Film and TV

I admit to absolutely loving Elvira: Mistress of the Dark. I know in this day and age it would be seen as sexist and somewhat misogynistic, but it was made in a time when it was a joy to see a beautiful sassy woman twirl nipple tassels as a finale to the story.

A man covered in gore is running through a dark forest at night….. he’s panicked and rings his friend Chuck (Alyson Hannigan) for help – only she’s hundreds of miles away in a nerd shop.

The Island is about a savage group of pirates, including Dudley Sutton and Don Henderson. Old school.

I suppose the ‘Coen’ influence is strong in this film – but it misses the mark.

This is yet again, another worthwhile releases from Powerhouse Films. No other company releases truly great older films, ones we certainly would never have the chance of seeing or enjoying.

The Lady is Willing stars Marlene Dietrich; yes you can hear her sing now can’t you? Or is it…. Madeleine Kahn in Blazing Saddles? (best impersonation ever).

Give yourself a treat, give in to B&W musicals.

A really enjoyable tale of love and redemption.

A very interesting and enjoyable collection of Michael Powell’s early works which look fantastic on this blu-ray release.

This is not a horror anthology like Creepshow or Tales from the Crypt, this has every intention of trying to rip your eyeballs out of their sockets as you watch and leave your brain spinning as more bizarre visuals and situations are thrown in front of you with a bloody splat.
