Sci Fi comics, flicks, serials
I read a lot of silver age comics, usually in collected editions. Lately I’ve been slowly going through DOCTOR SOLAR and the Charlton Steve Ditko CAPTAIN ATOM. I really like the “Atom Age” stuff in comics and movies. I like the confident and capable military, the egghead scientists, the hot babes, the cars, the monsters, [...]
BLOATED MOMENTS with Quentin Tarantino
So I was on vacation and decided for some unknown reason to pick up a N.Y. Times which had a Tarantino piece about INGLORIOUS BASTERDS, where he described the difficulty he had casting the role of Hans Landa. He auditioned numerous actors but they “didn’t get my poetry. I literally had to consider I might [...]
SHARK WEEK-MAKO: JAWS OF DEATH
In MAKO: JAWS OF DEATH the always reliable Richard Jaeckel has a magic medallion that allows him to communicate with sharks. Basically, it’s STANLEY with sharks but still a pretty cool, low budget regional drive in picture from the seventies. Grefe always struck me as a man’s man director who did the best with what [...]
SHARK WEEK-DEEP BLOOD
Wow, it took me a while to track down a copy of this odd Joe D’Amato shark movie but I finally got one made from yet another Japanese laser disc. It’s a fairly goofy effort, not nearly as lively as GREAT WHITE but it did end up as part of CRUEL JAWS as well. The [...]
SHARK WEEK-HAMMERHEAD: SHARK FRENZY
Here’s one that had a lot going for it: Jeffrey Combs, William Forsythe, an assload of Russians, cool sets and a nice retro-shark man design and yet it didn’t come together. I gotta blame the script. There’s so many missed opportunities and it’s a shame. It really could’ve been a great nostalgic drive in movie [...]
SHARK WEEK- HAI ALARM AUF MALLORCA
Holy Shit, I don’t know how I missed this one. A megalodon movie made by Germans, how the hell did that happen? I was expecting something along the lines of SHARK ATTACK 3, SPRING BREAK SHARK ATTACK or WESTWEGO SHARK FRENZY but was surprised by how much I liked this goofy Kraut picture. It stars [...]
SHARK WEEK-CRUEL JAWS
The overwhelming positive response(actually one comment not really even about Shark Week but a high for this blog) to SHARK WEEK means that it will continue! That’s right friends, more Shark Cinema. So let’s get back in the water with the Bruno Mattei collage of a film CRUEL JAWS. Mattei is such a cinematic genius he [...]
