Final Voyage (1999): Shipshape

Wynorski! Ice-T! Christian! Phoenician! Matty floats along on a real B-movie pleasure cruise. The films of Jim Wynorski move. By and large, Wynorski’s output is typified by a boisterous, devil-may-care swagger that, at the very least, kills ninety minutes or so. Yet as well made and as energetic as his pictures are, it’s whenever a villain is on screen that Wynorski really kicks it up a gear. Jim Wynorski loves — LOVES — a bad guy. He’s also s…Read Article

Parasite (1982): All in Yer Face and Stuff

Matty dissects Charles Band’s 3D monster movie. It stars Demi Moore, don’t cha know. B-movie titan Charles Band’s fourth stab at wielding the megaphone following Last Foxtrot in Burbank (1973), Crash! (1977), and The Alchemist (1983), PARASITE was conceived on the set of the latter but released in theatres before it, on either side of the Atlantic [1]. The film started its profitable U.K. and U.S. cinema run in spring 1982; eighteen months and …Read Article

False Idol: L.A. Goddess (1993)

Jag Mundhra’s dreadful sex-com will leave you screaming for salvation, says Matty. Shot between The Other Woman (1992) and Wild Cactus (1993) but released stateside after the latter, L.A. GODDESS is unpardonable rubbish and tied with the equally soul-destroying Tropical Heat (1993) as the worst film to bear Jag Mundhra’s name. A dismally unfunny behind-the-scenes meta comedy, this sorry farrago sees the gorgeous Kathy Shower — in her first of se…California, United States · California Read Article

Restraining Order (1999): At a Distance of One Incredible Mullet

Matty has a ball with a lively romp from Phoenician Entertainment. The shout-out to VHS and cable hit A Murder of Crows (1998) across the top of its sleeve tells you everything you need to know about RESTRAINING ORDER: It’s another pulpy and gloriously preposterous thriller from Elie Samaha, Ashok Amritraj, and Andrew Stevens’ Franchise Pictures, cobbled together through their DTV subdivision, Phoenician Entertainment. Treating Restraining Order…United States · United States Read Article

Life After Sex (1992): A Little Woody

Matty spoons with maverick auteur Serge Rodnunsky’s second flick. The legend: Written, produced by, directed by, and — a la Bold Stroke (1990) — starring Serge Rodnunsky. Rodnunsky’s sophomore flick, LIFE AFTER SEX finds the auteur playing the role of Steve Rollins: a character who, in another Bold Stroke holdover, is basically another version of the multi-disciplined B-movie maverick, right down to having the same initials. A filmmaker, Rolli…California, United States · California Read Article

Bitter Vengeance (1994): The Steal Trap

Dave takes a look at another solid USA Network original. “In a way, it’s like each one of my movies is a tune, and they add up to a thematic album. In the end, of course, I turn out to be a scumbag instead of a hero!” Bruce Greenwood has certainly played his fair share of scumbags – and as he told The Cedar Rapids Gazette just prior to the USA Network airing BITTER VENGEANCE, he’s always been grateful for the chance to mix it up. “I’ve been very…Cedar Rapids · Cedar Rapids Read Article

The Borrower (1991): How to Get a Head in La-La Land

Matty ponders on John McNaughton’s lively sci-shocker and its satirical sense of place. Veteran indie peddlers Atlantic Releasing Corporation (The Attic (1980), Valley Girl (1983), Teen Wolf (1985)) expressed interest in distributing Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer (1986) but passed on doing so when the film received an X rating from the MPAA. Nevertheless, they were still taken enough with Henry to hire its helmer, John McNaughton, to tackl…Los Angeles, California · Los Angeles Read Article

Against the Law (1997): Western Movie!

Matty saddles up with one of Jim Wynorski’s very best. “You fast?” Transposing the cowboy flick to ‘90s Los Angeles, AGAINST THE LAW is a revisionist western for the Tarantino generation; a white-hot tale of an outlaw and a marshal packed with nods to the genre’s history and a swaggering sense of po-mo cool. Think Unforgiven (1992) by way of Natural Born Killers (1994) and Heat (1995) and you’d be somewhere close. Channelling his inner Eastwood…Los Angeles, California · Los Angeles Read Article

Deadly Diamonds (1991): Dime Store Jewel

Dave checks out the supposed runt of producer Raj Mehrotra’s poverty row action litter. “Indies at the end of the ‘80s? There was hardly anyone. There was me, Fred Olen Ray, Jim Wynorski, Roger Corman, David Prior, and of course you, Raj Mehrotra.” Raj Mehrotra’s name doesn’t roll off the tongue with the same level of familiarity as the names that precede it. Ditto if one includes the mighty David DeCoteau, who said the above during his audio co…United States · United States Read Article
