Saturday Night at the Movies 1/31/15!

Who cares what picture we see?




I hope in my heart that Tiffany Bolling does, so I'm very pleased to make this tonight's choice...

I read about this movie in Leonard Maltin's TV Movies book way back in the day - he hated it and gave it a BOMB - but I was intrigued by his description of the movie. For the first - and to date, only - time, the new film experience "Anamorphic Duovision" was used to present a movie with two images going on at the same time. Sometimes you see the same scene from two angles - sometimes two different scenes going on concurrently - and sometimes flashbacks along with a current scene. Here's some pictures to illustrate, since they didn't show anything in the trailer:

I finally saw the movie on TCM - as the extremely widescreen presentation prevented the film having any second life on TV or home video back in the day with the old square screen TVs. I enjoyed the movie - and was very happy when it was added to the Warner Archive "Made on Demand" program. I just had one made up and sent to me for the video vault, and we could be checking out both sides of this movie - any time - even tonight, if you want to make the trip to come see me!

Maniacal Movie Poster Monday #200!

Wow! Two hundred entries in this weekly department! Six hundred movie posters (actually probably a few less as I'm sure there have been at least a few repeats). And although this says it posted Monday - I'm actually getting it up and running later in the week - as I finally solved the "can't upload picture" problem I'd been having for a couple of weeks.

So let's celebrate this milestone post with a theme week - 1 movie, 3 posters!





Pajama Party  (American International Pictures, 1964)

I like all of these posters - I like that Tommy Kirk is shirtless on the first - I like that he's trying to escape Annette in the second, considering his later lifestyle revelation - and the third becomes my favorite simply for having Eric Von Zipper pictured.

Saturday Night at the Movies 1/24/15!

Who cares what picture we see?


Martine Beswick most certainly would, so we will choose this one for tonight...

The fourth James Bond movie - and the first produced after the wild success of Goldfinger the previous year. Broccoli and Saltzman threw serious money into the production this time - and this truly is one of the biggest 007 movies.

Of course I love it and will watch it any time - and it resides in the video vault in the Bond 50 Blu-Ray set ready to spin - even tonight, if you care to come check it out with me!

Maniacal Movie Poster Monday #199!

As this post was delayed by my Blogger issues and now likely won't be much visited - I'm skipping the words to get on to the newer posts I need to get finished.

It's good to be back! Until next post, you Can Poke Me With A Fork, Cause I Am Outta Here!

Saturday Night at the Movies 1/17/15!

Who cares what picture we see?



Jay Richardson would - in his own way. So, let's make this the choice for this evening...



(By the way - this trailer is R rated - and is NSFW - so view at your own risk)

I first saw this on VHS way back when - and enjoyed the silly horror humor of it. It's got a great genre movie cast, plenty of nudity and violence - and a rockin' music score - what more could you ask of a movie?


I just added the limited edition autographed Blu-Ray to the video vault - and look forward to seeing this again in hi def - and you can join me if you like this very evening to watch it with me!

Celebrity Endorsement: Ari Lehman!

I somehow missed posting a Celebrity Endorsement in the month of January, so I'm adding one now - but since it will be buried in past posts - I'm going with a rerun - so here's our once and forever First Jason himself:

Thanks Mr. Lehman!

Maniacal Movie Poster Monday #198!

The Playmates  (Phantasy Films, 1973)

I don't feature much X rated stuff around the blog - but this is an awesome poster and I'm just boggling at the thought of 3-D porn...











The Bride and the Beast  (Allied Artists Pictures, 1958)

I saw this on the late show as a kid - but back then I didn't know who screenwriter Edward D. Wood Jr. was - now that I do I want to see this again!












The Invisible Woman  (Universal Studios, 1940)

When it was time for another Invisible movie - Universal swapped genders and tone - from the male and horror drama to the female and comedy. It's a nice change of pace for the unofficial series and well worth a watch.
