She Could Never Be That Guy’s Woman

In which Michelle Pfeiffer spreads ‘em for posterity. Last year, I highlighted a particularly funny and memorable scene in Amy Heckerling’s wonderful I Could Never Be Your Woman (2007), starring Our Queen and Savior, Michelle Pfeiffer. As I wrote then, Television writer Rosie (Pfeiffer) is stuck next to two condescending and judgmental studio executives while … Continue reading She Could Never Be That Guy’s Woman →

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 →

The curvaceous, green-eyed, and long-legged beauty was born in Rome and, like many Italian goddesses, had a fiery personality that only enhanced her appeal.

Hope springs eternal for awkward … Continue reading Hot Shots of the Week: Burton’s Babes →

Survivor: Dona Speir, Queen of Bullets, Bombs, and Babes

If you’re a certain type of B-movie lover, the name Andy Sidaris is synonymous with a series of sexy action films he made from 1985–1998, often referred to as a collective by the appropriately saucy sobriquet, “Bullets, Bombs, and Babes.” For years before his foray into making B-movies though, Sidaris was a legend in sports … Continue reading Survivor: Dona Speir, Queen of Bullets, Bombs, and Babes →

Don’t Mess with My Comfort Films

Recently, I fell down an internet rabbit hole about one of my favorite movies, Jonathan Demme’s Married to the Mob (1988). Featuring one of the most tender and exquisite performances of Michelle Pfeiffer’s career as former mob wife Angela de Marco, along with more stellar work from the entire cast and crew—Matthew Modine and Mercedes … Continue reading Don’t Mess with My Comfort Films →
