Drive-In Friday: Movie Punks
Punk rockers have had it rough on screen. Either they’re playing a gang that needs to be taken care of by the law or they’re ruining neighborhoods or they’re just plain dumb. Very few films take the sheer unbridled joy on punk and shove it in your face in an enjoyable way. This week, we […]
Drive-In Friday: Computers Take Over the World
This Drive-In Friday comes courtesy of a free cable TV week of EPIX and surfing their eclectic catalog of films that led me to revisit 1954’s Gog after many years. I remember seeing that early A.I effort as a wee lad weened on UHF-TV — and it scared the sand out of me. Today, eh. […]
Drive-In Friday: USA’s Night Flight . . . Night!
If you’ve spent any amount of time at B&S About Movies, you’re sick of our waxing nostalgic for USA Network’s “Night Flight” weekend, four-hour programming block that ran on Friday and Saturday nights . . . it’s what got us through middle school and high school, and even college, from 1981 to 1988. But what […]
Drive-In Friday: Film Ventures International Night
Film Ventures International, we love you. You started — and by you, we mean your owner Edward L. Montoro, by writing, directing and producing the adult film Getting Into Heaven in 1968. That movie, made for $13,000, brought back twenty times its cost. When other studios innovated, FVI either brought in films from foreign lands — […]

Drive-In Friday: Black Gloves Required
We’ve been featuring plenty of giallo, neo giallo and movies that may or may not be giallo all week long here. When trying to determine four movies that should play in a row, these fashionable murder movies make it hard. After all, so many of them have near formless plots that might confuse or bore […]
Drive-In Friday: Italian Junk
Have I ever told you how much I love Italian movies? Oh, I have? Well guess what, dear reader? Sit on down and let me tell you of the four movies that I will have you watch this week at the drive-in. Grab a slice of the famous Toluna Pizza, crack open a bottle of […]

Drive-In Friday: Movies About Movies Night
Thanks for joining us at “The Francis” last weekend for our “Drive-In Friday: First Time Directors & Actors Night.” Tonight, we continue the theme of that night with four movies about those movies — well, two of them, anyway. And the last two feature Nicolas Cage — and we all know about The Cage’s unorthodox […]
