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. Stop cropping the picture. I know some of these movies were shot in scope. Knock it off! HBO does this… Continue reading

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! Did any of you ever watch The Wonder Years, that stupid Jean Shepherd wannabe reminiscence show about three kids growing up in the 1960s, a time of turbulent change. There was the… Continue reading

The Curator of Schlock #190: Blood and Black Lace
The Curator of Schlock #190 by Jeff Shuster Blood & Black Lace Bava! Bava! Bava! It’s August. It’s hot out. I have to do a theme for this month. I know. Let’s do another Giallo Month. I think I read on a “Best Horror Movies for Summer” list somewhere that giallo movies are good for… Continue reading

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. This means no Rambo IV review this month. It’s like the fates are trying to prevent me from reviewing Rambo IV, the best Rambo movie. That’s the… Continue reading

The Curator of Schlock #188: Rambo: First Blood, Part II
The Curator of Schlock #188 by Jeff Shuster Rambo: First Blood Part II Rambo: First Blood Part II (It’s worth repeating.) Oh, I hit pay dirt with this one. I’ve said it before, but I’ll say it again. We don’t do namby-pamby movies here at the Museum of Schlock. What does namby-pamby mean? It’s an… Continue reading

The Curator of Schlock #187: First Blood
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.

The Curator of Schlock #186: Kidnap Syndicate
The Curator of Schlock #186 by Jeff Shuster Kidnap Syndicate And I thought last week’s movie was depressing. I am in a bad way this week. When you start bashing your head into the bathroom mirror and actually grin as the blood trickles from the cuts on your forehead, it may be time to give… Continue reading

The Curator of Schlock #185: Shoot First, Die Later
The Curator of Schlock #185 by Jeff Shuster Shoot First, Die Later Crime doesn’t pay! I’ve been criticized over the fact that I choose too many violent pictures for this blog. Hey, I don’t choose violent movies. Violent movies choose me. That being said, I’m willing to switch things up for one night. How about… Continue reading

The Curator of Schlock #184: Stunt Squad
The Curator of Schlock #184 by Jeff Shuster Stunt Squad And the crowd goes wild. We’ve covered vigilante movies on this blog before. We know the basic premise. Crime is out control. The justice system is either anemic or is actually complicit in rising crime. An honest citizen stands up and takes the law into… Continue reading

The Curator of Schlock #183: Meet Him and Die
The Curator of Schlock #183 by Jeff Shuster Meet Him and Die How about I don’t meet him? Who comes up with these titles? Seriously, when I think of meeting someone for the first time, my imminent death isn’t what springs to mind. Then again, I wasn’t living in Italy during the 1970s. Maybe a… Continue reading
