Who's a girl gotta suck around here to get a drink? Thirty years ago this fall, raven-haired beauty Linda Fiorentino gifted us with one of the great femme fatales of all time in John Dahl’s excellent neo-noir The Last Seduction (1994). Bridget Gregory is iconic, a deliciously manipulative grifter with a sardonic streak. She’s cold … Continue reading Bad Girls We Love: Bridget Gregory in The Last Seduction

Lost and Found: Doom Asylum
First, a quick note: this review was written to evoke the delightfully lowbrow spirit of freewheeling fun from late night, cult movie show hosts (thank you, Elvira, Rhonda, and Joe Bob!) and glorious B-movie sites ( thank you, B-Movie Enema and House of Self Indulgence, to name just two!).

And when Rhonda Shear hosted these gonzo cult movies on USA Up All Night I was absolutely glued to the boob tube. Ahem *cough cough* I … Continue reading Late Night Memories
Giallogy: Puzzle
At first glance, Puzzle, or L’uomo senza memoria (The Man Without a Memory) appears to center on an amnesiac man’s (Luc Merenda) quest to unlock a past that is now a mystery to him.
