Safe Lists
The following lists are Automatic Safe lists. They are not definitive and there might be exceptions therein, especially concerning Distributors. Generally, the presence of those on the lists in an actual creative capacity (that is, more than just a cameo or bit part. For instance, Bruce Campbell appearing in Spider-Man does not make Spider-Man safe) is enough to make a film safe. Got more? Post them and I'll update the list. Obviously, films not including these participants are safe, too. Update: I added several new names to the actors list. Some of these actors appeared in actual big budget Hollywood fare, but most of their career was in B-Movies, then obviously discard the Big Hollywood movies and just watch the B's (For example, William Shatner. Ignore Star Trek movies but anything else is fair game. Or Patrick Swazye. Ghost is probably not right, but most of his other films were B-Movies).

DVD unless otherwise noted
First half list
Spoiler:
April 16
43. London by Night (1937)* YouTube
An American newspaper man and his dog (the brains of the outfit) help a Scotland Yard inspector (a nice role for George Zucco) track down a serial killer. Good mystery even if I figured out the gist pretty early on and eventually the who. At least the police and the reporter are on friendly terms as opposed to the usual antagonism. 6/10
44. The Tough Ones (1976)* BluRay
A police detective who doesn't like to play by the rules is out to break up a crime syndicate. You're thrown into an ongoing investigation so it takes a while (for me at least) to get up to speed. There's enough story to tie the action scenes together which is all you need here. The action can be pretty violent at times and it's exciting and very entertaining. 7/10
45. Master of the World (1983)* BluRay
Italian caveman movie about two tribes who fight each other, some different folks, and some bears and wolves. Some parts are cool and some are rather gory but there are slow stretches with artistic shots of scenery or cave-people sitting around grunting at each other. The majority of dialog is grunting with a few made up words thrown in. It took me quite a while to figure out who was who and I don't think I ever got the whole story figured out. 4.5/10
46. Goodbye, 20th Century (1998)* BluRay
Macedonian (once part of Yugoslavia) film split into two main parts with a brief section in between. Part one is a typical post apocalyptic setup which gets very strange as it ends. The middle section is about a wedding ceremony in 1900 which goes bad. The third is set on New Year's Eve 1999 and is about a wake that also goes poorly. There is little direct connection between the parts except for one character and a few themes in common. Even though I really didn't get it all this movie was still engrossing. 6/10
April 17
47. Body Fever (1969)* (The Incredibly Strange Films of Ray Dennis Steckler) BluRay
A PI gets is hired to find a woman who, unbeknown to him, stole a shipment of heroin meant for a big time crime boss. Standard crime story with some Steckler touches. Nothing outrageous here but nothing outstanding either. 5/10
48. The Corpse Grinders (1971)*
Ted V. Mikels film about a cat food company adding ground up human corpse to its product resulting in house cats becoming people eaters. I was surprised that this was played so straight given the silly premise. A really bad business plan, off the wall characters, and low level acting don't hurt all that much. Some good looking women and the cool but cheesy grinding machine help make this very watchable. 5/10
April 18
49. The Proud Youth (1978)*
Shaw Brothers' movie about the relations between five virtuous mountain clans and some evil clans but things are not as clear cut as they seem. Very interesting story with a strong martial arts fantasy feel and many fast and furious fights some of which are excellent. The characters are all interesting, there are some good twists to the plot, and some of the settings are quite different from what we usually see. 8/10
50. Wild Ones on Wheels (1962)* Tubi
A gang (no motorcycles rather Jeeps and sports cars!) kidnap a newly released convict because they think he knows where $240,000 is located in the desert. Entertaining low budget crime drama with Francine York and Ray Dennis Steckler who was also cinematographer. Familiar plot (with a few little plot holes) but fairly well done with a great location for the finale at some kind of abandoned mine. Shot mostly in the desert. 5.5/10
51. Gun Girls (1957)* Tubi
Three teenage girls, at least one of which is on parole, buy some guns and try for a big score. Cautionary film about female JDs is slow moving. The girls are dim and dull, there are a couple of incoherent and dull lectures by a parole officer, and there is dull and unmoving death scene at the end. The best part of the movie is the sleazy, womanizing fence (played by Timothy Farrell) who the girls have to deal with. 4/10
