The Curator of Schlock #376: Evil Dead Burn
I did something kind of weird a few weeks ago. I ventured out to a movie theater. These are places where you purchase a ticket to watch a newly released movie projected onto a big screen. You can buy popcorn or other snacks and sit in a big comfy chair. I think I bought a… Continue reading

The Curator of Schlock #375: Evil Dead Rise
I guess I have to do this. I have to review 2023’s Evil Dead Rise from director Lee Cronin. I have no idea if this is a sequel to the 2013 Evil Dead or if this takes place in the original trilogy starring Bruce Campbell or if this is the start of a whole new Evil Dead Universe. I… Continue reading

The Curator of Schlock #374: Evil Dead (2013)
I know I covered the Evil Dead movies a couple of years ago, but we now have three post-Ash Williams (Bruce Campbell) Evil Dead movies that have been produced and spat out into theaters. We’ll begin with 2013’s Evil Dead from director Fede Álvarez, a remake of the original movie. Don’t let “remake” scare you off. This one’s actually pretty good.… Continue reading

The Curator of Schlock #373: Out of Bounds
Well, that was a bad idea. Never try to organize a prize fight between a kangaroo and gorilla and expect the gorilla to play ball. Morrie, the Gorilla, leaped out the ring and wreaked havoc all over the Museum of Schlock. The exhibition on Menahem’s Golan’s The Apple is in tatters. Catherine Mary Stewart’s silver boots alone… Continue reading

The Curator of Schlock #372: Pee Wee’s Big Adventure
A Happy 4th of July to all the many patrons of the Museum of Schlock. We’ll be having an outside prize fight between Edwige, my kangaroo companion from my misadventures in North America, and a gorilla named Morrie on loan from a local crypto bro. We’ll have free firecrackers for the kids. Buy one, get one… Continue reading

The Curator of Schlock #371: Free Hand for a Tough Cop
What was the deal with perms for men in the 1970s? Who thought this was a good idea? I’m trying not to be judgmental. After all, I’m a Curator of Schlock. Let your freak flag fly as far as I’m concerned, but did you ever think of the consequences? I’m sure Bob Ross thought it… Continue reading

The Curator of Schlock #370: Syndicate Sadists
How about Nic Cage as “the Spider”? Yes, it’s cool that we have a Spider-Man set in 1930s New York and played by Nic Cage who spends more time getting sloshed rather than wearing the mask. I even like the fact that you can watch this show in black and white. So, yeah, Spider-Noir is a winner.… Continue reading

The Curator of Schlock #369: Almost Human
I suppose if I could time travel to any period, it would be Italy in the 1970s. What the blazes was going in that country? Years back, I bought some vinyl records titled Criminale and their slipcases are so bizarre. Look at this one. Do you know what’s going on? That lady doesn’t seem to be having… Continue reading

The Curator of Schlock #378: Time Bandits
The things we watch as kids. Oliver! often made the rounds in my parents’ VCR. It taught me many things such as not asking for more gruel from a portly man wearing a Napoleon hat. He will sing a song about how awful you are in front of the other orphans. Then he’ll take you out in… Continue reading

The Curator of Schlock #367: Labyrinth
I have to confess something. I don’t have rose colored glasses when it comes to the 1980s. It was the age of Care Bears, Rainbow Brite, and Herself the Elf. Also, don’t get me started on Cabbage Patch Kids. I found them disgusting then. I find them disgusting now. I didn’t like cute things. I liked monsters. Fortunately, tonight’s… Continue reading
