... was a question posed by an emailer to some dingbat CNN panelist as I passed through the lobby of the building where I work where, for some inscrutable reason, we have a plasma TV broadcasting CNN. The answer to this can be seen from any number of highly reputable sources, including Roger Corman films and the recent documentaries on superheroes like the Fantastic Four, Iron Man and the Not-Quite-So-Spectacular...
I take films very seriously, much more than politics, on which, I believe, you can often find agreement (I mean democratic, non-violent, non-sectarian politics). With films you cannot. There’s art and there’s trash, that’s all!Recently, I’ve heard a couple of guys talking enthusiastically about , a most unmemorable film. was somehow similar and in no way better.Nevertheless, the films left a distinctive...
The premise of T.N.T. Jackson is simple. If blaxploitation movies are fun, and king fu movies are fun, then a blaxploitation king fu movie has to be a sure-fire winner. And, in its own trashy way,...
Actually they only did three 90 minute episdoes. And it went to Sunday nights for most of its run. I'd still like to own that first season, Cyborg:The Six Million Dollar Man Wine,Women and War (with Eric Braeden, the notorious Doctor Hasslein from Escape from the Planet of the Apes) The Solid Gold Kidnapping The first ep of the series was very Andromeda Strain like, with a towns population getting...

Pacific Standard Time, rhob1960@yahoo.com writes: Martin Caidin was the author of Cyborg, the book that became the basis (and took a lot from it for the pilot) for the Six Million Dollar Man. Anyone other than me remember when it was on saturday's at 90 minutes an ep? And it was far more adult oriented? Steve was like james bond with bionics. > > Back in the...
Roger Cormans 1957 opus Teenage Doll is fairly typical of low-budget 50s juvenile delinquent movies. Barbara is a good girl involved with a bad boy, the leader of a teen gang called the Vandals. Hes...
This week in Big Directors Small Films, we take a look at the first film from the master filmmaker behind Titanic, True Lies, Terminator, T2, The Abyss and Aliens. Before he pushed the boundaries in Hollywood, James Cameron made a short film titled Xenogenesis. After seeing Star Wars in 1977, Cameron quit his job as [...]
Kent Nichols has a nice post today regarding the movie Ballast and its Sundance Best Directing winner Lance Hammer walking away from distribution deals to do-it-himself. He links to the interview Hammer did for KCRW on his choice to go it alone. Kent Nichols also discusses Roger Corman's model (somewhat sideways in my estimation) and I think some of the figures he uses are wrong. It all depends on...

The Howling (1981) - Joe Dante [Amazon.com] [FR] [DE] [UK] I woke up yesterday night bathing in sweat. I get up. I look outside, full moon. That explains. My inner werewolf was trying to get out. So I give you Joe Dante’s The Howling, IMNHO the best werewolf film since WWII. Dante [...]
Recommended Creature From The Haunted Sea: A notorious cheapie knocked out almost as a freebie after Roger Corman had finished two other films in the tropics, Creature From The Haunted Sea shows its roots like a two-month-old-bleach-job. Folks, this is what two locations, some free time in Puerto Rico, and three bucks worth of green yarn will get you! It's really just gravy that the movie's actually...

In September, when DVD Talk reviewer King Stuart Elderberry Galbraith IV gave Cinematic Titanic’s The Wasp Woman a surprisingly vicious, scathing review, most of us reacted with appropriate rage. However, after spending some time with the crew’s take on Roger Corman’s 1959 snoozer, I have to admit that I’m not nearly as offended by Galbraith’s [...]
