The Sister in Law, 1974

24 September 2008 – 10:18 pm +0800

All the pictures have been disappeared because Herself, in a kind and generous mood, reported to Picasa that every one of them violated terms of use. They did not, as they were in a private, not public, album, and did not incite hate or violence, nor were they pornographic. But Herself, when angry, [...]

Trip with the Teacher, 1975

10 July 2008 – 10:00 am +0800

Sleaze. Pure 1970s drive-in grindhouse sleaze.
And I enjoyed it, without even a slight inclination to shower afterward. Mostly because, while Trip with the Teacher certainly strives to be dark, it’s rather hard to take seriously.
The parents of four female students1 have convinced one of their teachers to take them on a learning vacation [...]

Tomboy, 1985

1 July 2008 – 3:38 pm +0800

Tomboy is, in its way, perfect. It’s not good. It’s intermittently entertaining in the usual sense. But it is perfectly what it sets out to be, and like The Pom Pom Girls, there isn’t a mean bone in its body.
This is the movie I referenced the other day as being precisely what [...]

The Pom Pom Girls, 1976

30 June 2008 – 3:01 pm +0800

I am on record as despising the 1970s in general. There are any number of things from the 70s I like, but the period, the atmosphere of it, is not something I can imagine ever wanting to return to.
Well, there is now a small, partial exception.
The Pom Pom Girls is, in its own way, [...]

Maniac, 1934

28 June 2008 – 3:50 pm +0800

Wow. This is one hell of a movie. It’s positively loony.
Plus it has 1934-era women getting disrobed to various degrees.
I am tempted to just link to Dr. Freex’s memorable review of this flick and leave it at that, but no, I can’t.
Maniac was written and directed by Dwain Esper. [...]

“The Revenge of Doctor X“, 1970

20 June 2008 – 4:04 pm +0800

Words fail. There is just no way I can communicate the … experience … of watching this film.
Not that I’m going to let that stop me from trying.
My friends, I have seen my share of bad movies. While not racking up a count worthy of bad movie reviewers like Nathan Shumate or Ken [...]
