Lost Highway

Look up the definition of “mind fuck” and you’re likely to see a picture of David Lynch’s Lost Highway (1997) next to it. No surprise, as the legendary filmmaker’s work has even inspired an adjective to describe this unique brand of mind fuckery (“Lynchian”), thanks especially to the television series Twin Peaks and films like … Continue reading Lost Highway →

Serleena Returns

One year ago today, I posted an ode to the Victoria’s Secret-inspired, voraciously hungry alien Serleena, played by Lara Flynn Boyle in 2002’s Men in Black II. It was just another entry in the Bad Girls We Love series which, somehow, against great odds, managed to snowball into the second most popular post here at … Continue reading Serleena Returns →

Astute followers of this blog will probably recall that I’ve never really written about Up Close and Personal, and there are reasons for that. … Continue reading Michelle Monday →

Behind the Scenes on The Howling

I’ve always told anyone who will listen that my affection for The Howling (1981) is unending. Directed by the cinematic wizard himself Joe Dante (Hollywood Boulevard, Gremlins, The ‘Burbs) from a script by indie legend John Sayles (Lianna, Eight Men Out, Lone Star), after radically altering a first draft by Terrence H. Winkless, The Howling … Continue reading Behind the Scenes on The Howling →

Lost and Found: Eve of Destruction

Starring sexy Dutch bombshell Renée Soutendijk and her stunningly chiseled cheekbones! Eve of Destruction (1991) tells the heartwarming tale of a smoking hot doppelgänger android with killer fashion sense. Implanted with her creator’s memories and dark fantasies, android Eve VIII rampages across the country, spraying uzi fire and leaving a trail of bodies in her … Continue reading Lost and Found: Eve of Destruction →
