THE BRIBE 1949 (WARNER ARCHIVE)

A great film noir gem!!

Robert Taylor stars as a private eye on the trail of a man who runs a war surplus racket from an Island off the Central American coast. This excellent film has all the ear marks of film noir including Vincent Price as a very suave criminal mastermind.

Charles Laughton is a sweaty wharf rat who run Price's errands. Then of course, there is Ava Gardner is a very, very sexy role as a young entertainer who is caught in the middle of all the intrigue. If you like film noir, you simply cannot go wrong with this movie. One of the best and Highly Recommended!!

HARVEY 1950 (UNIVERSAL)

An all time comedy classic!!

Jimmy Stewart stars in this all time classic comedy about a man named Elwood P. Dowd who has a 6'3" invisible rabbit as his friend and the trouble this causes with his sister and her daughter.

Josephine Hull is his sister and she won an Academy Award for her performance here. The rest of the cast includes Charles Drake, Jesse White, Cecil Kellaway, Wallace Ford, Victoria Horne and Peggy Dow.

This film is both very funny and incredibly touching and I wish they could make films like this now. Very Highly Recommended for any film buff and anyone who needs a good laugh now and then. Films simply don't come any better than this.

AMICUS HOUSE OF HORRORS 2012 (ALPHA)

A long and informative documentary.

This two disc documentary is about three hours long and goes very in depth into the history of the other major production house for movies in England during the 60's and 70's...Amicus.

They made some classic chillers such as Dr. Terror's House Of Horrors, Beast Must Die, Tales From The Crypt, Vault Of Horror and many more. This documentary talks with many people associated with the company over the years and they have some interesting tales to tell.

Two interviews with Peter Cushing are also included as extras, and they are both interesting and touching. Cushing was a one of a kind actor. If you like British horror films then you'll love this in depth story of Amicus. Highly Recommended!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO.....

Nastassja Kinski is 52, Neil Diamond is 72, and Haji is 67.

RIP MERRY ANDERS 1934-2012

Word has just reached me that Merry Anders, another of my favorite actresses of the 50's, 60's and 70's has passed away. She died 10/28/12 at the age of 80.

Anders starred in such classic films as "20,000 Eyes", "House Of The Damned", "Time Travelers", "Legacy Of Blood" and much more. She will be missed. No cause of death has been listed.

CODE TWO 1955 (WARNER ARCHIVE)

A rare film noir!!

Ralph Meeker, Robert Horton and Jeff Richards star as 3 young men who graduate from the police academy and finally end up on motorcycle duty. When Richards is killed by crooked truckers Meeker and Horton seek the killers.

Good pacing and a pretty good story make this a real winner. Keenan Wynn and James Craig are two senior officers who trained the men and Sally Forrest is Horton's wife, but the highlight for me is the very, very sexy Elaine Stewart as Richard's girlfriend. The woman always looks like a million bucks and here is no exception.

The rest of the cast is rounded out by William Campbell and Chuck Conners in very important roles which add to the plot. Warner Archive has turned out a gorgeous print. Recommended!!

DR. ORLOFF'S MONSTER 1964 (IMAGE)

Jess Franco strikes again!!

Early Jess Franco film about a mad scientist who turns a man into a robot killer and makes special necklaces for future victims to wear so the robotic killer can find them.

Aka "The Mistresses Of Dr. Jekyll", this film is thread bare on plot but you can see hints of the style Franco would later bring to his other films. The black and white photography is gorgeous and I will recommend this to any Franco fan. Image has released the uncut version with the usual nudity.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO....

Mariska Hargitay is 49, Tiffani Thiessen is 39, and Gil Gerard is 70.

SWAMP WOMEN 1956 (TREELINE)

Another Roger Corman gem.

Four women, three hardened criminals and an undercover policewoman escape from jail and head to the swamps of Louisiana to find some hidden diamonds. The criminals are Marie Windsor, Beverly Garland, and sexy Jil Jarmyn and the policewoman is played by Carole Matthews.

They kidnap and oil man and his girlfriend who is later eaten by an alligator. The man is played by Mike "Touch" Conners. This is a fun film and nothing to take very serious..just enjoy it as it does entertain. Garland is a very hot headed woman who decides to take the diamonds for herself.

The rest of the cast includes Ed Nelson and Jonathan Haze. Recommended!!

SAVAGE STREETS 1984 (SCORPION)

An 80's exploitation classic!!

Linda Blair looks sexy as hell as a young woman who seeks bloody vengeance on the four punks who raped and assaulted her mute sister played by Linnea Quigley, and killed her good friend. Linda uses knives, fire and a bow and arrow to kill the scum.

Linda looks damn sexy naked as well as in her skin tight black leather outfit she wears when killing. Damn, they just don't make movies like this anymore. John Vernon is the Principle of the high school Linda attends, and has some unforgettable lines.

This is a two disc set hosted by the gorgeous Katarina Leigh Waters as part of her "Kat Skratch Cinema" line. Lots of extras and just a hell of a good time. I do love Linda Blair and have found her to be one of the nicest people I probably will ever know. Highly Recommended!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO....

John Hurt is 73, and gorgeous Linda Blair is 54.

RIP MARLA ENGLISH 1934-2012

I have just been informed that one of my favorite actresses, Marla English has passed away at the age of 79 from cancer. She died on Dec. 12th.

Marla was always one of the most beautiful women I had ever seen in films and starred in such horror classic as "She Creature", "Voodoo Woman" and western gems as "Flesh And The Spur" and exploitation classics as "Runaway Daughters" and more.

I loved this woman in anything she ever did in films as her beauty was one of a kind. She retired from films after 1957 after she married and we film fans lost a true beauty. Marla will be missed and she of survived by her husband of 57 years.

MICK FOLEY: GREATEST HITS AND MISSES 2004 (WWE)

A two dvd set that no wrestling fan should be without.

Mick Foley AKA Cactus Jack and Mankind has always been known for his violent wrestling career, and now Mick is here to introduce you to some of his favorite matches from WCW, WWE, SMW, and ECW.

Mick gives you a behind the scenes perspective to each match that only makes them more interesting to watch. This set includes the all time classic "Hell In The Cell" match in Pittsburgh where Foley was massacred by The Undertaker in what some consider to be Foley's all time best match.

Highly Recommended!!.
