Unidentified Flying Objects: The True Story of Flying Saucers is a pseudo-documentary meant to cash-in on the UFO paranoia that gripped the late 40’s and early 50’s. A reporter named Al Chop investigates during the dramatized portions of the film which supposedly recreates “actual” events. In the end, the audience gets to take a look a “top ( Read more... )

Joe Spinell (in one of his last films) stars as The Undertaker. He’s upset that people are taking vitamins. They’re not smoking or drinking and driving as much either. That means they’re living longer. And that means it’s cutting into his profit margin. He then decides to “drum up business” by killing a bunch of women. (Usually right after ( Read more... )

As you all probably know, the great director Tony Scott passed away last week. He of course is the man that gave us such legendary fare as Top Gun, Days of Thunder, True Romance, and The Last Boy Scout. I’ve had many requests to do some sort of retrospective on Scott, but my plate is kinda full right now. Instead, I’ll just try to find time over ( Read more... )

Up from the Depths is a really dull movie. When you watch a movie as dull as this one, you feel you’d be better off watching paint dry. At least with wet paint there’d be a possibility of getting high off the fumes. Damn is this movie ever bad. I don’t think it’s quite the worst Jaws rip-off ever made (that would be Tentacles), but it certainly ( Read more... )

Ever since I started this blog (which will be five years old come July 17th), I’ve wanted to review Uncle Sam in honor of Independence Day.

Here’s a great horror/comedy from the 60’s that you may not have seen, but you definitely should. It plays like a lost Herschell Gordon Lewis movie or something. It’s funny, gory, and a heck of a lot of fun ( Read more... )

I went into Underworld: Awakening with the lowest of low expectations. I pretty much hated the first two entries in the franchise, and although I thought that Part 3 was a step in the right direction; it still wasn’t a very good movie. I never gave enough of a shit to see any of these movies in the theater, but I saw this one at the mall only ( Read more... )
