I wasn’t quite sure how and if Suicide Squad was going to work. As it turns out, it’s essentially The Avengers, but with supervillains instead of superheroes. In fact, the big stumbling block about it is the fact that it hews a little too closely to The Avengers formula ( Read more... )

Three filmmakers sit around a table and hash out an idea for a nudie movie. They eventually settle on a plot about a girl from the sticks who comes to the big city to make it as an actress by sleeping her way to the top. Since one of the filmmakers keeps pushing to make the flick in color, we occasionally get to see snippets of (very) brief full- ( Read more... )

This one focuses on “Adults Only” movies and roadshow pictures ranging from the ‘30s to the ’60s. (Timothy Farrell shows up A LOT!) I’m a fan of these ( Read more... )

I know this isn’t a horror movie, but it’s probably the scariest flick I’ve seen all month. Sure, it’s just a dumb and annoying Beatles rip-off/cash-in, but there is a Halloween connection in here, I swear. The guy who plays the record company guy is none other than Donald Pleasence (the same year he starred in Halloween, no less). Yes, I know ( Read more... )