April 19
52. Queen Kong (1976)* (Retromedia The Kong Collection)
The plot of King Kong with a different ending and the genders of most of the characters switched. A satire (I guess) of women's lib, Hollywood, and gender roles in the mid 1970's. Heavy handed at times and too many of the jokes are not funny and just plain stupid or silly I shouldn't have liked this but overall I thought it was amusing a lot of the time and tolerable all of the time. 5/10
April 20
53. Reefer Madness (1936) BluRay
The lives of a wholesome teenaged couple are ruined by exposure to the devil weed. I forgot how much fun this wildly insane movie is. 6.5/10
54. She Should'a Said No! (1949) BluRay
A hardworking young woman who is putting her younger brother through college falls under the influence of a uncaring drug pusher after her first reefer. Full of familiar B-move faces this isn't nearly as crazy or entertaining as Reefer Madness and is kind of slow moving and plodding at times. There is a nifty theremin tune they play when the weed kicks in. 4/10
55. The Cool and the Crazy (1958)* Tubi
A new student just out of reform school, gets a gang of JDs hooked on marijuana. Things go bad when his supply is cut off because he is also a user. Some silly stuff here like the amazing marijuana hangover the gang suffers the next day but the movie moves at a good pace. Directed by action ace William Witney. 5/10
April 21
56. Kill Squad (1982)* B-Movie TV
A Vietnam vet and business. paralyzed after a murder attempt, calls his old army squad together to try to find out what was behind the attack. The kind of movie where almost everyone knows martial arts but not a HonG Kong flick. Fights crop up every few minutes as the team tracks down an endless series of clues but for the most part are bland and unexciting. There are some hilarious scenes along with bad acting and poor writing. There is a nice funky score though. Despite all the flaws this wasn't a chore to watch. 4/10
April 22
57. The Devil's Sleep (1949)* BluRay
A judge and the police try to break a narcotics ring that has caused a huge jump in teenage crime. From the lurid painting behind the title to the dry and incoherent lectors about environment influencing criminal behavior and the safe medical use of uppers and downers this is a entertaining exposé. The acting is generally poor but once again Timothy Farrell does a good job as the scum behind the racket. 6/10
58. Sinthia: The Devil's Doll (1970)* (The Incredibly Strange Films of Ray Dennis Steckler) BluRay
A young women with daddy issues who killed her parents when she was a child and found them having sex is being treated by a shrink for nightmares. A bit of a stinker. Lots of bare boobs, naked groping, and general nudity with almost no plot and often incoherent dialogue. At one point it seems to be heading toward a satanic cult plot but no such luck. 3/10
59. Kong Island (1968) (Retromedia The Kong Collection)
Edited US version of Italian movie about a crazed scientist who can control gorillas by radio waves and wants to try it on humans so he can control the world. No Kong or island here but a jungle adventure featuring a lab in a cave, a lovely jungle girl with a faithful chimp companion, stock footage of jungle animals, and savage natives. Not bad. 5/10
60. Fists of Steel (1989)* B-Movie TV
A former boxer and special forces ace is called out of retirement to take down a really bad guy who just happened to brutally murder our hero's father. Former real life boxing champ Carlos Palomino is an appealing lead and the great Henry Silva is fun as the over the top villain. His female assassin assistant sports the most ridiculous Russian accent I ever heard. The end is kind of strange. 6/10
April 23
61. Candles at Nine (1944)* YouTube
A miserly and cranky old man takes an "accidental" tumble down the stairs and when his will is read it leaves all his wealth to someone the man's needy relatives never heard of before. OK but precious little time is actually spent on the mystery which has a vague and unsatisfying resolution. The heroine is a little annoying at times. 4.5/10
62. The Magic Sword (1962) BluRay
An orphaned prince raised by a sorceress challenges a powerful sorcerer to save the woman he loves. Directed by Bert I. Gordon with some of his most accomplished special effects. The story is a little weak at times and the ending is anticlimactic but the nifty sets along the way and good performances by Basil Rathbone and Estelle Winwood keep things interesting. 5/10
63. Son of Samson aka Maciste in the Valley of the Kings (196) BluRay
Maciste helps to free the Egyptians from the evil yoke of the invading Persians. Solid peplum with several good feats of strength and fights with some lions and crocodiles. Nice Egyptian feel and some impressive sets along with an evil queen completes the package. 6/10
April 24
