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 →

Dr. Loomis and the Leggy Vampire Lover

Yoooo, check this out! Just when I thought the internet had revealed all there was to know about the world, this set of photos with two legendary horror actors surfaced and proceeded to blow my mind. Just a couple of icons, sharing coffee and some laughs. Amazing. Donald Pleasance made a lot of movies, horror … Continue reading Dr. Loomis and the Leggy Vampire Lover →

Bad Girls We Love: Suzanne from Night of the Demons

In which Scream Queen Linnea Quigley delivers one of her all-time best, and sexiest, performances. Our first glimpse of airhead sexpot Suzanne in the 1988 cult horror film Night of the Demons is of her bodacious backside.

Dangerous Minds at 30

I would say it’s a “guilty pleasure” but I don’t subscribe to … Continue reading Dangerous Minds at 30 →

In it, “Production Designer on The Fabulous Baker Boys, Jeffrey Townsend reveals how the film's iconic Making Whoopee scene started out as a single page of the script and wrapped as a timeless one-shot classic.” As you might imagine, … Continue reading Keep an Eye on the Slit →

Lost and Found: Private Resort

In which we visit the raucous Private Resort for one last fling before summer ends. Teen sex comedy Private Resort (1985) was a late eighties cable television staple, which explains why I watched it approximately one-hundred times during those years. Those years, by the way, coincided with my junior high school years, and rarely has … Continue reading Lost and Found: Private Resort →

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 →
