The Curator of Schlock #195: Life
The Curator of Schlock #195 by Jeff Shuster Life More like death, lots and lots of death. Welcome to week two of the Museum of Schlock’s Relativity Series, a range of exhibits that dare to ask what’s really out there. Each year Hollywood gives us some inspirational movie about NASA. Whether it’s Gravity, Interstellar, The… Continue reading

The Curator of Schlock #194: The Earth Dies Screaming
The Curator of Schlock #194 by Jeff Shuster The Earth Dies Screaming I guess this one doesn’t have a happy ending. I was at the Orlando Science Center a couple weeks back. While I busied myself with building a tall Popsicle stick tower, I tried selling a couple of visiting school children on The Museum… Continue reading

The Curator of Schlock #193: The Perfume of the Lady in Black
The Curator of Schlock #193 by Jeff Shuster The Perfume of the Lady in Black It ain’t CHANEL No. 5! We’re in week four of Giallo Month here at The Museum of Schlock.

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.

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. Maybe it’s my delicate sensibilities, but a movie where a ten-year-old boy gets shot and killed because of the decision of some old guys in a board room meeting… Continue reading

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
