  • ARCANA - A weird film from Giulio Questi...who'da thunk it? This one's about mother and son psychics, the mom scams gullible customers but the son seems to have genuine abilities. Tina Aumont is one of the marks but the son has plans for her...tip off number one that this is a strange one - the mother starts spitting up live frogs. The ending is a head scratcher for the ages. I have no fuggin' idea what it meant but it certainly kept me watching. Good score too. This one makes DJANGO KILL seem very straight forward.

    • Repossessed. A couple of funny lines. Not much else. When they focus on parodying the Exorcist it hits stronger notes but it's just a not a very good comedy. It blows my mind that this got a PG rating and yet it features 4 breasts and 2 asses.

      • Well, PG-13. Although by then the MPAA was so anti-nudity that you would typically see less skin in a PG-13 than you would have in a straight PG in the '70s.

        • Just checking. Am I alone in thinking that Road House isn't a so a bad it's good style picture? Cheesy for sure. But overall I think it's a damn solid action film in line with what is usual in the genre like Commando or Cobra.

          • A Decade Under The Influence: Great docu on the 70's cinematic revolution. A lot of films featured that I haven't seen.

            • Don't Go In The Woods - Vincent D'Onofrio wrote and directed this movie about a bunch of hipster musicians from Brooklyn who go into the woods to write their new album and get the record deal they all know they deserve. One guy is blind. Some chicks show up, people smoke some pot, cell phones get smashed and then people start dying but mostly... they sing. A lot. And not all that well. It would be easy to dismiss this as a big steaming pile of poop, and in some ways it is, but then there's the ending where there's a good chase, some great kills scenes and some nasty gore. Not quite enough to make up for the singing, mind you, but I was surprised that it went where it did.

              Zoom In: Sex Apartment - If Argento made a sex filled giallo about girls getting their hoohaw's lit on fire by a rapist, it would have probably turned out something like this.

              • High Life (Gary Yates, 2009). Canadian made-for-cable junkie heist comedy starring Timothy Olyphant as Jim Carrey in a wig. Can-con productions are the new tax shelter movies, and I feel fine. It's 1983 and everything is different, Olyphant's Dick explains to Stephen Eric McIntyre's Bug as they stand gazing at an ATM; foolproof capers ensue. The design budget doesn't run to much authentic 83 flavour, but April Wine features heavily, plus Max Webster's "Diamonds, Diamonds". There's a lot of hair-characterization, which makes it feel a little like a Kids in the Hall sketch (Mark McKinney cameo). Kissably-cute Rossif Sutherland hasn't been to jail yet; Joe Anderson (crazy Russell from THE CRAZIES) is the twitchiest junkie. I liked Yates' prairie-noirish 7 TIMES LUCKY and his George F. Walker take NIAGARA MOTEL, too: maybe I ought to check out some of his Sci-Fi Channel creatures. "Just because you hit a guy and he dies doesn't mean you killed him." Pink.

                • Gas Pump Girls - Grease meets Six Swedes At A Pump with less sex and more singing. Really, really dumb, but pretty fun. I thought so at least.

                    One of the best and most artfully directed Japanese roman porno movies EVER...back when they knew how to make this stuff rather than the crappy, cheap DTV stuff they churn out now.....Your one line review sums it up nicely...ARGENTO directs Japanese roman porno movie...Right up there with ASSAULT JACK THE RIPPER and a few others

                    • Yeah, it's a good one for sure. One of the best from the line so far.

                      Last night? Mortuary. A fun little slasher with a cool cast. Bill Paxton is goofy in it. A few decent kills, a couple of okay jump scares, not much in the way of lasting atmosphere or anything but a fun time killer.

                      • Troma's War: Has it's moments. I think the big problem is that the two lead characters we're supposed to be routing for are unlikable douches. Has a lot of fun moments though, and I loved the Priest character and wished he was around longer.

                        An okay junk-food flick.

                        • Microwave Massacre: Has all of 2 good jokes that can get a chuckle. It's just a really good example of a comedy with just the wrong kind of actors with absolutely no sense of timing.

                          • Mother is a Whore by Korean enfant terrible director, writer cum actor, Lee Sang Woo. A very bleak, grim movie about a n'er do well son who pimps out his elderly mother to locals in his hometown.

                            • Mac and Me.

                              How have I lived this long without seeing this masterpiece? From now until probably the end of the week (or maybe Wednesday), I'll be savoring Coke in a can with a straw and my bag of Skittles, while I try to find that cool McDonald's where they have those spectacular dance contests! In a wheelchair, dammit!

                              • Step Brothers - this movie always cracks me up. It's corny and stupid and crass but how can you not laugh when Will Ferrell puts his balls on John C. Reilly's drum kit? PRESTIGE WORLDWIDE!
