The Hidden (1987) - Rated 02 Sep 2025
"I guessed the twist early on. Didn't find the plot, staging, aesthetics, or dialogue particularly compelling. Not for me, not terrible."
The First Nudie Musical (1976) - Rated 20 Aug 2025
"Good-natured but not tremendously exciting film. Musical sequences were a bit flat, with one exception, the scene at the brothel (and a good song to boot). Cindy Williams as always is terrific. The leading man was extremely handsome but wore glasses almost throughout and the reflections prevented a good look at him (yes, I'm shallow). Bruce Kimmel as the young director also sparkled, I wish he'd done more since."
Sugar Hill (1974) - Rated 17 Aug 2025
"It looked good, but was long and repetitive, without any particularly clever sequences, great writing, or interesting characters ... so looking good only takes you so far. I stopped an hour in with half an hour left and fast-forwarded to the conclusion. Some of the choices just irked, like how zombie were covered in cobwebs, that didn't make sense to me. And sloooooow paced."
Kiss Me Kate (1953) - Rated 16 Aug 2025
Thunderbolts* (2025) - Rated 16 Aug 2025
"Like the actors very much and enjoyed their characters, but the pacing felt very odd. The opening was dreary (I wish it had cut straight to their initial meeting), and I was surprised when it ended, the final showdown felt like a mid-movie moment. Oh, and one exception, I didn't care for Hannah John-Kamen's performance, she stood out as particularly uninteresting and I'm still not sure what her powers are. That's partly the script, of course, but the others seemed interesting despite that."
Snowden (2016) - Rated 15 Aug 2025
"Kinda boring, especially if you've already watched the documentary. What's interesting is the secrets, not the man's biography."
Kath & Kimderella (2012) - Rated 15 Aug 2025
"I know it's silly, but it's good fun, and jsut the sort of thing I'm happy to watch on a rainy Saturday night with the husband."
King Dinosaur (1955) - Rated 09 Aug 2025
"Ghastly. Particularly stupid. So stupid to travel to an alien planet and encounter animals identical to the ones on earth. And then, having established that, it makes it even harder to accept iguanas as dinosaurs, ludicrous. Plus, plot? What plot? Characters? Nope. And then once again the desire to kill everything which I regard as particularly American (sorry)."
Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl-O-Rama (1988) - Rated 07 Aug 2025
"There's something kinda charming about this one. But that's about it. I don't know whether to blame the writer, director, or costume designer at times (e.g. why is one girl turned into the Bride of Frankenstein? It makes no sense). It felt like the actors were better than the material, so good job casting. Both bespectacled nerds were quite hot, it's funny that people can't see past glasses."
The Hellcats (1967) - Rated 04 Aug 2025
"Too boring to finish, even with MST3K commentary adding some spice."
