In the years before Jack Sparrow took over the multiplex every other summer and adorned everything from cereal boxes to alarm clocks, a Johnny Depp movie was something to behold. This quirky loner who refused to conform to Hollywood standards could be counted upon to deliver an intriguing performance...
When The Devil’s Advocate first came to video in the late nineties, my co-workers at a tiny independent video store literally fought over who got to keep the screener. Yes, a VHS screener that periodically ran the words “property of Warner Home Video” right over pivotal scenes and threatened...
I first saw Lethal Weapon when I was twelve. It was edited for television and even so, it rocked my world. Mel Gibson’s sheer unstoppable hotness coupled with all that badass action left me helpless. It was all I could think about for months: I would obsessively replay the...
Somewhere in the borderland between Mind-Bendingly Awesome and Flat-Out Terrible lies a world in which Lancelot Link: Secret Chimp exists. This strange series aired on Saturday Mornings from 1970-1972, though I’ve never heard anyone mention watching it ever. And if you were among the many who never watched it,...
Like all animated films of the 1980s, Hanna Barbera’s Heidi’s Song is a striking blend of adorable idyllic adventures and mind-bending psychedelia. I can only think that a generation of animators who experimented heavily with hallucinogens came into their own during this era, because tripped-out dream sequences were more...
In my head Hard To Kill is the ultimate Steven Seagal movie. It was only his second major film, so we didn’t yet know that his movies were about to become A Thing. We didn’t realize that he would deliver the same soft-spoken bad assery in movie after forgettable...
In my humble opinion, Deadly Friend is the ultimate late-night movie. Seriously, how can you go wrong with a Wes Craven film starring Matthew Labyorteaux (Albert from Little House!), Kristy Swanson, Anne Ramsey (Mama Fratelli!!), and a demented robot?! Admittedly, it might look a little worse in the daylight....
Imagine a sinister research institute was purposely putting normal, vital people into comas for their own nefarious reasons. You go in for a simple surgical procedure and the next thing you know you’re a vegetable. Or maybe, just maybe, you throw on a circa 1978 Michael Douglas/Genevieve Bujold vehicle...
For years I’ve wondered why no one has anything good to say about Natalie Wood’s notorious final film, Brainstorm. What exactly, I wondered, was wrong with it? Was it simply that it was sloppily finished due to her untimely demise? Did audiences somehow blame the movie for creating the...
When escaped convict Butch Haynes (Kevin Costner) plucks Buzz Perry (T.J. Lowther) from his idyllic life, this sweet, wide-eyed little boy soon becomes attached to his captor. After all, this gruff, hardened criminal has a softer side. He does arm flips with the boy and wants him to celebrate...
There are exactly two good things about 9 1/2 Weeks: its soundtrack and Kim Basinger’s smokin’ hot bod. Oh, and Mickey Rourke still has his face, so that’s pretty fascinating, but beyond that there’s not much to recommend it. It’s all sex and mind games and one dumb blonde...
With a presidential election upon us and the Republican National Convention just behind us, Ronald Reagan’s Wisdom for the Twenty-First Century seems like a timely and relevant book. Regardless of your party affiliation, Mr. Reagan is also something of a pop culture icon, remembered as much for his Hollywood...
