Burgess Meredith’s final film, this is the sequel to Grumpy Old Men, basically taking the relationship between Max (Walter Matthau) and John (Jack Lemmon) to its logical friendly — for a time — level as their kids Melanie (Daryl Hannah) and Jacob (Kevin Pollak) prepare to get married and John and Ariel (Ann-Margret) enjoy their new wedded bliss. But of course, there must be a fight before its all over.

Director Howard Deutch worked with John Hughes often, directing The Great Outdoors, Pretty In Pink and Some Kind of Wonderful. He’d work with Lemon and Matthau again for The Odd Couple II yet had much more success with The Replacements, which if you had basic cable, chances are you’ve seen at least once.

Improbably, Matthau’s character somehow wins over a newcomer to town, Maria Ragetti, played by Sophia Loren.

There was nearly another sequel called Grumpiest Old Men, which would be set in Rome and feature Marcello Mastroianni as Maria’s former husband. Sadly, Mastroianni died and so did Lemon and Matthau’s other films, Out to Sea and the aforementioned Odd Couple sequel.

Dr. Jason Holden is in his early 50s with a family reeling from a tragic automobile accident that has placed his daughter in a wheelchair. Meanwhile, he is going through his old dark night of the soul, as a new job as a piano accompanist at a local ballet studio leads to him coming out and falling in love with Brandon a troubled young dancer.

Frederick Keeve is the auteur behind this, as the writer, director and star. This film is the result of a shorter version of the movie that he made in 2018.

He also is making The Accompanist Awakening, which will feature the newly engaged lovers as they return to Los Angeles after two years in New York City.

While this is a world I’ve never lived in, I could really feel the emotion in every scene. If this sounds like a story you’d be interested in, you should check it out when it is released digitally on Tuesday, June 2.

Did you watch Evil Toons and say, “I want a movie somehow even worse than this without Madison Stone to make up for the abject boredom that I felt while watching it?”

Good news! Or, well, horrible news.

Mark Thomas McGee, who wrote Equinox, wrote this for director Fred Olen Rey. It has Ruth Collins — yes, Bubbles from Firehouse and Tina from Doom Asylum — in it, as well as Veronica Carothers (who played two different roles in Vice Academy 3 and 4), scream queen Michelle Bauer and Priscilla Barnes, who was once Felix Leiter’s dead wife in Licence to Kill. You may know her from getting killed in Rob Zombie’s The Devil’s Rejects. Or maybe you remember her more fondly — and more alive — as Nurse Terri who replaced Suzanne Sommers on Three’s Company.  And oh hell, let’s thrown in Suzanna Agar (Shock ‘Em Dead, Evil Toons).

Playing Satan? Robert Vaughn who, as we all know, deserves better. So did Gary Graver, who shot this a decade after Orson Welles died and so did his dream of making a completed movie with him.

If you want to watch women paddle one another and somehow see what should be something every red blooded American boy — and hey girls too, the world is robust and filled with all manner of people and we love them all — should adore rendered into sheer boredom, then by all means, seek out this fecund steaming pile of trash.

You know how I always say that these Eurospy movies are like the UN? How about this one, which is an Israeli/German/Italian movie co-directed by Gianfranco Baldanello (Danger!! Death Ray) and one of my favorite insane people, Menahem Golan — the man who would soon enough direct the magnum opus The Apple.

Who would star, some would wonder? Fabio Testi from One Damned Day at Dawn… Django Meets Sartana! and Fulci’s The Four of the Apocalypse and Contraband. Oh yes.

The love interest? Janet Agren from City of the Living Dead! Oh man!

That’s most of the excitement of the film, which promises a Bond-like experience from its poster and description and does not deliver.

You can watch this on Amazon Prime or YouTube:

Also known as The Surabaya Conspiracy, Stoney stars Barbara Bouchet as Irene Stone, who has a plan to recover treasure hidden in a vault under a rich man’s swimming pool.

Director Wray Davis’ only film, this movie makes little to no sense. Seriously, I’m someone who can make it through nearly any foreign post-apocalyptic or slasher film and even I had issues with this one.

Michael Preston (Road Warrior) is in this, as is Michael Rennie (Klaatu from The Day the Earth Stood Still), Richard Jaeckel and Vic Diaz (Beyond Atlantis, The Big Bird Cage and so many other Filipino movies).

I really wanted to like this more than I did. But there we have it — even a movie with Barbara Bouchet running around nearly nude can be boring.

You can watch the whole thing on YouTube:

Yes, that’s what we need right now. A movie about a virus that is destroying the entire world! Virus of the Dead is a zombie horror anthology that uses found footage style action to tell about what happens after a zombie virus goes through America.

If you’re ready to, well, forget about being quarantined and watch a movie about it, then…I guess this is the movie for you.

There are plenty of different talents working on this, including James Cullen Bressack (If Looks Could Kill), Shane Ryan (Samurai Cop 2), Timo Rose (Game Over), Jarrett Furst (Verotika) and Return of the Living Dead 3 scripter John Penney. It was put together by producer Tony Newton (VHS Lives, Grindsploitation).

The majority of the stories are held together by the fact that people just can’t put their phones or get off social media, even when the world is ending all around them. I’m sure you can relate.
