I feel like Terminator Vault:The Complete Story Behind the Making of The Terminator and Terminator II: Judgment Day is as enjoyable to movie fans as it is to people who like books with pockets. You know the kind I mean – those awesome coffee table numbers with little wax...
At best, books about movies feel like a dialogue between reader and writer. Obviously the conversation can’t happen in real time, but as you read along, there should be a fair amount of, “You’ve seen that too? What did you think? What about this one? Really?!” And the writer...
When making a direct-to-video Steven Seagal film, it’s probably best to have a really simple good vs. evil plot that people can follow. That’s kind of a good rule of thumb for any movie, but when expectations are already low, you don’t want to put any hurdles in front...
Like an idiot, I was lured by the curious title of Jayne Mansfield’s Car. There’s something about it that makes you look twice, like rubbernecking at a car accident or a celebrity you unexpectedly pass on the street….or a car accident involving a celebrity. In any case, Jayne Mansfield’s...
101 Dalmatians is what I consider to be one of Disney’s Dodgy Classics. It’s cute and familiar, but it doesn’t have the substance of the Classic Classics, which offer up catchy songs, complex characters, and memorable storylines. Having said that, the Platinum Edition of any Disney film is definitely...
I remember kind of loving Ten Things I Hate About You when I first saw it in college. I was just the right age to appreciate the film, and somehow everything worked. Ten years later, I wasn’t so sure I wanted to go back. It seemed like it might...
I swear, sometimes it seems like I have powers. This summer I developed the sudden and uncontrollable urge to watch Cry-Baby. I hadn’t seen it in over a decade, and I kind of wanted to buy it, but I wasn’t quite sure if it would be as good as...
Heat begins with a love scene between Al Pacino and Diane Venora so steamy that it makes me weak in the knees just to think about it. I can’t believe she got paid to be kissed like that by him! Vincent Hanna (Pacino) is not only a good kisser,...
Basically any movie you’d find on television on a random Sunday afternoon or late, late at night feels like a Roger Corman movie. It follows, then, that Roger Corman’s Horror Classics Volume 1 is kind of the perfect thing to throw on when you want some bad movie action....
If you grew up in the 70s and 80s, your worldview was probably significantly shaped by Michael Landon. Most likely you have a soft spot for a good prairie story, even though it’s been years since Little House was on the air. Thankfully, Michael Landon Jr. is still carrying...
The movie begins with the Manzoni family relocating to a small town in France through the Witness Protection Program. They’re all a bit bored and jaded, and it’s clear that their mafia ties have made these moves a familiar occurrence. They adopt their new identities with an eye-rolling sense...
Big is an iconic movie for anyone who grew up in the 80s. You can’t eat a piece of baby corn without imagining Tom Hanks nibbling it daintily like a miniature corn on the cob. You can’t eat a gross hors d’oeuvre without imagining him subtly gag-spitting caviar out...
