Jack Scalia works at a nuclear power plant that is almost completely controlled via computer. Before you can say “Open the pod bay doors, HAL”, the computer goes haywire and locks everyone out of the system. It sees the humans in the plant as a potential threat and tries to kills them. There’s also a massive hurricane looming, and if the plant ( Read more... )

Hybrid is a hybrid of a post-apocalyptic action flick, monster movie and Skinamax film. I had high hopes for it since it was directed by Video Vacuum favorite Fred Olen Ray and co-executive produced by the one and only Jim Wynorski. Sadly, it just doesn’t make the cut ( Read more... )

Fred Olen Ray’s Final Examination is a weird one. It never really figures out if it wants to be a Skinamax movie (there are lots of softcore sex scenes), a police procedural thriller (Brent Huff and Kari Wuhrer spend a lot of time asking people questions), an action film (there are long car chases using footage from other movies like Get Carter), ( Read more... )

I’m a sucker for a good werewolf movie. I’m even down for a genetically mutated werewolf movie (as long as they’re better than Project: Metalbeast that is). However, I think Dino Wolf is the first genetically mutated PREHISTORIC werewolf movie ever made. Because it was directed by the great Fred Olen Ray, I knew I just had to check it out ( Read more... )

A wanted criminal (Ross Hagen) escapes Space Jail just before being executed and heads to Earth in a stolen spaceship. Space Warden Jan-Michael Vincent sends a female killing machine (played by bodybuilder Teagan) after him. A bunch of annoying campers wind up in her crosshairs and it’s up to a Forest Ranger (John Phillip Law) to protect them ( Read more... )

Peter Fonda has been one of my favorite actors for about as long as I can remember. From his work for Roger Corman in the ‘60s, to his stellar drive-in films of the ‘70s, to the quirky character work he did in independent films in the ‘90s, Fonda is always a joy to watch. Today, we’ll look at three films from the man’s long and varied career ( Read more... )

Ever since (quite literally) bursting onto the Skinamax scene in Jim Wynorksi’s The Hills Have Thighs and Busty Coeds vs. Lusty Cheerleaders, Kylee Nash has quickly become one of my favorite actresses. In addition to her exquisite 32HH bust, Kylee also has some considerable comedic skills. Of course, her exquisite 32HH bust is pretty much what ( Read more... )

If you’ve been watching Skinamax late at night any time during the past decade, Beverly Lynne’s face (and body) will be instantly recognizable. She’s starred in a slew of Skinamax movies and has carved out a nice niche for herself as one of the reigning queens of late night cable. Because of that, the beautiful Beverly is a Legend of the Silver ( Read more... )

Linnea Quigley has always been my favorite of the ‘80s Scream Queens. Throughout the years I have been fortunate enough to meet Linnea at several horror conventions and she has always been genuinely kind and appreciative. So because of her amazing talent (not to mention putting up with my fanboy ramblings), Linnea Quigley is a Legend of the ( Read more... )

With Valentine’s Day coming up, I figured February would be a great month to hold Skinamax-A-Palooza. So all month long, I’ll be taking a look at the steamy fare that dominates late night cable. And what better way to kick off Skinamax-A-Palooza than with a double shot of films from the reigning king of Skinamax, Fred Olen Ray ( Read more... )
