Laura is a great film. Waldo Lydecker is such a creepy guy.

Gene Tierney may have been the most beautiful female actor of the studio system era. Just mesmerizing beauty.

And such a cool name, too.

In Iowa, one of my classmates was named Jen Tiernan. I had a hard time not thinking of the actor whenever we chatted.

Her and a young Lauren Bacall were perfection.

Maybe it's an effect of black and white film, but I find the female actors from that period, taken as a collective, much more attractive than later decades.

Yeah, I can agree with that.

Bacall's singing voice is so weird, but it just makes me like her more.

Haha it's not easy to hear.

I was reading about her, she married a guy named W. Howard Lee, a Texas oil tycoon who was previously married to Heddy fucking Lamarr. Fuck that guy!

MotorPsycho! (1965) With no help from law enforcement, Alex Rocco and Haji track down a biker gang to avenge their spouses in Russ Meyer's smutty action classic. With this, Pussycat and Mudhoney, Russ Meyer had about as good a 1965 as anybody! (Night Flight)

Schizo (1976) A newlywed ice skater is stalked by a man from her past and no one believes her, even when people in her circle turn up dead, in this nice sleaze from Pete Walker. With Lynne Frederick and Stephanie Beacham. (Blu-ray)

This Stuff'll Kill Ya (1971) A moonshiner preacher and his rabid congregation are a pain in the neck for the local liquor store, the fed, and anyone else who gets in their way in HG Lewis' hixploitation flick. Larry Drake’s film debut. Pretty rough watch at 98 minutes. (Blu-ray)

Porno Nights of the World (1977) Laura Gemser introduces a dozen or so clips (while constantly changing clothes on camera) of erotic night club acts, "secret" camera footage, and other various international sex vignettes, mondo style. Directing credits to Bruno Mattei and Joe D'Amato. J&B – yes (Blu-ray)

The Night Digger (1971) A spinster and her blind mother hire a young handyman to help around the house...right around the same time young women are going missing from the area. Reminded me of the great Night Must Fall from 1937 but went in a different direction in the 3rd act. Good Brit flick (TCM/cable)

Keoma (1976) Franco Nero is a half-breed who returns home to find his village infected by disease, and the townsfolk, including his three half-brothers really, really want to murder a pregnant woman whom the believe to have the plague in Enzo G. Castellari's spaghetti western. (DVD)

Messenger of Death (1988) Charles Bronson is a hotshot Denver newspaper reporter covering a rural Mormon massacre, and finds there might be more to it then just a pair of brothers in a decades long blood feud. A Cannon action/thriller directed by J. Lee Thompson. Kinda forgettable. (AmPrime)

Something Wild (1961) Dealing with post-rape trauma, Carroll Baker runs away from home, quits college, and gets a skid row-adjacent room and a cashier job. A passerby interrupts her suicide attempt, but he turns out to be unhinged himself. Good movie, I would have preferred a slightly quicker pace. (AmPrime)

Baba Yaga (1973) A fashion photographer meets a mysterious witch who puts a death curse on her camera. Based on a comic, and with lots of surreal dream sequences. With Isabelle De Funès, Carroll Baker and George Eastman. Saw it 10 years ago, liked it way more this time! (DVD)

Pyro... The Thing Without a Face (1964) A scorned mistress sets her ex-lover's home on fire, disfiguring him and killing his family. He, a Ferris Wheel aficionado, vows revenge. Soledad Miranda joins the cast in the 3rd act of this tedious Spanish/American production. (FAWESOME)

Night of the Eagles (1989) The horrors of war show a nazi singer that being a nazi is not as cool as she thought it was. Yes, the nazis are sympathetic characters in this war/romance from Jess Franco, with Christopher Lee and Mark Hamil. Nazisploitation but without the 'sploitation. (Blu-ray)

The Last Drive In with Joe Bob Briggs: Season 7 Week 2

Intruder (1989) A supermarket cashier’s criminal ex-boyfriend causes some trouble at closing time, and after hours is hanging outside, causing more trouble. Then during the clean-up shift, employees start getting knocked off one by one. Severed heads left and right, eyes poked out, butcher shop tools, faces getting sawed in half, hands and feet, pools of blood. Great FX, lots of fun. Cameo that no one cares about but me, probably, the bumbling cops were regulars on Green Acres. (SHUDDER)

The 2nd movie was In A Violent Nature (2024) I thought it was mid at best when I saw it last year, save for great FX, but I had my finger on FF, as there are a good handful of recent releases that I would give a second spin before this.

I watched The Dead Zone yesterday for the first time since about 1986. It has dated a little bit but what a great performance by Christopher Walken.
