The Favorite Films Of Stanley Kubrick
Stanley Kubrick produced a mere 12 films in 50 years. He was quite possibly the only filmmaker in motion picture history, to be able to function, always, on his own terms. The following is a list of some Kubrick's favorite films. The list was given to the public in 2002, by his daughter, Anya Kubrick...Read More
More Funky Than James Brown

More…More…More!
For any diehard movie fan who watched films in theaters or at home over the past 20+ years, I daresay nearly every one of them has actors/actresses they’d seen and liked on screen but never saw enough of (or not at all) later on as time went by! I have a list of Hollywood Actresses that I would surely have enjoyed seeing more of after the first time, but what got in the way of that was one or two of the following reasons…Read More
Viva La Straight Razor! – New Wave French Horror
This new wave of French horror that’s been knocking the socks off of horror fanatics is nothing short of amazing. It’s brilliantly brutal, bloodsoaked and gore-filled and nearly bursts at the seems with artistic merit and originality. I want to take a closer look at some of the more popular French films such as Martyrs, Inside, High Tension, Irreversible, Frontiere(s)...Read More
Are You Ready For The Summer?
As a kid, it's pure fantasy. I've had dozens of wonderful friends in my life, and I've never known anyone that went to a summer camp. So for me, it was the fantasy of going to summer camp, creating that perfect summer for yourself, spending unforgettable times with your friends, or meeting that one summer girl and falling in love for those 2 or 3 months, waiting out each day just to see if you could hold her hand…Read More

Golden Boy
The Dan Golden Interview
Dan has created some of most visually interesting B films of all time. Dan directed such B classics as, Naked Obsession, Saturday Night Special, the Corman remake of – The Haunted Sea, and the greatest B film of all time, Stripteaser. Tragically, Dan hasn’t received the accolades he rightfully deserves. And we here at the Mondo Film & Video Guide think it’s about time he did…Read More
Lunatic On The Grass
Josh Becker Interview
I’ve been a film geek as long as I can remember. It started for me with cartoons. I think I was 5 years old. I made my parents teach me how to tell time, so I could get up to watch all the Saturday morning cartoons. In fact, I loved all the Warner Brothers cartoons, and those took me into Warner Brothers movies. I was watching them all, the Humphrey Bogart, Lauren Bacall movies, and all…Read More

Worst Films Of All Time – September 2010
Fireproof (2008)
Kirk Cameron has been pushing his religion on movie goers for…TV twenty years ago, actually getting actress Julie McCullough fired from that show because he personally objected to her having posed nude in Playboy back in 1986. I give this film the golden thumbs-down award as Mondo’s Worst Film of 2008 with a middle-finger salute to Kirk Cameron…Read More
Dont Upstage Me Bro
“Pop Up” Characters In Film
Having read about many an on-set scuffle between a “leading actor” and an actor with a “secondary” role on movie sets, suffice it to say it gets about as heated as a bad toss in a baseball game when it comes to an actor or actress seeing their secondary counterparts “stealing” a scene or “upstaging” them as the cameras roll! Alas, the “limelight” does…Read More
Emilio Lizardo, You Say?
John Lithgow, the actor’s split and Raising Cane
Raising Cain is obviously De Palma’s nod to Psycho, go ahead, count the allusions. I feel like De Palma just stole the wig straight from the Hitchcock vault. But rather than using the twist of who is the killer, De Palma reveals why he kills in a psychological thriller with a flair of Miramax independent film…Read More
Movies That Changed My Life – September 2010
The Last American Virgin
It’s a feeling that you don’t wanna let go. I suppose this is the basis for why I love movies. In theory, it’s just weird. How can a film go from mindless slapstick, to this steaming stream of emotion and heartbreak? In reality, that’s the essence of life. So like like, The Last American Virgin is a cinematic curveball…Read More

She goes on to do these reenactments for other police stations in the city and eventually gets a role on a soap opera. Ting soon becomes interested in the case of Meen, a former Miss Thailand who is missing and believed dead…Read More
Boobs Please!
#1 Cheerleader Camp (2010)
It also reminds me of the silly sex-comedies of yore, the ones we all grew up with. Maybe I had my expectations set too low and am giving this too much credit, but I had a blast and wasn’t even high when I first watched it. Second viewing after a few tokes is still funny. Your individual experience may vary. I am going to give this one the highest honor possible for me; I’m going to keep it! Surely an Asylum flick in my collection is a sign of the apocalypse, and all that 2012 shit is sounding more and more likely. So check this out before the world ends, and go out with a smile and a boner!…Read More
Superior Remake?
The Crazies (2010) Review
Not to be confused with the 1973 movie The Crazies by George A. Romero, but this is a lovely remake of that film. With a tag line of “Fear thy Neighbor” and a hot cast, this movie was a must see for me. Mainly because of Timothy Olyphant, who plays the town sheriff, David Dutten. The movie has a dark tone, with eerie music and great casting among the townsfolk who have gone “crazy”…Read More
A New Look At Dick Van Dyke
The Morning After (1974) Review
You ever tie one on real tight and wake up the next morning wondering “how many bridges did I burn last night?”, “do I still have a job?” or “did I or did I not punch out the wifey in some strange parking lot?” Well, if you have, you might want to see a lawyer (or a priest) or find a copy of this long since forgotten ABC movie of the week from 1974, starring Dick Van Dyke….Read More
A Real Sinker
Titanic II (2010) Review
First off, if you’ve been living under a rock outside the video store, you may not have heard of The Asylum. They are a budget DVD company, and by all means are a modern day Roger Corman operation. They make no excuses about their “tie-ins” (others call them “mockbusters” or dupes) and usually try to capitalize on big studio movies, releasing similarly…Read More
