Actors I Love, Part I
Contrary to the way it looks around here, I have been busy — busy clearing out all the half-finished drafts I’ve saved over the last *mumblemumble* years. This is one I started over two years ago when I first posted the Twenty Actors Meme. Once posted, I almost immediately realized I had forgotten several actors…
Escape from Fort Bravo (1953)
This post originally appeared on My Floating Red Couch for the Battle of the Fatheads between William Holden and Leonardo DiCaprio. Check out the entire battle for more! For the most part, Escape from Fort Bravo is a typical cowboys-and-Indians Western flick with little more to offer than guys in sharp blue uniforms battling against…
Damien: Omen II (1978)
This post originally appeared on My Floating Red Couch for the Holden vs. DiCaprio Grudgematch. Check out the Battle to see more! Oy, what a trudge this movie is, and from the beginning, might I add. It opens with Carl Bugenhagen (Leo McKern), a character from the previous film, breathlessly telling us the plot of…
The Green Slime (1968)
In many ways, The Green Slime (1968) is a straightforward sci-fi action flick that pits two similar men against each other in a familiar only-one-can-survive situation. Most people online and on the IMDb give this film such horrible ratings, which dismays me because… well, I guess because I don’t know what else they were expecting…
White Elephant Blogathon: Deadlier Than the Male (1967)
It’s April Fool’s Day, kids, and you know what that means: The White Elephant Blogathon! I missed last year, but my 2009 entry was the infamous “3 Ninjas: High Noon at Mega Mountain,” a post which still receives a concerning number of hits to this day. What are they looking for? The White Elephant is…
Raimifest #3: Army of Darkness (1992)
Keep checking Things That Don’t Suck for more Raimifest posts and contributors! All contributions have been excellent, without exception. Do yourself a favor and mosey over there today. “They’re small films with a small and twisted group of people that like them.” — Sam Raimi – “Humor is just another defense against the universe.” —…
Raimifest #2: Evil Dead II (1987)
Don’t forget to check out Things That Don’t Suck for a list of the excellent contributions thus far to Raimifest! “I love to charge up the audience. I feel the horror audience is a great audience, and I would ideally make a movie that would give them as much energy as they’re willing to give…
Raimifest #1: The Evil Dead (1981)
This is my first entry for Bryce’s epic Raimifest at Things That Don’t Suck. Check out the ‘fest as well as Bryce’s post on Sam Raimi’s early short “Within the Woods.” “…Rob [Tapert], myself and Bruce Campbell sat in hundreds of drive-ins…not hundreds, but tens of drive-ins, watching these movies and learning how they were…
Wigging Out: Shampoo (1975)
Take a good look at this poster. Nice poster, innit? Evocative, stylish, everyone looks lovely. There is just one problem: The hairstyles in the poster for Shampoo (1975) do not match what the actors sport in the film, not on any level. The only way I can cope with the earth-shattering failure of the hairstyles…
