TRASH CINEMA ESSENTIAL MOVIE
For me, the two seasons of Rome were a joy. I would have been happy if the show had gone on for another ten seasons.
The costumes, sets and cinematography are sublime. There’s plenty of good acting, especially from Ray Stevenson, Polly Walker, Ian McNeice, […]

TRASH CINEMA RECOMMENDED MOVIE
There are good exploitation movies and bad exploitation movies, just like any other kind of flick. Good exploitation movies work on a number of levels, provide surprises, and have a subtext. Bad exploitation movies may be lurid but lazy, lacking craft and a […]

TRASH CINEMA RECOMMENDED MOVIE
Director Alexandre Aja lets you know what kind of movie Pirahna is going to be within 30 seconds. He gives us a broad and knowing wink at Jaws, the mother of all big bad fish stories, going so far as to include a […]

TRASH CINEMA RECOMMENDED MOVIE
Ilsa: She Wolf of the SS is a profoundly unserious movie. Now, for some of you reading this, you’ll be thinking to yourself, “Duh.” But I thought that the comment was worth making because some flicks are intended seriously but are so incompetently executed that […]

NOT WORTH YOUR TIME
I’m afraid I’ve become spoiled by Japanese chambara flicks and triad movies from Hong Kong’s Golden Age (1985-1995). Chambara flicks generally boast skillful actors, literate screenplays, elegant cinematography, evocative sets, and even lovely music scores. Triad movies from the 80s and early […]
