FLASHBACK: MORE OF 2019’s ANTI-TRUMP LIES AND HYSTERIA

BAD MOVIE REVIEW: ZERO TO SIXTY (1978) WITH DARREN MCGAVIN AND JOAN COLLINS

ZERO TO SIXTY (1978) – Want to see Darren McGavin of all people bare his butt for the camera in two separate scenes? Want to see Darren McGavin getting his bare butt spanked by the Hudson Brothers in one of those scenes? Want to see Darren McGavin in sex scenes with Joan Collins at her smoking hot best?

Usually, you’d have me at the words “Want to see Darren McGavin” because I’m a huge fan of the guy. And not just as Carl Kolchak in The Night Stalker but most of his big-screen work and small-screen work from the 1950s onward. Well, I finally met a Darren McGavin movie I wasn’t ready for.

Zero to Sixty was produced by McGavin’s wife Kathie Browne and directed by Psychotronic Hall of Famer Don Weis. As I watched Darren in screwball car chases and in scenes full of “comedy” that wouldn’t have made the cut in one of Burt Reynolds’ Cannonball Run movies I was having trouble getting my head around what I was seeing.

During a scene in which McGavin pretends to be wetting himself I think I began babbling “But … but … that’s Darren McGavin.” Believe it or not, Denise Nickerson – Violet Beauregard from Willy Wonka – playing an underaged Car Repossession Agent helped bring things into focus for me.      Continue reading

MORE SILENT MOVIES FROM CUBA (1908-1913)

Last March Balladeer’s Blog examined several pioneering silent movies made in Cuba, from Havana’s Fire Drill (1897) – the very first Cuban-made film – to 1901 coverage of the Constitutional Assembly, to 1906 film footage of the religious festival La Tutelar de Guanabacoa, which could be openly celebrated back then.

Wrapping up the nine shorts was Cuba’s first horror film – 1907’s La Leyenda del Guije del Rio Sagua – about an evil man being transformed into a clawed, hairy monster called a guije.

A TOURIST IN HAVANA (1908) – A documentary short depicting the sights to be seen by tourists in 1908 Havana. The director was Enrique Diaz Quesada, who founded the first film studio in Cuba alongside his brother Juan. This short debuted on September 15th at Havana’s Payret Theater.   

EL CABILDO DE NACION ROMUALDA (1908) – Another Quesada short, this one capturing a publicly performed Cabildo Afro-Cuban religious ceremony. Such Cabildos dated back centuries and originated as figurative “bread and circuses” for the Cuban slave population, but they also preserved songs, dances, chants and drum music dedicated to the deities that had been worshipped back in Africa. No copies of this movie have survived. The work was filmed at a garden in the Esquina de Tejas. Pepe Acosta produced.

RESTORATION OF THE REPUBLIC (1909) – Part of the silent newsreel series Cuba al Dia, this covered the departure from Cuba of the disgraced and corrupt Provisional Governor Charles E. Magoon.

INAUGURATION OF PRESIDENT GENERAL JOSE MIGUEL GOMEZ (1909) – Another newsreel, this one filming the inauguration of Magoon’s elected successor.

JUAN JOSE (1910) – First filmed version of the irreverent Spanish satirical play of the same name written in 1895 by Joaquin Dicenta. The storyline involved a worker fighting with his employer over a woman they both love. This 1910 production ran 16 minutes and starred Boffield Garrido.        Continue reading

R.I.P. CHUCK NORRIS: MY FAVORITE FILMS

With the passing of the iconic Chuck Norris I’m taking a look at my favorite films of his. I was never the biggest Norris fan, so this list is purely from the perspective of a casual fan.

I’m such a casual fan, in fact, that I wasn’t going to do an R.I.P. post about him but I decided to do one based on the vicious attacks on the late Norris by deranged Democrats who always tell the rest of us to “separate the art from the artist” when their celebrities are criticized in any way.

INVASION USA (1985) – Psychotronic cinema in its purest form, Invasion USA was so firmly in the realm of fantasy that it’s ridiculous that some critics tore into it so deeply. The same type of critics probably loved the pretentious One Battle After Another, which was basically Invasion USA in reverse. 

Norris starred as former intelligence agent Matt Hunter, who gets called back into action when a communist army from Cuba invades Florida under the leadership of Hunter’s old archenemy – Soviet Union agent Rostov, played by cult actor Richard Lynch.

Matt is among the people fighting back against the communist invaders in escapist, over the top action scenes. Anti-Castro Cubans fight the invaders in alliance with our main character. Red Dawn was too juvenile in my opinion, so I much prefer this Norris flick.

There are lots of Christmas decorations on display since the film is set during Yuletide. Invasion USA was therefore part of my “Very Butt-Kicking Christmas Marathon” years ago alongside Die Hard, Lethal Weapon and Die Hard 2.    Continue reading
