Lost and Found: There’s Nothing Out There

In which spring breaking college kids—including a bikini babe hall of fame final girl—fight off an alien attack at a remote cabin in the woods. Many have claimed that Rolfe Kanefsky’s 1991 horror comedy There’s Nothing Out There is the first movie to feature the now-trope of the self-aware horror-watching nerd character. Yes, years before … Continue reading Lost and Found: There’s Nothing Out There →

Full Moon Pfever

I’ve got a pfever, and the only prescription is more Pfeiffer. In honor of tonight’s full harvest moon glowing orange in the night sky, I’m watching Wolf (1994) again for the umpteenth time. An annual October watch for me, Wolf is obviously also tailor-made for full moon viewing. You’ve heard of full moon fever? Well, … Continue reading Full Moon Pfever →

Damn, Pam! Part 2

Back in August, we exclaimed “Damn, Pam!” This is a phrase we shout quite often because, well, because this: I mean, how do you ever get used to Pamela Anderson’s jaw dropping sex appeal? You don’t, which is why we tend to blurt out “Damn, Pam!” every time we see her. And that’s why we’re … Continue reading Damn, Pam! Part 2 →

Marg-nificent

In which we slobber all over the underrated and eminently crush-worthy Marg Helgenberger. I watched the entertaining creature feature Species (1995) again recently, and for the first time since seeing it in theaters thirty years ago. While the stunning star of the film, Natasha Henstridge, is an absolute smoke show, and I gleefully spent the … Continue reading Marg-nificent →

Bad Girls We Love: Regina “Reggie” Holland in Silk Stalkings

In which actress (and total smoke show) Carol Huston steals our hearts in a memorably sexy guest spot on a beloved nineties television series. If I could travel back in time to 1992, I'd tell my teenage self that he'd still be obsessing over this woman thirty-odd years later, and he'd reply, "Well, DUH! Of … Continue reading Bad Girls We Love: Regina “Reggie” Holland in Silk Stalkings →

Dangerous Minds at 30

Just over five years ago I wrote about Michelle Pfeiffer’s 1995 teacher drama Dangerous Minds, on the occasion of the movie’s twenty-fifth anniversary. In that post, I shared how, despite the movie’s many flaws, it has always been a comfort watch for me. I would say it’s a “guilty pleasure” but I don’t subscribe to … Continue reading Dangerous Minds at 30 →

Hot Shots of the Week: Pamela D’Pella is Uncaged

One of my favorite gritty pimps-and-whores exploitation movies from the heyday of gritty pimps-and-whores exploitation movies would have to be Uncaged (1991), also known as Angel in Red. The Roger Corman-produced thriller is actually a pretty faithful remake of an earlier Corman production that I’ve waxed on about here before, Streetwalkin’ (1984). While the original … Continue reading Hot Shots of the Week: Pamela D’Pella is Uncaged →
