Completely lost for 50 years before being unearthed, Rat Fink is much more sleazy, nasty, and unintentionally hilarious than you can imagine. It’s not drive-in gold – it’s platinum!
Canada produced a whole bunch of painfully unfunny sex comedies in the VHS era, Loose Screws being just one egregious example.
Perhaps appearing in substandard movies like Black Moon Rising before his superstardom helped make Tommy Lee Jones the cranky and hostile person that has been reported repeatedly.
Before he became a funny B movie monkey, actor Cameron Mitchell showed in movies like Monkey On My Back that he had solid dramatic acting chops.
Oil and water don’t mix, and neither do Hanna-Barbera and American-International Pictures, with their collaboration C.H.O.M.P.S. being extremely painful proof of this.…but for some reason I was having a hard time logging in to post them. Oh well– everything seems to be working fine now.
Halloween (2007), in which Rob Zombie isn’t the worst thing to happen to the franchise, but the movie would have been so much better if it were free to be something other than a Halloween remake…
The Pack (1978), in which the Jaws-knockoff formula gets an interesting twist from using a species that usually gets along very well with humans as the threat…
Total Recall (1990), which is simultaneously Paul Verhoeven’s last really good Hollywood movie, and a signpost pointing the way to Hollow Man and Showgirls…
and…
Vanessa (1977), in which it isn’t just your imagination– there really wasn’t a script, strictly speaking.
El Santo rules the wasteland-- and also 1000 Misspent Hours and Counting.

It’s odd that the sequel to the 1983 Lou Ferrigno Hercules film, The Adventures Of Hercules, is somewhat obscure, when it delivers just as many unintended laughs as the first entry.
There are some big laughs, as well as spirited performances, to be found in the disaster movie spoof The Big Bus. Just not quite enough.
The horror movie Death Bed: The Bed That Eats is one of those movies about a bed that, well, eats.You are currently browsing the archives for the New Reviews category.
