What’s been going on at our sister site, Flick Attack, “hitting you with one random movie a day … whether you like it or not”? Here’s what you’ve missed:
• CHILDREN OF THE CORN: GENESIS. Warning: Billy Drago!
• Nick “drunkenly and good-naturedly suffering the company of hepcats” in SONG OF THE THIN MAN.
• CLASS OF 1984, “which has nothing to do with George Orwell’s book, but everything to do with all things awesome.”
• With “boobs, boners and buckets of blood,” H.G. Lewis returns with THE UH-OH SHOW!
• SATAN’S LITTLE HELPER, which “holds mega-potential for annual October viewing.”
• Bela Lugosi and The East Side Kids meet in GHOSTS ON THE LOOSE, “virtually laughless, but also utterly harmless.”
• POLTERGEIST II, a sequel that’s “full of manure.”
• 1955′s THE FAST AND THE FURIOUS, a Roger Corman effort that “should be called THE RELAXED AND THE REAR-PROJECTED.”
• THE CORE, the only disaster movie to reference “XENA: WARRIOR PRINCESS and Hot Pockets.”
• The obscure ’70s soul musical TRAIN RIDE TO HOLLYWOOD, complete with a couple of songs “as catchy as herpes.”
• 1934′s MANIAC has cat-eye eating: “Why, it’s not unlike an oyster … or a grape!”
• “The budget only allows for a grampa mask” in the post-apocalyptic IN THE YEAR 2889.
• BLACK MOON RISING features “cranky-puss Tommy Lee Jones climbing through air shafts and doing donuts.”
• BLIND RAGE is “an oddball crime film that assembles a multicultural quintet who can’t see for shit.”
• The infamous THE TOOLBOX MURDERS is the kind of movie “where lovely ladies undulate in their underthings at night in front of open windows, as if inviting pervo-psycho killers with a True Value rewards card.”
• Where was Jayne Mansfield’s head at when she made SINGLE ROOM FURNISHED?
• Japan’s THE HYPNOTIST has something to do with “green monkeys.” We’re still trying to figure it out.
• THE HOUSE ON SKULL MOUNTAIN has it all: “stylistic horror, blaxploitation, Victor French with a porn ’stache.”
• Dom DeLuise’s directorial debut, HOT STUFF, which we watched “based purely on its leggy illustration of Suzanne Pleshette.”
• 10 VIOLENT WOMEN, where “the sex is as gratuitous as the disco music and Ted V. Mikels’ chest hair.”
• Chuck Norris vs. the big guy from SUPERMAN II in HERO AND THE TERROR.
• “A misogynist maniac on a mission” — that’s the medical horror of VISITING HOURS.
• A character from ALTERED STATES says it best: “Kabbalistic, quantum, friggin’ dumb, limbo mumbo-jumbo!”
