Drive-In Friday: First Time Directors & Actors Night
The criterion for this Friday’s theme night is simple: all of tonight’s films are by first time directors and actors who didn’t attend, or at the very least, complete their studies through, a theatre arts program. Sure, we could revisit Kevin Smith’s Clerks and Troy Duffy’s Boondock Saints. But we’ve been there and done that […]
Drive-In Friday: A-List Apocalypse
Oh, how we go on and on about the apocalypse on this site. Especially the films shot in Australia, Italy, and the Philippines. We love it so much that we waxed nostalgic — twice — about Michael Sopkiw’s and Sergio Martino’s 2019: After the Fall of New York (Sam and R.D reviews). We even went […]
Drive-In Friday: Roger Braden
ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Roger Braden runs the Facebook group Valley Nightmares, which is all about the history of the films that played at the drive-ins and theaters in his home state of Kentucky. Besides that, he loves metal as much as I do and brings kick ass moonshine to the drive-in. He’s one of my favorite […]
Drive-In Friday: Musician Slashers Night
We, the celluloid thoughtful folks at B&S About Movies, with our vast end-of-the-world apoc-movie knowledge (as seen in our Atomic Dustbin roundup) know this recent Coronavirus lockdown is a trying time for all of us movie lovers. So we’ve decided to open up the B&S About Movies Drive-In where, each Friday afternoon at 11 AM […]
DRIVE-IN FRIDAY: Eddie Harrison
ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Eddie Harrison has been a critic in print for The List magazine since 2003, and as a broadcaster for the BBC for the same period. He writes his own personal blog at film-authority.com. Here are his picks for a four-movie drive-in night of cinematic excess. MOVIE 1: Highway Racer Italian movies of the 70’s […]
Drive-In Friday: Karate Blaxploitation
If I had a video store, there’d inevitably be a martial arts section. And that section would be next to the Blaxploitation section. And the shelf-transition between those two sections would feature a “Karate Blaxploitation” sub-genre shelf. Sure, you’d find all the obvious films in there and you’d probably go looking for Black Belt Jones […]
DRIVE-IN FRIDAY: Guest curator Paul Andolina
ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Paul Andolina is our next drive-in currator. You can check out his blogs Wrestling with Film and Is the Dad Alive? for more. It’s late September, the air is starting to get a bit colder than usual, and the leaves will soon be dropping, you are headed to the drive-in at the old quarry with […]
DRIVE-IN FRIDAY: Sean Mitus
EDITOR’S NOTE: Thanks to Sean Mitus for sharing his drive-in night. He’s a big fan of the Mahoning Drive-In, so it was great to have him share these with us. MOVIE 1: Bay of Blood (1971, Mario Bava): Bay of Blood is the often-imitated Bava proto-slasher often imitated (spear through the couple in bed scene stolen for F13, […]
Drive-In Friday: Heavy Metal Horror Night
I came to B&S About Movies, the website, after I listened to B&S About Movies, the podcast. And long before I became a writer at B&S About Movies, Sam expressed his love of horror films and heavy metal music with his first “theme week” in 2017: “No False Metal.” So, for this Drive-In Friday, we’ll […]
Drive-In Friday: Black & White Night
For this week’s installment of our weekly (at 11 AM) Drive-In Friday feature, we’re kickin’ it old school out ‘ere in the sticks amid the aroma of mosquito coils and heat-carouseled hotdogs — and probably cow and horse poo from the farm on the otherside of our lot’s treeline. Now if yer one of those […]
