Jazz (2oo1)

I Saw A Miniseries! There isn't a topic I wouldn't enjoy Ken Burns giving his attention to. In an age where homogenization and also, contrarily, a powerful need to establish identity, coexist to create volatile schizophrenia in our culture, it's a pleasure to have a paramount and in depth historical review of where aspects of…

Equalizer 2000 (1987)

I Saw A Film! Or did I? While I did sit through this thing, so little of it stuck to any of my neurons that I feel like I possibly found watching some dust settling more compelling. This is yet another post-apocalypse "Road Warrior" spin-off, this time directed by Cirio Santiago (so expect his countrymen…

The Louisiana Hussy (1959)

I Saw A Film! In the swamps of Louisiana, a pair of brothers work at using the resources of nature from their floating platform. An interesting sequence of them collecting Spanish Moss using long pole hooks was a curiosity I'd never witnessed, I still do not know what the piles of Spanish Moss, growing from…

The Horrors of Spider Island (1960)

I Saw A Film! A man-fantasy about being stranded with a bevy of lovely show dancers on a deserted island after their burning and nose-diving plane crashes, is hilariously punctuated with girl-fights and an oversized "spider" capable of turning people into spider-men with its venom. The film itself has not aged well, the resolution and…

Vicious Lips (1986)

I Saw A Film! Too often, when we imagine the future, we end up even more steeped in our current fashion and style. Very few films manage to break that mold. Dune created a whole universe, and to a great extent so did Blade Runner. These films didn't just exaggerate the current look and feel,…

Candy (1968)

I Saw A Film! When you're looking at a cutie like Ewa Aulin, a sweet-faced, blonde blue-eyed exaggeratedly innocent-looking Olympic beauty you're basically ready to watch her do most anything. What is delivered is a really fun, if at times a little obviously male-fetishy, absurdist collage of playful events that Ewa as Candy, must navigate…

Humanoids From the Deep (1980)

I Saw A Film! The trailer of this film definitely evoked far more allure and excitement than the actual product, though, the product isn't terrible! However, there are many long segments mainly of Doug McClure wandering around in a down vest and pointing out grossly mangled dog corpses. The story is basically about a new…

My Mushroom Ebook – GET IT HERE!

Also some of you know I am a wild mushroom aficionado and I put together a book of my photos and IDs and a bit of knowledge. It's in PDF format so basically good for the majority of devices. The book is arranged mostly alphabetically for the species, but sections are arranged mainly by ease…

Jail Bait (1954)

I Saw A Film! An old Ed Wood special. Heavy on the discussion and low on the activity. A young man falls into a life of crime with his "heater" or "rod" and a charming lout. Family and friends warn of the likelihood of his ending up in prison or worse. It isn't long before…

Conquest (1983)

I Saw a Film! A couple of Italian body builders have to fight an army of Italian orcs, well, furry guys anyway, sent by a powerful dark Italian witch (wearing a kind of Greek bronze helmet but otherwise nothing else) who spends much of her time squirming around with constrictors, to save the world from…
