    Massacre In Dinosaur Valley – Movie Review:

    Also knowns as Amazonas and Nudo e selvaggio (which would seem to translate to Nude And Savage, which is a pretty bad ass title for a movie like this), Michele Massimo Tarantini’s goofy 1985 jungle adventure Massacre In Dinosaur Valley stars Michael Sopkiw as Kevin Hall. He’s     ...

    Tourist Trap – Movie Review:

    Directed by co-written by David Schmoeller (who would later go on to direct the first Puppet Master film as well as the Klaus Kinski vehicle Crawlspace) and produced by Charles Band, 1979’s Tourist Trap begins with a guy named Woody (Keith McDermott) and his lady friend Eileen (Robin Sherwood) are stuck on the side of the road, the victims of a flat tire. Woody takes the tire up the road to try and get help, and Eileen connects with travelling companions Jerry (Jon Van Ness),     ...

    The Girl Meets Girl Collection (Retro-Seduction Cinema) DVD Review
    Released by: Retro-Seduction Cinema
    Released on: July 5th, 2005.
    Director: Joe Sarno
    Cast: Marie Forsa, Nadia Henkowa, Anke Syring, Ulrike Butz, Nico Wolferstetter, Ines André, Birgit Zamulo, Eric Edwards, Harry Reems, Heidi Kappler
    Year: 1973/1974/1975
    Purchase From Amazon

    The Girl Meets Girl Collection – Movie Review:

    Three collaborations between sultry Maria Forsa and sexploitation maestro Joseph Sarno in one handy-dandy box? You bet. It’s the Girl Meets Girl Collection, from Seduction Cinema, a pretty swanky set that compiles the three films that Sarno made with producer Chris D. Nebes. What makes these interesting? Well aside from the usual Sarno touches and the interesting casting choices, all three films were shot in Germany, as opposed to his usual locales, being the United States and Sweden. Sarno would make better films than the three in this set both before and after production wrapped on this trilogy, but these three stand out as well made curiosity items and offer plenty of classy, sleazy, sexy soap opera fun in the grand Sarno tradition none the less.

    Vampire Ecstasy (1973):

    Better known in horror movie circles as Veil Of Blood, Joseph Sarno's     ...

    Year: 1979

    Caligula - The Imperial Edition – Movie Review:

    Caligula must have sounded like a sure thing. Famed writer and historian Gore Vidal wrote a script detailing the rise and fall of Gaius Julius Caesar Augustus Germanicus, better known as Caligula (his nickname meaning ‘Little Boots’). Bob Guccione, the founder of Penthouse Magazine helped bankroll the production meaning that there’d be no shortage of cash on hand to realize Vidal’s vision. Italian sexploitation auteur Tinto Brass, fresh off of the extremely successful Salon Kitty , was going to direct while Oscar award winning Danilo Donati was going to handle the set design and art direction. Master composer Bruno Nicolai (credited under the pseudonym of Paul Clemente) would supply an appropriately grandiose score, while in front of the camera the acting duties would be performed by such illustrious thespians as Malcolm McDowell, future Academy Award Winner Helen Mirren, Italian exploitation regular John     ...

    Shivers – Movie Review:

    David Cronenberg’s 1975 feature film debut, also known as They Came From Within (and before that as The Parasite Murders), is set entirely in Starliner Towers, a fancy high-rise apartment building that is essentially self-sufficient and which is located on an island near Montreal. As two possible tenants arrive and discuss the facility with the property manager, upstairs an older man named Dr. Emil Hobbes (Fred Doederlein, who also appears in Cronenberg’s Scanners) murders and then cuts open the stomach of a young woman named Annabelle Brown (Cathy Graham)     ...

    Graveyards Of Honor – Movie Review:

    Arrow Video pairs together Kinji Fukasaku’s 1975 Yakuza classic Graveyard Of Honor with its 2002 remake, helmed by Takashi Miike. Both films are based on Fujita Goro's novel of the same name, which tells the story of real life Yakuza Rikio Ishikawa.

    Graveyard Of Honor (1975):

    In Kinji Fukasaku’s Graveyard of Honor, Tetsuya Watari (of Seijun Suzuki’s Tokyo Drifter) plays Rikio Ishikawa, an up and coming street thug of sorts who inadvertently ends up joining the Kawada Yakuza gang who operate out of Tokyo in the 1940s.

    Ghost In The Shell – Movie Review:

    One of those rare anime features that even people not into anime know about, Ghost In The Shell is widely considered one of the best of its kind, and for a very good reason. A remarkably high concept Blade Runner inspired slice of cyberpunk sci-fi, it's exciting, tense, stylish and even pretty thought provoking.

    Death Wish 3 – Movie Review:

    As Michael Winner had directed Charles Bronson in the first two Death Wish films to great success it would go without saying that if Golan Globus, those legendary producers of some of the finest movies of the eighties, could team them up for a third and milk the franchise name for all it was worth they'd make it happen. And so they did just that. Bronson, with his career starting to head downhill at this point, begrudgingly agreed and this would     ...
