By the time you’re through with the opening credits, you know that Cleopatra Jones has the makings of a camp classic. I mean, any movie that was written by Max Julian (The Mack) and stars Bernie Casey, Antonio Fargas (as Doodlebug Simkins), Albert Popwell, Dan […]

The first thing that comes to mind when you start watching State Property is “Dang! This is straight up exploitation.” They START the movie in a titty bar with the dancers miming various fornication positions. The camera ogles the dancers for several minutes before […]

Alright, Foxy Brown is a bit slow by today’s standards. The acting is never going to win any awards. (It reminds me of gweilo actors in Hong Kong pictures.) Bob Minor’s work as a stunt coordinator is just pitiful — until I checked on […]

TRASH CINEMA RECOMMENDED MOVIE

An incredibly lurid blaxploitation potboiler, Mandingo bemoans the depravity of the pre Civil War South while dragging out every racist cliche imaginable and even inventing a few. The scene where slaveowner Warren Maxwell (James Mason) enlists a small black boy to cure his rheumatism by […]
