Monica Monday

Well, the work week just got off to an above average start. Grazie, Monica. Monica Bellucci, photographed by Eileen Von Unwerth, 1996.

Lost and Found: Slashdance

Based on the rad poster and VHS art for Slashdance (1989), you’d expect a deliciously raunchy slasher, right? The poster promises underboob that the movie never delivers! Dammit! Well, you’d be sorely disappointed. I was. The actual movie itself is an amateurish snooze, with barely any slashing or actual dancing. Sure, we spend most of … Continue reading Lost and Found: Slashdance →

Giallogy: Amuck!

Beautiful blonde Barbara Bouchet runs Amuck! in a novelist’s Venetian din of inequity, while trying to solve her lesbian lover’s disappearance!

It must be the juxtaposition of Huxtable’s startling … Continue reading Hot Shots of the Week: Dangerous Beauty →

Lost and Found: Pets

Well, now. Boy howdy, what a movie! Okay, so I recently watched Pets (1973) for the first time and, wow, it’s bizarre. Probably because it feels like three increasingly disturbing vignettes strung together to form a strange, road-trip-style movie. This disarming oddness is part of what makes it a memorably strange cult film. However, the … Continue reading Lost and Found: Pets →

Random Image Dump #19: Drop Dead Legs

A lot can be forgiven if a woman has a great set of legs. Tarryn Fisher, novelist Let’s not waste any time, and just get on with the forgiving, shall we? She is absolutely, positively forgiven. Forever. Danish actress Kirsten Lindholm strikes an interesting pose in this promo image made around 1970. Acting under her … Continue reading Random Image Dump #19: Drop Dead Legs →