64. Alligator II: The Mutation (1991)* BluRay
Another alligator grows really big in the sewers due to chemical waste and disrupts a carnival set up by a would be real estate baron. Vastly inferior sequel is just full of dumb stuff. The villain is lame with a stupid plan to start his empire. The script is full of cliches and the dialogue is often painful. Richard Lynch and Dee Wallace do their best but can't do much to help. There is some nice miniature work though, some of it from the first film. 4/10
65. Night of the Lepus (1972)
Human error with hormone injections results in hordes of giant, killer bunny rabbits rampaging through the American Southwest. It's been a while since I watched this so I forgot that there is actually some bloody scenes and just how convincing the giant rabbits look. There are way too many scenes of rabbits loping through miniature sets but otherwise a decent monster movie. 6/10
66. Gammera the Invincible (1966) BluRay
A giant, flying turtle terrorizes the world. US version of the first Gamera movie with some added scenes featuring only American actors, most of who do a pretty poor job. The scenes don't change the plot at all. Still fun to watch. 5/10
67. Blue Monkey aka Insect (1987)* BluRay
A small private hospital has to deal with an unknown fast spreading virus and two giant insects which are beginning to reproduce. This film is full of annoying things - overly cute children, an adorable alcoholic oldster, characters who have no point in the story, and many plot points that make no sense even within the logic of the film. Also while one of the giant bugs looks pretty cool, the one we see the most of is kind of crappy. 3.5/10
April 25
68. Picture Mommy Dead (1966)* BluRay
A teenage girl released from an institution three years after seeing her mother burned to death becomes a pawn for her parents and other adults trying to get a cut of her deceased mother's fortune. Well made thriller by Bert I. Gordon with a creepy finish shows he can do more than giant bugs and tiny people. His daughter Susan works well as the lead. 6.5/10
69. The Chooper aka Blood Shack (1971)* (The Incredibly Strange Films of Ray Dennis Steckler) BluRay
A retired horror actress inherits a ranch that has an old run down shack supposedly haunted by a deadly Indian spirit known as The Chooper. This is the longer version padded with rodeo footage made for theatrical release. Not a bad idea for a story but a pathetically low budget produces a bit of a snoozer. It still has some of the Steckler "charm" (The Chooper itself) but the opening credits are the best part. 4.5/10
70. The Chooper commentary with author Joe Bob Briggs
Amusing with some info on the various stars and of course a lot of the Joe Bob takes on what we're seeing.
71. Joshua (1976)* (Fred Williamson Signature Collection Vol. #3) BluRay
A cowboy pursues the men who murdered his mother and picks them off one by one. Fred Williamson looks great as a cowboy and some of the story takes place in snowy mountains which gives a different feel but the movie is slow moving and the very repetitive soundtrack gets really annoying at times. 4.5/10
72. Mr Mean (1977)* (Fred Williamson Signature Collection Vol. #3) BluRay
Fred stars as a mercenary who is hired by a Mafia don to kill another don who has embarrassed the organization. A little hard to follow at first due to some print damage and later due to a muddled script. Entertaining enough with some nice shots of Rome. 5/10
April 26
73. Van Nuys Blvd. (1979) (Mill Creek Explosive Cinema 12 Movie Collection)
A snall town teen gets fed up with his boring life (despite the naked girlfriend waiting in his trailer) and points his souped up van to Los Angeles so he can cruise on Van Nuys Blvd. where he finds nookie, friends and love. Pleasant teen comedy with some nudity and a lead who is a little bit of a dick at times. 5/10
74. The Cheerleaders (1973)* BluRay
A bunch of hot-to-trot high school cheerleaders will do anything to help the football team win the big game or for any other reason at all. OK, with a huge amount of nudity. The acting is poor and it does drag a little in spots but wait, there's more T and A just around the corner. 4.5/10
75. Rad (1986)* BluRay
A loval boy who is a fan of BMX racing has a chance to participate in a big race being held in his own town but has to contend with evil businessmen as well as corporate sponsored riders. VERY familiar plot with some seriously sappy parts but the bike tricks are amazing and I had a lot of fun watching this. 7/10
76. Surf II (1983)* BluRay
Surfers who want to compete in the big surfing contest must contend with zombies created by a brilliant nerdy science student who hates all surfers. An incredibly stupid movie (intentional) that gave me a few laughs and wasn't a chore to watch. 5/10
April 27
77. The Hollywood Strangler Meets the Skid Row Slasher (1979)* (The Incredibly Strange Films of Ray Dennis Steckler) BluRay
