of Canuxploitation films, obviously taking full advantage of those wonderful tax shelter […]
CHATTANOOGA FILM FESTIVAL 2025: Solvent (2024)
I am obsessed with the films of Johannes Grenzfurthner (Razzennest, Masking Threshold), and I was somewhat concerned, as you know how when your favorite band has a new album, you worry if this is the one where they lose it or worse, sell out? That’s how I felt about this. Luckily, my concerns could be […]
JUNESPLOITATION: Knights of the City (1986)
June 23: Junesploitation’s topic of the day — as suggested by F This Movie— is New World Pictures! Leon Isaac Kennedy is a hero in these parts, and wow, I only thought he made magic like in the movies Body and Soul and the Penitentiary. He wrote this movie, which was produced by Miami Gold, the […]
