The Curator of Schlock #192: Crimes of the Black Cat
The Curator of Schlock #192 by Jeff Shuster Crimes of the Black Cat There should have been a clown in this one. Okay. I’ve got a beef with whoever is streaming these Italian movies on Amazon.

The Rogue’s Guide to Shakespeare on Film #59: Othello (1951)
59.

Pensive Prowler #8: Alienating the Alien

The Curator of Schlock #176: Resident Evil Afterlife
The Curator of Schlock #176 by Jeff Shuster Resident Evil: Afterlife Still no kung Fu zombies! Was it too much for Paul W.S. Anderson to cast Donnie Yen in a Resident Evil movie, have him get zombified, so we could have a kung Fu zombie fight scene with Milla Jovovich? Was that too much to ask? We’re… Continue reading