A strangler and a slasher are attracted to each other but no good comes of it. Some great shots of sleazy Hollywood street life at the time and Pierre Agostino is OK as the strangler. The basic idea was a good one but the execution is lacking with the same thing happening over and over again just with different victims. Mostly narration with little (dubbed) dialogue which also goes over the same stuff over and over. 4/10
78. A Smell of Honey, a Swallow of Brine (1966)* (SWV David F. Friedman Triple Feature)
Sandy may be the ultimate tease - she eggs her lovers on until she is down to just panties then backs off and accuses them of rape. This of course ruins several lives. Sandy is a nasty piece of business well played by star Stacey Walker. Lots of nudity of course and quite an ending. 5.5/10
79. A Sweet Sickness (1968)* (SWV David F. Friedman Triple Feature)
A young woman tries to become an actress in Hollywood without resorting the the casting couch but ultimately fails. Lots of nudity and several bizarre situations but slow moving and ultimately tiresome. 4/10
80. The Brick Dollhouse (1967)* (SWV David F. Friedman Triple Feature)
A detective investigate the murder of a young woman and has to listen to stories of the recent sexual exploits of the female roommates. Lots and lots of nudity and this time in living color! I was totally boobed out at this point and just didn't care. Perhaps the longest 55 minutes of my life. Just awful. 2/10
81. King Dinosaur (1955) (VCI 50's Sci-Fi Double Feature)
A new planet enters our solar system and a spaceship is quickly built so the US can claim the prize. Bert I. Gordon's first theatrical feature. The movie is kind of dumb (the new planet looks exactly like Earth for the most part), the effects are crude, and the characters, all scientists, are dim but I still kind of like this one. 4/10.
April 28
82. The Las Vegas Serial Killer (1986)* (The Incredibly Strange Films of Ray Dennis Steckler) BluRay
A strangler is released from prison due to a favorable psychiatric report and immediately goes on a rampage in Las Vegas. Many similarities to The Hollywood Strangler Meets the Skid Row Slasher (it's a sequel) but with more variety. Kept my interest better than the original 5/10
83. An American Hippie in Israel (1972)* BluRay
After spending several years in Europe a Vietnam vet goes to Israel looking for people to share his dreams of freedom and peace. Things don't work out too well. Interesting story if a bit predictable. When things go wrong it gets pretty intense. 6.5/10
84. The Cyclops (1957) BluRay
A woman recruits three men to help her search for her fiancee who disappeared in a remote region of Mexico three years ago. Early Bert I. Gordon film is almost a template for the later War of the Colossal Beast. The effects aren't as good but the story is more interesting than I remembered. 6/10
85. Daughter of Dr. Jekyll (1957)
When a young woman and her future husband ask her guardian for his blessing she discovers that she is the daughter of the infamous Dr. Jekyll and may have inherited a madness caused by his experiment. No surprises but director Edgar G. Ulmer is able to make this low budget film more than watchable. 6.5/10
April 29
86. The Boy and the Pirates (1960)* Prime
Bert I Gordon helmed kid's adventure movie about a boy who finds a genie in a bottle and wishes he could sail with pirate - he gets his wish. Ok movie with a bit of Gordon's size effects since the genie is always small enough to fit in the bottle. 5/10
87. Tormented (1960) Prime
More Bert I. Gordon in this ghost story about a jazz pianist who let's his former girlfriend die so she won't interfere with his upcoming marriage into a wealthy family. Supernatural and mundane problems follow. Good story with a few nice effects and one of my favorite B-movie guys, Richard Carlson, in the lead. 6/10
88. Double Face (1969)* BluRay
Klaus Kinski plays a man whose wife is killed in an auto accident but several events and people make him begin to think that she is not really dead. Marketed as both a giallo and a krimi depending on the country this doesn't have a high body count but is a nifty little mystery. 5.5/10
89. The Avenging Eagle (1978)*
Shaw Brothers film about a member of a group of assassins who begins to have second thoughts about his profession. Lots of fights and a straightforward but interesting story with good acting. 6/10
90. The Amazing Colossal Man (1957) VHS
After being caught in a plutonium explosion an army major starts getting very, very big. One of may favorite Bert I. Gordon movies still isn't on disk, at least in this country, as far as I know. 6.5/10
April 30
91. Kung Fu Trailers of Fury (2016)* BluRay
I was hesitant about watching two hours of kung fu trailers but this exceeded my expectations. Almost all of these were Chinese language trailers and almost all of them were great.
