Li’l Abner (1959)
Apr 27, 2003Gonzo Comic-Strip Adaptation/Musical
A colorful and entertainingly absurd musical adaptation of Al Capp's popular satirically absurd comic-strip set in a parody of backwoods USA. Filled with some inspired nonsense
Stella Stevens
The Nutty Professor (1963)
Feb 27, 2003Personality Transformation Formula Comedy
Jerry Lewis is either a low him or hate him figure; whatever the case, one should give this, his best film, a chance ... It is Lewis offering his own comedic spin on the Jekyll/Hyde story, which contains a great performance on his part as he swings between a socially inept nerd and smooth lounge singer
The Silencers (1966)
Mar 10, 2003Spy Film
The first and probably the least worst in a series of James Bond copycat films starring Dean Martin as agent Matt Helm. Martin plays the part as a tipsy lounge lizard and the film comes stuffed with excruciating double entendres
The Mad Room (1969)
Oct 2, 2024Psycho Film
One among the spate of 1960s psycho films with Stella Stevens dealing with her brother and sister, one of whom is a killer
Arnold (1973)
Oct 21, 2020Old Dark House Comedy-Thriller
Comedy-thriller in the Old Dark House tradition with greedy relatives being bumped off in the fight for the will. A film that begins with a corpse getting married can't be all bad.
The Manitou (1978)
Feb 17, 2003Reincarnated Indian Medicine Man
The one moment of triumph from director William Girdler who takes a work that sits just on the threshold of schlock and transforms into something incredibly eerie with an injection of H.P. Lovecraft and American Indian mysticism
Monster in the Closet (1986)
Dec 8, 2016Monster Movie Parody
Monster movie parody that spoofs a number of classic films, including King Kong where it takes the title literally and the monster makes off with the hero giving the film a certain LGBT community relevance in its day. Contains quite an impressive cast list, including featuring both Paul Walker and singer Fergie as kids
Invisible Mom (1995)
Dec 6, 2002Invisible Housewife
B-budget director Fred Olen Ray makes an invisibility comedy with impoverished effects. Olen Ray's usual parade of bimbos and cynical one-liners is kept under restraint and this made as a children’s film
Star Hunter (1995)
Aug 17, 2002Alien Sportsman Hunts Human Game
An incredibly cheap ripoff of Predator (and even more so that film's real source The Most Dangerous Game) relocated to an urban area. Incredibly tatty and dull on all counts
Virtual Combat (1995)
May 5, 2001Virtual Characters Come to Life/Action
Completely ridiculous martial arts SF film with Don ‘The Dragon’ Wilson as a future cop fighting a videogame character incarnated in the real world
