The Curator of Schlock #265: The Professional: Golgo 13
The Professional: Golgo 13 Sex & Violence: The Motion Picture I was on a James Bond kick around the same time I started getting into state of the art Japanese animation. Naturally, I wanted these two interests to converge in the form of an anime that resembled a Bond film. Eventually, I would discover Lupin the… Continue reading

The Curator of Schlock #264: Lily C.A.T.
The Curator of Schlock #264 by Jeff Shuster Lily C.A.T. Not for kids. Streamline Pictures was instrumental in bringing state of the art Japanese animation to the United States back in the early 90s. It wasn’t marketed as anime like it is now. There was no existing audience for Japanese animation like there is today.… Continue reading

The Curator of Schlock #263: Alita: Battle Angel
The Curator of Schlock #263 by Jeff Shuster Alita: Battle Angel I liked it. I’ve got nothing prepared this week. Digging up schlock from decades upon decades of film is hard work. I took a break and went to movies, went to check out the latest James Cameron milestone, Alita: Battle Angel. Not that James Cameron… Continue reading

The Curator of Schlock #262: Hell Night
The Curator of Schlock #262 by Jeff Shuster Hell Night Pray for day! I keep thinking I’ve covered Hell Night. This would have seemed like the perfect movie to review when I was a younger Curator of Schlock, all bright-eyed and bushy-tailed. It’s got Linda Blair in it. She plays the final girl. This is a… Continue reading

The Curator of Schlock #261: The Prowler
The Curator of Schlock #261 by Jeff Shuster The Prowler Pitchforks are painful! Yay. It’s February, which means another week of slasher movies. I suppose I’ll continue the trend of slasher movies set on college campuses. And tonight’s movie has a bit of romance going for it, perfect for Valentine’s Day. How was your Valentine’s Day?… Continue reading

The Curator of Schlock #260 by Jeff Shuster Final Exam Cheaters never prosper! Anyone out there ever have the final exam dream? It usually goes like this: it’s the end of the semester, you’ve done really well in four out of the five classes you registered for this semester, but there’s that one class you… Continue reading

The Curator of Schlock #259: The House on Sorority Row
The Curator of Schlock #259 by Jeff Shuster The House on Sorority Row Don’t throw your KFC in the swimming pool! Back in October, I partook in a special screening of The House on Sorority Row at my local Regal Cinemas. I wanted to know what it would be like to see an 80s slasher movie for… Continue reading

The Curator of Schlock #258: Manhattan Baby
The Curator of Schlock #258 by Jeff Shuster Manhattan Baby There’s no baby in this motion picture. We haven’t covered a Lucio Fulci movie in awhile. This is a crying shame that will now be rectified. Italy’s Maestro of Madness deserves an entire wing in The Museum of Schlock. Today’s exhibit is 1982’s Manhattan Baby. It’s… Continue reading

The Curator of Schlock #257: Brightburn Trailer
The Curator of Schlock #257 by Jeff Shuster Brightburn Trailer Leave Superman alone. Just leave him alone. I don’t typically review trailers. What’s in a trailer, honestly? False advertising? Sure. Remember how excited you got after watching the trailer for Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace? Did that movie live up to the trailer? No.… Continue reading

The Curator of Schlock #256: Venom
The Curator of Schlock #256 by Jeff Shuster Venom The villain is the hero. In other news, 2 +2 = 3 because Sony says so! I think I have a movie pitch I’d like to send over to the brass over at Sony Pictures: Snickers: The Movie. I think there’s a lot of potential in this… Continue reading
