Year: 2023

Boy, if it's not one damned thing it's another. So Friday we watched Chatterbox, the talking va-jay-jay movie. Ah, the '70s. Yes, it's on Amazon Prime. We had one person decamp, and I apologize and certainly understand. Most everyone liked it, though, generally. Amiable and weird is a decent combination to base your film…

Ran out of worms? Have a great weekend, everyone. Watch something stupid. In fact, watch something stupid with us tonight at our Watch Party.

Godzilla 2000 back in theaters tonight for Godzilla Day. Not the greatest G film.  Orga being highly generic and forgettable is probably the biggest issue. Still, it's the film that introduced Millennium Godzilla, who after millions of kids' drawings was finally green,  with those nice giant purple spines. I really did like the introduction…

Happy Halloween, everyone!

So we were down to the last two movies. We've taken to showing a classic film at each fest. We'd already showed Alice in Wonderland, but that was more a curiosity.  So I showed one of my favorite films (and my second favorite William Powell film) The Thin Man. To my relief, everyone really…

Sandy wanted to watch something from his complete set of Al Adamson movies (seriously, that's a thing, and might well be the most comprehensive blu ray set dedicated to any single director). To limit the damage I suggested Blood of the Horror Mons...wait...Monsters of the Blood Horr...no...Horror of the Blood Monsters? Yes, I think…

Second up was Hapkido, an Angelo Mao martial arts dealie where her two costars were a young Sammo Hung and Carter Wong. How's that for an all-star cast? It was pretty great. The small boutique blu ray companies (Arrow, Shout Factory, etc.) have been flooding the market lately with wonderful sets and/or special editions…
