Kiki’s Deliver Service in theaters a few days next week…

Sorry, I (really do honestly) try not to push my weird anime obsession here. Even so, I mean, c'mon, this isn't an anime classic, or an animation classic, it's just a movie classic. Ghibli made many, many great movies, but this is one of the best. Great for kids, obviously. Next Monday is the…

Monster of the Day #3238

Just as a reminder, because who knows it will last, but Amazon Prime currently has all the Gamera movies available for viewing. I LOVE the spinning flying Gamera thing, by the way. It's my favorite thing in the series. Happy Friday, everyone. Watch something stupid. In fact, watch something stupid with us tonight in…

Monster of the Day #3235

We haven't checked in with Amazon Prime for a while. Vincent Price, except for Dr. Phibes, didn't really do monster movies much. He and Corman's Poe films didn't have any--although Corman convinced AIP that "the house is the monster" when he pitched House of Usher to them. The one *cough* Poe film that has…

Monster of the Day #3234

So my old friend Jeff was in town last Friday and we watched the terrific Jack Hill flick Switchblade Sisters, and then Grabbers, which is basically Ireland's Tremors. Both are well worth a look. Happy (?) Monday, everyone. Watch Party on Friday.

Monster of the Day #3431

Warning: Woman in Red Dress might not actually be in this movie. Also, I know she looks pretty nonchalant. However, you know, she's used to dating Italian guys, so..... Have a great weekend, everyone. Watch something stupid. Watch Party next Friday.
