Yikes, Yikes Baby
Review number two... Question for parents, well, anyone, really: If a guy like Vanilla Ice showed up on your doorstep, what would you do? 1991's Cool As Ice attempts to answer that question, but mostly it's a vanity project for decidedly one of the most polarizing rap artists of the late twentieth century. I don't want to … Continue reading Yikes, Yikes Baby

We Can’t Control the Titanic
Here we go... As it's turned out, I've reviewed a lot of Titanic movies. It's gotten to be kind of a So Bad It's Good tradition. This year I happened upon 2022's Titanic 666 while browsing through Tubi, and a movie with a title like that can't be anything but so-bad-it's-good, right? Heh. Heh. Heh. The … Continue reading We Can’t Control the Titanic

For the Boys
Strike up the band... Big star showcases were a staple of the World War Two era, and one of them was 1943's Thousands Cheer. MGM's trade paper, The Lion's Roar, declared, "On all the Broadways of America, there’s a milling to get into the most extravagant extravaganza in years entitled “Thousands Cheer”." On one hand, Lion's hyperbole is … Continue reading For the Boys

The Evil Wizard John Saxon
Hello, Mr. Saxon... As we all know, sometimes the unexpected stinks. Sometimes it's pretty epic. Sometimes it's just hilarious. 1997's Lancelot: Guardian of Time is a mashup of of those, with some extra touches that make it all worthwhile. It opens with Lancelot (Marc Singer) sparring with Sir Gawain (Robert Chapin) and beating him handily, … Continue reading The Evil Wizard John Saxon

Where Will Henry Spend Eternity?
See you on the other side... Ernst Lubitsch was famous for what film people call "The Lubitsch Touch," that rather nebulous quality that makes a Lubitsch film special. No one can agree on what the Lubitsch Touch is and no one seems to really want to, but that's OK because it's Ernst Lubistch and it's … Continue reading Where Will Henry Spend Eternity?
