Jackie Gleason On LSD

Skidoo (1968) Film Review

Jackie Gleason, Carol Channing, Frankie Avalon, Cesar Romero, Mickey Rooney, and Groucho Marx are all in this film and man does it get weird. This was the last film that Groucho Marx made; he died in 1977. Jackie Gleason plays Tony Banks an ex-gangster who is pulled back into the business by God who is played by the wonderful Groucho Marx, to kill George “Blue Chips” Packard played by Mickey Rooney… Read More

Bava & Argento Team Up

Demons (1985) Film Review

I t was 1985. Music was going strong on MTV and POP-Culture was King. 1985 was also the year for Demons. Well for some of us anyway. This was one of the many Italian gore flicks that came upon us, that were all a bit cheesy but had us all by their fantastic special make up effects. I don’t know what it was, but when Argento, Bava, Fulci would make those gory scenes, they really knew how to go to extremes. In other words, they knew to go for the gold! You know what, it worked…Read More

Zapped! (1982) Film Review

70’s teen-heartthrob scene and for us guys, Heather Thomas in one of her first film roles! Heather Thomas did in fact refuse to do the nude-scenes for this film, opting for a similar-proportioned female “body double” for the nude scenes but later complained when a still-shot emerged with her head superimposed on the other chick’s topless body, implying Heather Thomas actually did the nude-scene when she did not!…Read More

Vampires And Other Stereotypes (1994) Film Review

To quote Tom Atkins from Creepshow, “I never saw such rotten crap in my life”. This movie is about four people that thought they were going to a party in an old warehouse but instead run into trouble with two monster hunters. The sound, directing, and acting are just a few things wrong with this movie. First off, the sound is horrible. Sometimes the sound is low and is hardly audible and then there are times where the sound is way too loud….Read More

Burial Ground (1981) Film Review

There are bad dreams, intimating the unsettling, digging well into the shadowed recesses of guilt, denial and secret fears long suppressed. And then there are nightmares… the blackest regions of the subconscious mind, the only place where we race not only for our lives, but for our sanity…Read More

Brian Wilson: Songwriter (2010) Film Review

I’m still waiting for a new documentary, about the making of such under-rated, now – in recent years re-discovered Beach Boy classic albums such as, Friends, Sunflower, Surf’s Up, Holland, and Love You. I’m waiting for a definitive documentary about Brian’s controversial time with now-defunct pyschotherapist, Dr. Eugene Landy. Where’s the documentary, just about the three Wilson brothers?…Read More