92. Necromancy (1972)* Prime 5.5/10
Bert I. Gordon directs and Orson Wells stars in this predictable story of witchcraft. Has the kind of ending that I really dislike but until then it was pretty good. 5.5/10
93. Attack of the Puppet People (1958) BluRay 6/10
94. War of the Colossal Beast (1958) BluRay 6/10
95. Earth vs the Spider aka The Spider (1958) BluRay 6/10

"If it's a good picture, it's a Miracle"
2023
APRIL 1
1) SGT. PEPPER'S LONELY HEARTS CLUB BAND (1978) * - Answer: "Kids today don't know the Beatles' Sgt. Pepper. And when those who do see our film and hear us doing it, that will be the version they relate to and remember. Unfortunately, the Beatles will be secondary. You see, there is no such thing as the Beatles" - Robin Gibb. Question: What are quotes that did not age well?
2) THE APPLE - Time has been kind to wacky musical Biblical allegory. Ill conceived and embarrassing, but it works for this one.
APRIL 2
3) THE DENTIST * - Corbin Bernsen as titular character driven to madness by cheating wife in Brian Yuzna's campy thriller. SPFX mouths are a highlight.
4) BARBARELLA * - Cool special effects (Jane Fonda doesn't count, although she's cool too) enliven at times lackluster script in Roger Vadim's live action sci fi comic book. Never boring.
APRIL 3
5) COBRA * - Sylvester Stallone takes on nihilistic gang of sadists in very 80s action epic from the glory days of Cannon Films. Fast paced, violent and (unintentionally?) funny. This kind of rocks.
APRIL 4
6) THE LONG RIDERS * - Director Walter Hill goes full Peckinpah in violent story of James/Younger gang.
APRIL 5
7) GAS! OR...IT BECAME NECESSARY TO DESTROY THE WORLD IN ORDER TO SAVE IT * - Roger Corman's bizarre satire of life in America after a military snafu leaves everyone over 25 dead. The humor is pitch black, but astute. Corman's final film for AIP.
APRIL 7
ROMERO FEST
8) NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD - "That's important, isn't it? To be right, everybody else to be wrong."
9) DAWN OF THE DEAD - "It's ours. We took it."
10) DAY OF THE DEAD - "Well, what do you know? We are heroes after all. What a relief."
11) LAND OF THE DEAD - "Looks like God left the phone off the hook, huh baby?"
In an interview, author Tim Lucas had a nice quote when asked about the enduring appeal of George Romero's filmography. "His movies never stop telling us the truth."
APRIL 8
12) NIGHT OF THE LEPUS - Easter theme. Rabbits.
APRIL 9
13) CITY OF THE LIVING DEAD - Easter theme #2. Resurrected dead people.
14) THE DENTIST 2 * - Corbin Bernsen returns as crazed doctor assuming a new identity in a small town and desperately trying to keep it together. "Vertigo" reference is amusing.
15) CREATURE FROM THE HAUNTED SEA * - Charles B. Griffith's satirical script makes this Roger Corman quickie worth a look.
APRIL 10
16) BOG * - Amateurish but watchable tale of weird creature awakened from swamp bottom by dynamite fisherman (not that he's cool, he was using dynamite to kill the fish). Monster is barely seen, likely for good reason. Veteran cast seems to be trying but Aldo Ray doesn't wait until the cameras stop rolling to have a drink.
APRIL 11
17) POINT BREAK (1991) * - I love the idea of a surfer gang that robs banks to support their beach bum lifestyle. Too bad Keanu shows up to ruin the fun!
APRIL 12
18) OUR WINNING SEASON * - Good performances and direction from Joseph Rueben save otherwise standard story of teenage angst in the spring of 1967. Excellent for track and field fans.
APRIL 14
19) DEADLY FORCE * - Wings Hauser stars as pariah ex cop on the trail of a brutal, unpredictable serial killer. Although Hauser's Stoney Cooper (great name) can be a bit of an a-hole, even to allies and particularly his wife, he's always fun to watch. Easy to see why this one didn't spawn a franchise.
APRIL 15
20) I BURY THE LIVING * - Intriguing premise undermined by disappointing finale. Well acted and directed with great atmosphere.
21) THE GIANT SPIDER INVASION - Hicksploitation meets monster movie in unforgettable Wisconsin lensed epic.
APRIL 16
22) GAME OF DEATH * - Reworking of Bruce Lee's final unfinished film is surprisingly coherent if not entirely successful.
