The Terrible Claw Reviews: Wicker Man, The (1973)
http://deinonychusreviews.blogspot.com/2015/05/wicker-man-1973.html
The Terrible Claw Reviews. Friday, May 1, 2015. Wicker Man, The (1973). It's difficult to define exactly what a "cult classic" is because the term has been applied and misapplied so often. Usually, though, a cult classic is defined by two common traits: first, it tends to have an obsessive and devoted fanbase, hence the "cult" qualifier; and second, it was not a financial success at the time of its release. I won't go into the whole sordid story here, but The Wicker Man. A restored version made from a te...

The Terrible Claw Reviews: The Last Dinosaur (1977)
http://deinonychusreviews.blogspot.com/2013/12/the-last-dinosaur-1977.html
The Terrible Claw Reviews. Wednesday, December 25, 2013. The Last Dinosaur (1977). Dinosaurs are awesome. Every kid knows this, though a lot of adults forget for some reason. Dinosaurs are so awesome that we, as a species, cannot seem to accept that something so awesome could cease to exist. Surely our world is big enough that somewhere, somehow, the dinosaurs have just been waiting for us to find them again. Special and gave us a mostly faithful adaptation of The Hobbit. Ever produced and technically be...

The Terrible Claw Reviews: At The Earth's Core (1976) [Friday Fakeosaurus February]
http://deinonychusreviews.blogspot.com/2015/02/at-earths-core-1976-friday-fakeosaurus.html
The Terrible Claw Reviews. Friday, February 6, 2015. At The Earth's Core (1976) [Friday Fakeosaurus February]. The trouble with an undertaking like HubrisWeen. Is that, afterwards, you feel a bit too drained to do much of anything else. November was a wasteland, December just barely got its Christmas review, and it took me a month to write my review of King Kong Escapes. And I've seen that movie enough times to have its plot memorized! Then it hit me: Fakeosaurus February! No concerns of racism necessary!

Resurrecting the Cold War in order to beat it to death with a shovel. Sunday, March 31, 2013. Written and directed by Steve De Jarnatte. Anthony Edwards: Harry Washello. Mare Winningham: Julie Peters. And one of the best B-List casts of ever: John Agar, Lou Hancock, Mykelti Williamson, Kurt Fuller, Denise Crosby, Earl Boen, Brian Thompson, Jenette Goldstein and Robert Doqui (the police sergeant from the. Movies) as a diner cook. If Dick Miller was in this they would have had the full set. The movie start...

The Writing on the Walls: November 2014
http://fadedadart.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
The Writing on the Walls. Advertisements from yester-year and ghost signs around Cincinnati: If they're not fading away, they're covered up, or the buildings they're on are torn down. Tuesday, November 25, 2014. Again with the Sign Museum. Inside the American Sign Museum. There are curated signs. Outside, the signs roam freely. The Southern Ohio College was acquired by Brown Mackie. Not even our Western Field Agent, D.L. Hudson, has been able to uncover facts about the Cincinnati Sampling Company. I'm sh...

Checkpoint Telstar: HubrisWeen 2, Day 2: The Bay (2012)
http://checkpoint-telstar.blogspot.com/2014/10/hubrisween-2-day-2-bay-2012.html
Resurrecting the Cold War in order to beat it to death with a shovel. Tuesday, October 7, 2014. HubrisWeen 2, Day 2: The Bay (2012). Story by Barry Levinson and Michael Wallach; Screenplay by Michael Wallach. Directed by Barry Levinson. Stephen Kunken: Dr. Abrams. Frank Deal: Mayor Stockman. Michael Beasley: Officer Jimson. One to do something original. That's actually a lot harsher judgment than this film deserves. But the general point still stands- after the worldwide smash success of the first Bl...

The Writing on the Walls: January 2015
http://fadedadart.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
The Writing on the Walls. Advertisements from yester-year and ghost signs around Cincinnati: If they're not fading away, they're covered up, or the buildings they're on are torn down. Friday, January 30, 2015. Our ever-sharp eyed Western Field Office Operative, Mr. D. Hudson sent these from Gothenburg, Nebraska. Gambles, as I recall, was a hardware-oriented department store chain in the upper Midwest. Mr Hudson was kind enough to send this capture from Google Street View as well, to aid in viewing:.

Cinemasochist Apocalypse: Millennium Bug (2011)
http://cinemasochistapocalypse.blogspot.com/2015/06/millennium-bug-2011.html
Agonizing, horrible DEATH! Monday, June 15, 2015. Written by: Kenneth Cran. Directed by: Kenneth Cran. Jessica Simons as Joany Haskin. Christine Haeberman as Clarissa Haskin. John Charles Meyer as Billa Crawford. Up on the screen! It's a backwoods horror movie! It's a kaiju movie! It's an 80's shot-on-video splatterfest! It's all of those things! Byron Haskin (and if that's not an intentional reference to the director of. War of the Worlds. I'll eat my copy of. War of the Worlds. 8221;). It proves to...

Seeker of Schlock: January 2017
http://seekerofschlock.blogspot.com/2017_01_01_archive.html
Finding precious artifacts at the bottom of the barrel. Sunday, January 29, 2017. B-Fest 2017: They Live, We Watch 24 Hours of Schlock. The vacation I always look forward to was a much needed relief this year, especially after the election and the overall shitty year that 2016 was, news wise. Hercules In New York (1969)-. This was the second year in a row where a Hercules film kicked off the lineup and it's definitely the weaker of the two. While The Adventures of Hercules. The Magic Sword (1962)-. It's ...

The Terrible Claw Reviews: Carnosaur 2 (1995)
http://deinonychusreviews.blogspot.com/2014/07/carnosaur-2-1995.html
The Terrible Claw Reviews. Monday, July 28, 2014. Roger Corman is a legend for many, many reasons. One such reason is his unerring ability to cash in on a new, popular film in a way that The Asylum can't even dream of. Sure, cashing in on Snakes On A Plane. By making a movie called Snakes On A Train. Is kind of brilliant- but that's nothing compared to how Corman responded to Jurassic Park. Not only did Corman recognize the hit potential of Jurassic Park. Of one of Jurassic Park. Now, Carnosaur 2. The cr...
