Monster of the Day #3378

Wait! What? What's happening here? Is that girl swinging on the bell for fun, being playfully pushed by her giant best friend? I mean...oh. Wait, there's a dialogue balloon. So...ah. I was way off. Good thing they wrote all that. Thank you, cover editor!   Having trouble with the thumbnail for some reason, so…

Say what you will about France, but man, they sure know how to make a stylish movie poster. OK, that might not be the best example.

Monster of the Day #3375

We've featured it before, but hey, maybe somebody hasn't watched it yet. If you haven't seen Sugar Hill, and you have an Amazon Prime account (or a few bucks to rent it there), check it out. I mean, it's not the greatest thing ever. But it's a very solid blaxploitation zombie movie that I…

Watch Party Mea Culpa / Next WP a week from Friday

First, my sincere apologies to everyone, but especially the Rev, who was hosting that night and put through a lot of stress due to my incompetence. Lesson(s) learned: Amazon not only drops movies overnight (well, duh), but they might only offer films for three or six months. Those Cannon martial arts movies hadn't been…

  I learned another bitter lesson on Friday about how quickly Amazon Prime drops movies. So for anyone who hasn't seen, Prime currently features both Blacula and Scream Blacula Scream (and, I think, Sugar Hill). So go over and watch those while they are still there.

It finally came out on Blu Ray, so I ended thing with the traditional giant monster movie: Yeti Giant of the 20th Century. It's...Italian. Very, very Italian. Watch Party tonight!

Monster of the Day #3372

  So after Them! Jeff showed Hell's Belles, a rather weird biker film (Jeff LOVES biker films) about a guy following a biker gang who's leader stole his motorcycle. It takes a while for everyone to escalate to killing, and the hero is at times a gigantic a-hole. Pretty good, and interestingly formless in…

Monster of the Day #3371

After Kaiju Mono, Chad R showed Used Cars, which he's been holding for a while. I hadn't seen it since the night it opened in theaters back in the day. (Remember when you used to go see movies all the time? Did we change, or did the movies?) It's pretty great. If you haven't…