23) MOONSHINE COUNTY EXPRESS * - Entertaining New World Pictures backwoods potboiler. Great cast.
APRIL 17
24) THE CORPSE VANISHES * - A creepy castle, a dark and stormy night, secret passages, mad scientists, humongous hypodermics and Bela Lugosi make for a fun, if creaky evening.
APRIL 18
25) LISA * - Surprisingly bland story of precocious teen's inadvertent involvement with serial killer rapist. Coming from Gary (Vice Squad) Sherman, I was expecting something edgier and darker. More Lifetime than Ramrod.
APRIL 20
26) STEEL (1979) * - Lee Majors stars as traumatized steel worker brought in as foreman to finish job with impossible deadline and deal with evil types trying to stop him. Lensed at actual skyscraper construction site giving the film a vertigo inducting authenticity. Stuntman A.J. Bakunas died performing a fall when the airbag failed.
APRIL 21
27) THE NORSEMAN * - After leaving Boggy Creek and sundown dreading towns behind, writer/director Charles B. Pierce headed to the past to helm this would be epic tale of Vikings vs Native Americans in 11th century America. Lee Majors heads pretty good cast but low energy and budget make things tough going at times. Oil tanker in background of one scene adds character.
APRIL 22
28) EVIL DEAD RISE * - Uninspired fifth entry in beloved spaltstick series. A laborious setup harbingers vapid story that makes little use of new urban setting and repeats several bits from previous films with much less effectiveness. Bonkers at times, but not bonkers enough.
29) NAKED LUNCH - Probably works better as a David Cronenberg film than adaptation of William Burroughs novel. Trippy and darkly funny. Great performances.
APRIL 23
30) THE LAST CHASE - Cars are illegal in this Canadian dystopian sci-fi action flick. Lee Majors and Chris Makepeace star as rebellious citizens of a totalitarian America, on the run to California in the last car on the road. Fascists bring in retired fighter pilot Burgess Meredith to join the chase.
APRIL 24
31) THE BRAIN THAT WOULDN'T DIE * - Mad scientist keeps wife's severed head alive while he peruses the local hotties looking for a suitable body. Weird.
APRIL 25
32) DICK TRACY MEETS GRUESOME * - Fourth and final film in RKO Films series. Fast paced and funny, with a great performance by Boris Karloff as Gruesome. Best line: "If I didn't know better I'd swear we were doing business with Boris Karloff!"
APRIL 26
33) THREE IN THE ATTIC * - A college lothario is found out by 3 women who do not take it well and hatch a devilish revenge scheme. They lock him in an attic and punish him with daily sex. Amazingly, it works. Wacky counter culture comedy from AIP.
APRIL 27
34) RIOT ON SUNSET STRIP * - More like peaceful protest on Sunset Strip. Good music but gets bogged down with family melodrama. Mimsy Farmer's freak out is a memorable highlight. And there is no riot!
APRIL 28
35) SPAWN OF THE SLITHIS * - Muck creature stalks Venice, California in eccentric low budget monster fest.
APRIL 29
36) THE LEMON GROVE KIDS MEET THE MONSTERS * - More mugging that a dark ally in Gotham City. At times seems a bit like a glorified home movie. Middle section is watchable.
37) METALSTORM: THE DESTRUCTION OF JARED-SYN IN 3D * - Not as good as director Charles Band's previous 3D epic "Parasite", but this "Road Warrior" riff is still wacky fun. Great 3D with a memorable one armed baddie. Ending seems to be setting up a sequel that never came.
38) COONSKIN *
39) WHISKEY MOUNTAIN * - Not bad "Deliverance" rip off from director William Grefe. Christopher George and Roberta Collins are good as two of the victimized city folk.
APRIL 30
40) THE HAUTING OF JULIA (FULL CIRCLE) - Stylish thriller with Mia Farrow as grieving mother starting a new life following he tragic death of young daughter. She becomes convinced she's being haunted by the ghost of a child, but the specter may not be who she expects. Well directed by Richard Loncraine with a chilling final image. Based on Peter Straub's novel.
41) HOLLYWOOD BOULEVARD - The perfect and usual capper.
First time 29

34) RIOT ON SUNSET STRIP * - More like peaceful protest on Sunset Strip. Good music but gets bogged down with family melodrama. Mimsy Farmer's freak out is a memorable highlight. And there is no riot!
APRIL 28
35) SPAWN OF THE SLITHIS * - Muck creature stalks Venice, California in eccentric low budget monster fest.
