Michelle Monday

I borrowed the screenshots below from my pal Paul’s blog. A while back he posted them in celebration of a memorable scene from one of my favorite hidden gem Michelle Pfeiffer pfilms, I Could Never Be Your Woman (2007).

For all … Continue reading Lost and Found: Gas Pump Girls →

Giallogy: Blue Eyes of the Broken Doll

A rare Spanish entry in the giallo genre, Blue Eyes of the Broken Doll (1973) begins with a drifter ex-con finding work at the remote mountain estate of three very different, yet equally eccentric sisters. Then the dead bodies start piling up around town. Beautiful, blue-eyed village women are being murdered, their eyeballs carved out … Continue reading Giallogy: Blue Eyes of the Broken Doll →
