TODAY’S FORGOTTEN TELEVISION TREASURE: CROSSBOW (1987-1990)

The series starred Will Lyman as the crossbow- wielding Tell and Jeremy Clyde (of Chad and Jeremy fame) as Gessler, the tyrant Tell opposed during the Swiss Uprising against the Austrians in the 14th Century. Each episode featured Continue reading

CANTO IV – Hung Vuong XVIII regarded the two remaining competitors for Mi Nuong’s hand with glee.

BAD MOVIE PAGE: THE WEREWOLF OF WOODSTOCK (1972)
No, not The Werewolf Of Washington, which is a whole other movie, but The Werewolf of Woodstock, site of the famous multi-day music festival in 1969 New York. Enjoy this atrocious attempt at a rock’n’roll horror film. And for more bad movie reviews click here: https://glitternight.com/bad-movies/

The story begins the night after the conclusion of 1969′s Woodstock music festival when a grumpy old man who hates rock music and young people goes to the litter-strewn remnants of the outdoor concert looking for “hippies” to harass.
This act is even dumber than it first sounds when you consider that just a bit earlier he and another resident of Woodstock were discussing how all the concertgoers are “long gone”. While trashing some of the metal stage equipment Continue reading

Day two of the NAIA basketball tournament is under way with games in the books already. If you’re not familiar with the NAIA tournament they play all their games at one venue, that is why they start so early and go on until late at night.
