Movie: Zombie Flesh Eaters (1979) 63/100 Very gratuitous, flatly acted movie but with some scenes with flair

Posted on October 27, 2013 by GoodBadAndOdd

Zombie Flesh Eaters aka Zombi 2 (1979) From what I’ve read of it, this one seems somewhat overrated, but it does have its moments. Apparently marketed as some sort of sequel to Dawn of the Dead in some places, these … Continue reading →

Movie: Flavia the Heretic (1974) 60/100 Can’t quite decide if it’s art or trash, but winceingly entertaining whatever

Posted on October 27, 2013 by GoodBadAndOdd

Flavia The Heretic (1974) Either the movie, or I, can’t decide whether it’s art with a political/feminist agenda, or sleazy eurotrash. It has artistic bits (some of the imagery, especially one very distinctive scene of a naked woman climbing inside … Continue reading →

Movie: Les Diaboliques/Diabolique 68/100 Highly regarded French thriller that’s too wordy by half

Posted on October 25, 2013 by GoodBadAndOdd

Les Diaboliques/Diabolique 68/100 Highly regarded French thriller that I think owes its reputation to being in the right time and place. It was, I understand, the first foreign language mainstream hit in America in 1955. Frankly, it seems overwordy and … Continue reading →

Movie: Horror Hotel (aka City of the Dead) 74/100 Rather fine, striking horror movie from 1960 that has strangely parallel plot-beats with Psycho

Posted on October 24, 2013 by GoodBadAndOdd

Horror Hotel (aka City of the Dead) (1960) Rather fine short horror movie, made in the UK with the actors doing American accents. A great beginning with the witchiest-looking witch you ever saw (well, without green makeup at least), atmospheric … Continue reading →

Movie: Nosferatu The Vampire 90/100 Deeply enthralling, but with some baffling casting choices that add to the weirdness

Posted on October 23, 2013 by GoodBadAndOdd

Nosferatu The Vampire (1979) Directed by Werner Herzog, and some of its hazy, dreamy shots and atmosphere reminiscent of other Herzog movies such as Aguirre, this will bore some and entrall others. It enthralled me, but it is glacially slow … Continue reading →

Star Trek (The Original Series) The Man Trap SEASON 1, EPISODE 01

Posted on August 26, 2013 by GoodBadAndOdd

Wiki Entry: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Man_Trap Reasonable, but not outstanding, episode, chosen by the TV executives as the one to open the series. There’s been debate why they chose this, as it’s not quite as exciting as some of the other early episodes … Continue reading →
