And so, here we are, and the end of the countdown. I’ll be honest, there were days this month that I wasn’t sure we were going to make it. Not that I didn’t think Halloween would come, that was going to happen no matter what, obviously, just that I wasn’t actually going to ma read more

Kino Classic continues to champion the underdog with their recent Blu-rays, and while The Devil Bat isn’t necessarily worthy of the Blu-ray treatment, its heart is in the right place.  The Devil Bat’s greatest legacy is showcasing Bela Lugosi‘s limited range of characters and actin read more

The Devil and Miss Jones has three or four stages in the narrative, but director Sam Wood basically has three. The first phase–covering the first two narrative stages–feature this singular composition technique. For close-ups, Wood either gives his actors a lot of headroom (fifty percen read more

(Image via The Movie Title Stills Collection) J.P. Merrick (Charles Coburn) is a very rich and very grumpy department store owner.

Sylvia Walton travels from Harlem to Jamaica, where she has inherited a banana plantation. Sylvia has a half-sister named Isabelle who ran the plantation until her father’s death, but she was disinherited and there’s been no sign of her since the arrival in Jamaica. She isn’t incre read more

After two good movies I was bound to get one stinker; The Devil Is a Woman is less devilish fun and more outright demonic.  A cold presentation of the bitch that is supposedly the female sex, there’s little to recommend the film.  The same premise lifted from Morocco and Blonde Venus is turned read more

My rating —A Cult Classic—  Bogie Film Fix:  out of 5 Bogies! Director:  John Huston The Lowdown Four crooks (Humphrey Bogart, Robert Morley, Peter Lorre, and Marco Tulli) meet up with a British couple (Edward Underdown and Jennifer Jones) as they all make their way from Italy to East read more

Our pic today takes another look at Professor Petro, who confounds his students with a lecture on “Dali and the Power of the Fart” in The Devil’s Gas (1990), the short film directed by Timothy’s son Romeo. It was Tim’s last film performance. When I visited Tim’s read more

The Devil Is a Woman Directed by Josef von Sternberg 1935/USA Paramount Pictures First viewing     The film opens with a carnival in turn-of-the-century Spain, all the revelers are masked.  Antonio Galvan (Cesar Romero), a fugitive revolutionary, spies the beautiful Concha (Marlene Dietric read more

The World, the Flesh and the Devil (1959) I stumbled upon The World, the Flesh and the Devil several years ago on TCM in the middle of the airing. What I saw was a man arguing with a mannequin named Snotgrass. You can imagine I was intrigued and endured the remainder of a movie that eventually boil read more

Flesh And The Devil (1927) Silent movies are tricky to watch. I either have to be in the mood to watch one or I've got to really like the film's cast. Most of the time, I find them really slow and less engaging than sound pictures. But when the right one comes along, I ain't moving from that te read more

We continue our theme of Timothy looking scary for Halloween Week with this chiller from The Devil’s Gas (1990), the surreal short directed by his son Romeo. Professor Petro’s student is having a very strange hallucinatory dream… Or is he??? Tim looks like a Dia de los Muertos ske read more

The Devil Bat (1940) I have never found bats in themselves to be scary creatures. Their association with vampires drives a certain degree of fright, but you don’t often see movies about the rodent-sized flying creatures attacking people. The solution to the only moderate fear factor associate read more

Tod Browning, the horror director best remembered for classics like Dracula (1931) and Freaks (1932), also heads up the unusual 1936 thriller, The Devil-Doll, although the lurid title rather misleads the audience about the kind of movie on offer. In fact, this weird but compelling story features the read more

  Going newer with today’s film and I will say that opinions for this film is an alienating one.  People generally love it or hate it.  I love The House of the Devil but I know it’s filled with flaws and director Ti West has not done anything other than this that I’ve enjoyed. read more

Today we take another gander at Professor Petro, the very strange lecturer on “Dali and the Power of the Fart,” of Romeo Carey‘s The Devil’s Gas (1990). It was Timothy’s final film performance. Note the poster of Tim as Pvt. Ferol from Paths of Glory (1957) on the wall. read more
