The Curator of Schlock #199 by Jeff Shuster Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter Let’s just get this over with. Sigh. It’s Friday the 13th so I have to cover another Friday the 13th movie.

The Curator of Schlock #191: Black Belly of the Tarantula
The Curator of Schlock #191 by Jeff Shuster Black Belly of the Tarantula Another score by Morricone? He’s the James Patterson of film composers!

The Curator of Schlock #189: Rambo III
The Curator of Schlock #189 by Jeff Shuster Rambo III Rambo versus the USSR! No blog last week. My MacBook power cord went kaput right before I started the review.

The Rogue’s Guide to Shakespeare on Film #59: Othello (1951)
59. Orson Welles’s Othello (1951) Orson Welles’s Othello opens with some weird music by Alberto Barbers and/or Angelo Francesco Lavagnino that splits the difference between a Modernist march and Gregorian chant during the funeral march of the Moor and Desdemona, with Iago brought along, caged in captivity, like some dolorous triumph. The tragic destinies are… Continue reading

The Curator of Schlock #187 by Jeff Shuster First Blood They’re not hunting him. He’s hunting them! Sorry if I freaked out a bit last week.
