Lost at sea

There is little in The Sea Gypsies to differentiate it from the plethora of other mediocre wilderness-oriented family movies of the 1970s.Keith Bailey is the proprietor of The Unknown Movies Page.
Too much, really, as it happened. One of the movies I planned to review for this update had to get kicked back into next month’s update so that I could keep all these tangly-ass mysteries about black-gloved killers straight enough to write about them!
The Bird with the Crystal Plumage (1970), in which Dario Argento more or less singlehandedly convinces people outside of West Germany to care about gialli at long last…
The Cat o’ Nine Tails (1971), in which Argento really earns his nickname as the Italian Hitchcock…
Gently Before She Dies (1972), in which I acquire a new favorite riff on “The Black Cat,” but still can’t bring myself to type Your Vice Is a Locked Room, and Only I Have the Key over and over again…
and…
A Lizard in a Woman’s Skin (1971), in which Lucio Fulci, of all people, proves that a giallo can be full of arresting, irrational imagery and still make solid, logical sense for the most part.
El Santo rules the wasteland-- and also 1000 Misspent Hours and Counting.
Most people would understandably find Beyond The Poseidon Adventure to be a bad movie. However, I think it would be passable for certain people in certain situations.Keith Bailey is the proprietor of The Unknown Movies Page.
The horror anthology After Midnight makes two fatal mistakes; not having enough horror, and not really delivering when it comes to twists at the end of its stories.Keith Bailey is the proprietor of The Unknown Movies Page.

If I gave ratings to the movie reviews on my website, the Peter Bogdanovich movie Illegally Yours would get a “zero”. Or “no stars”. Or an “F”. Or… you get the idea.Keith Bailey is the proprietor of The Unknown Movies Page.
As Nasty as I Wanna Be
Sep 29
Once again, Juniper spent the last few weeks of summer visiting family in the cool and verdant mountains, rather than sticking out the “Hell’s front porch” phase of the season here in the Chesapeake tidewater. So here’s another update heavily freighted with reviews of films she’d rather not think about (plus a couple less loathsome things we watched together after she got back):
Candyman (1992), in which some urban legends really are true, even when they really are just legends…
Entrails of a Virgin (1986), in which there are plenty of entrails, but precious few virgins to be found…
Grotesque (1988), in which you get three movies for the price of one, plus the disembodied conclusions to two more as a bonus…
The Killer Snakes (1974), in which the Shaw Brothers do Willard, and no animals weren’t harmed during the production of this film…
and…
The Saga of the Viking Women and Their Voyage to the Waters of the Great Sea Serpent (1957), in which it takes almost long to type the title as it does to watch the movie.
El Santo rules the wasteland-- and also 1000 Misspent Hours and Counting.

Lee Van Cleef definitely adds a lot of life to the spaghetti western The Grand Duel, and so does a script that adds a strong and atypical mystery angle.Keith Bailey is the proprietor of The Unknown Movies Page.

While it makes a noble attempt to be a different kind of sci-fi movie on a limited budget, the Australian movie Astro Loco ultimately doesn’t successfully reach its goals.Keith Bailey is the proprietor of The Unknown Movies Page.

The docudrama After Diff’rent Strokes: When The Laughter Stopped is incompetent, tasteless, sleazy, and cruel. In other words, I loved it a lot.Keith Bailey is the proprietor of The Unknown Movies Page.
