Lost and Found: Angel

In which a Hollywood high school hooker becomes ensnared in a serial killer’s reign of terror. For my money, Angel (1984) deserves a spot on the Mount Rushmore of “hookers in danger” films that were so prevalent in the 1980s. I’ve already extolled the virtues of another masterful example of this cherished genre, Streetwalkin’ (1985), … Continue reading Lost and Found: Angel →

Lost and Found: My Wife Goes Back to School

In which Italian sex symbol Carmen Russo puts the “erotica” in “commedia erotica all'italiana.” The commedia erotica all'italiana ("sex comedy Italian style") was a highly popular genre of Italian cinema during the 1970s–1980s. To say they are an acquired taste would be an understatement.

Favorite Film Posters: Stripped to Kill 2: Live Girls

The first of many posts celebrating my favorite film posters. As an artist and a cinephile, I’ve long been enamored with the art of the film poster. I was fortunate to grow up during a golden age for movie posters—the seventies, eighties, and into the nineties, when real, honest-to-goodness artists crafted 27x40 inch masterpieces to … Continue reading Favorite Film Posters: Stripped to Kill 2: Live Girls →

In which ours jaws drop and our eyes pop out of our heads, thanks to Phoebe Legere’s (NSFW) 1988 Playboy spread.