APRIL 29
36) THE LEMON GROVE KIDS MEET THE MONSTERS * - More mugging that a dark ally in Gotham City. At times seems a bit like a glorified home movie. Middle section is watchable.
37) METALSTORM: THE DESTRUCTION OF JARED-SYN IN 3D * - Not as good as director Charles Band's previous 3D epic "Parasite", but this "Road Warrior" riff is still wacky fun. Great 3D with a memorable one armed baddie. Ending seems to be setting up a sequel that never came.
38) COONSKIN *
39) WHISKEY MOUNTAIN * - Not bad "Deliverance" rip off from director William Grefe. Christopher George and Roberta Collins are good as two of the victimized city folk.
APRIL 30
40) THE HAUTING OF JULIA (FULL CIRCLE) - Stylish thriller with Mia Farrow as grieving mother starting a new life following he tragic death of young daughter. She becomes convinced she's being haunted by the ghost of a child, but the specter may not be who she expects. Well directed by Richard Loncraine with a chilling final image. Based on Peter Straub's novel.
41) HOLLYWOOD BOULEVARD - The perfect and usual capper.
First time 29

Re: List Thread 14th Annual Drive-in/Exploitation/B-Movie Challenge April 1-30, 2023
Title in BLACK = From my personal DVD / Blu Ray collection.
Title in RED = Seen on Youtube.
Title in BLUE = Seen at the movies during current theatrical run.
Title in GREEN = Seen on TV during regular broadcasting.
Title in ORANGE = Seen on free streaming channels (Plex, Tubi, etc.)
Title in PURPLE = Seen on HBO Max or Amazon Prime
April 1
1. La Mujer Murciélago (The Batwoman) (1968) When she wrestles she wears a full bodysuit, but when she fights crime she wears a bikini. Awesome.
ANDY SIDARIS MARATHON!
April 2
3. Hard Ticket to Hawaii (1987) Playboy Playmates Donna Speir and Hope Marie Carlton are two special agents that... well, the plot is a bit fuzzy. But there's boobs and a killer snake, so I'm satisfied.
April 3
4. Savage Beach (1989) Donna Speir and Hope Marie Carlton are joined by more gorgeous babes that are topless at least once in the movie. More boobs and violence than in Hard Ticket to Hawaii.
5. Picasso Trigger (1988) Playboy Playmates Donna Speir and Hope Marie Carlton return!
6. Guns (1990) Donna Speir and new sidekick Roberta Vasquez (even though she had appeared as a different character in Picasso Trigger) plus more gorgeous babes go up against Erik Estrada who stars as a mob boss called Jack of Diamonds - I kid you not.
April 4
7. Do or Die (1991) Donna Speir and Roberta Vasquez go up against mob boss Pat Morita (Mr. Miyagi)! Erik Estrada returns but as a different character than in Guns.
April 5
8. Hard Hunted (1993) Donna Speir and Roberta Vasquez on the trail of a nuclear trigger device hidden inside a jade Buddha, but who cares, the babes are buxom (and nude) and the action is aplenty.
April 6
9. Hard Hunted (1993) Donna Speir and Roberta Vasquez return one last time in a sort-of sequel to Hard Hunted as it features the same villain - Kane played by R.J. Moore (Roger Moore's son) who in one scene plays homage to his father's 007 movies.
April 7
10. BMX Bandits (1983) A teen Nicole Kidman is part of a trio of BMX riding kids who go up against some criminals. Lots of BMX bike riding and simple fun. Loved it.
April 8
11. Wonder Woman (1974) Not the Lynda Carter nor Gal Gadot version of WW but a made for TV movie. A powerless Wonder Woman (as she was in the comics for a short time) goes against Ricardo Montalban. Cathie Lee Crosby plays Wonder Woman with elegance and charm. The movie is low budget to be sure, but taken for what it is it's enjoyable.
April 9
12. The Wind (1986) The crystalline-eyed Meg Foster stars as an author who goes to the windy coast of Greece, there she encounters a killer. Pretty standard slasher film. Foster's luminous eyes are the star here.
April 10
13. Moonfall (2022) The dialogue, the stupid story, the deplorable acting, the first movie in this challenge that I have not enjoyed.
April 11
14. Hercules and the Tyrants of Babylonia (1964) Peter Lupus billed as Rock Stevens stars as Hercules. The gorgeous Helga Liné is the evil antagonist.
