YouTube video by Cohen Film Collection LURED (1947) - Trailer

As I headlined in my review of Lured, Karloff (while quite good) is not a major part of this movie. Fans take note.

A ★★★★ review of Lured (1947) Warning to Karloff fans: While Lured is a delightful mystery-thriller and Karloff is great in it, he's an early red herring only in two adjoining scenes. Granted, Karloff is featured in the most surre...

"What was a really delightful surprise was the casting of George Zucco against type as droll but heroic policeman who is equally at ease trading funny barbs with Ball or giving villains a sock to the jaw... Why couldn't Zucco have gotten more plum roles like this one?" boxd.it/d3vjU1 #FilmSky

A ★★★★★ review of Chain Reactions (2024) Chain Reactions is about more than The Texas Chain Saw Massacre. It's about more than horror movies. It's even more than about cinema. It's about art itself, how we find art, and how in turn, art disc...

"... about how you look at movies and how those same movies look back into you. Art affects you, cinema impacts you, and horror movies can change you forever in wonderful, weird, unexpected, and disturbing ways." boxd.it/d3tdV9

Tatsuya Nakadai as the protagonist of The Human Condition trilogy, in a scene where he is near to freezing to death, with the current local weather superimposed: 4° Clear Feels like -16°

When people apologize for voting for a obviously racist, sexist, lying, grifting, raping, pedophile felon... I want to hear more than apologies.

A ★★★★★ review of I Am a Fugitive from a Chain Gang (1932) Time hasn't reduced the devastating power of I Was A Fugitive From A Chain Gang, an unflinching indictment of prison brutality and a system that functions to always give part of our society no hope, n...

"I Was A Fugitive From A Chain Gang hit me hard. Paul Muni captures a raw hopelessness in his close-ups, that of a man who realizes that the system will never fully get its collective boot off of his neck... There's no hope, no chance, no nothing. Just darkness."

A ★★★½ review of Mercy, the Mummy Mumbled (1918) As long as you're prepared for a level of film damage that makes it more of a rescue than a restoration, Mercy The Mummy Mumbled is a funny early example of a horror comedy, even though there's nothin...

"A historical artifact of black movies made for black audiences, Mercy tells the story of a little con job put on a somewhat mad scientist in order to get his blessing of marriage to his daughter."

A pair of underachieving 1940s PRC cheapies starring George Zucco, a 108 year old 11 minute Mummy horror comedy, & an early 30s prison escape classic that is still unfortunately all-too-relevant today.

The image features a person standing on a dimly lit stage. They are wearing a dark suit and glasses, holding a microphone in their right hand. The background is mostly dark, accentuating the person who is illuminated by a soft light from above. The individual appears to be speaking, and they have a light expression on their face. Below the person, there is a block of text in white on the dark background. Alt-text: Person on stage holding a microphone with text below. Transcribed Text: “We are storytelling animals. We are right now in a world that is telling us the wrong stories constantly and half-fragmented truths. It’s a very dangerous moment, precisely for narrative reasons.”

I’m glad GDT is part of our environment right now.

A ★★ review of The Black Raven (1943) George Zucco is front and center of another PRC Poverty Row cheapie, but this time in a heroic role. He plays the sharp but shady manager of The Black Raven, a small hotel near the US/Canadian border,...

"George Zucco is front and center of another PRC Poverty Row cheapie, but this time in a heroic role... always being the smartest person in the room, dishing out plenty of sardonic asides and standing up for the innocent, a type that Zucco is perfect to play." boxd.it/cZOUnP

A ★★★★½ review of If I Had Legs I'd Kick You (2025) Linda is sinking. Linda is gasping. Linda is screaming. Linda can never have a moment to herself. Yet, Linda is completely alone. In If I Had Legs I'd Kick You, Linda is doing double duty as both a th...

"If I Had Legs I Would Kick You is extremely funny about things that you really don't feel like laughing about... a nervous breakdown fed intravenously into the pit of your stomach. We're all Linda once in a while. But only briefly. Linda is Linda every single second."

I never get tired of pointing out that this was my first Malcolm McDowell film, that I worshipped his unlikely & noble hero as a kid, and had a hell of a culture shock when I got around to other McDowell movies.

Three rules in FBI firearm training:

1. Always point your weapon downrange
2. Do not point your weapon at anything you do not intend to shoot
3. Don’t put your finger on the trigger unless you intend to shoot

Guns are not for threatening compliance for unarmed people doing things you don’t like

You know, I'd probably be into baseball if they got Brian De Palma to direct it more often.

Yoooo tell me a dude didn’t see WEAPONS without telling me a dude didn’t see WEAPONS
