The Curator of Schlock #32: Warwick Davis is The Leprechaun
The Curator of Schlock #32 by Jeffrey Shuster Warwick Davis is The Leprechaun Here’s your stupid Leprechaun review! I know St. Patty’s day was on Monday, so this review is late. I don’t care. Do you know why? Leprechaun ain’t that good. The movie starts out with an Irishman by the name of Daniel O’Grady Continue reading

The Curator of Schlock #30: Slumming Through Oscar Nominees
The Curator of Schlock #30 by Jeffrey Shuster Slumming Through Oscar Nominees A funny thing happened in the middle of my typing up my review for Battle Beyond the Stars last week. My MacBook Pro Air laptop thingamagig died on me. So Space Opera month got officially ruined and my MacBook is still in limbo Continue reading

The Curator of Schlock #29: Star Trek: The Motion Picture
The Curator of Schlock #29 by Jeffrey Shuster Star Trek: The Motion Picture (Back when motion pictures had motion pictures in the title!) This is a bad film. I know Star Trek: The Motion Picture has its defenders and to them I would ask, “What is wrong with you?” Yes, the model work is impressive Continue reading

The Curator of Schlock #28: Lensman
The Curator of Schlock #28 by Jeffrey Shuster Lensman, Long Lost Anime. We continue Space Opera month with Lensman, the 1984 Japanese animated adaptation of the classic science fiction novel Galactic Patrol by E. E. “Doc” Smith. Let’s get this out of the way right now.

The Curator of Schlock #27: Starcrash
The Curator of Schlock #27 by Jeffrey Shuster Starcrash (Effects Matter!) It’s Space Opera month here at The Museum of Schlock, and by Space Opera I mean Star Wars rip-offs from the 70s and 80s. Still, a movie half as good of Star Wars is still good, right? Exhibit A is 1978’s Starcrash starring Caroline Continue reading

The Curator of Schlock #25: Savage Streets
The Curator of Schlock #25 by Jeffrey Shuster Savage Streets (Linda Blair has awesome big hair!) What’s this? A female vigilante? That’s right, everyone. Linda Blair can stand toe to toe with the Charles Bronsons and Dolph Lundgrens of the world and towers above the Tom Skerritts. It’s time for Savage Streets! 1984’s Savage Streets from Continue reading

The Curator of Schlock #24: The Punisher
The Curator of Schlock #24 by Jeffrey Shuster The Punisher: Send in the Yakuza! If any vigilante can give Paul Kersey a run for his money, it’s Frank Castle, AKA The Punisher. Based on the Marvel comic book of the same name, 1989’s The Punisher from director Mark Goldblatt is an exercise in excess, but we Continue reading

The Curator of Schlock #23: Fighting Back
The Curator of Schlock #23 by Jeffrey Shuster Fighting Back … Against Insomnia Yawn. All vigilante movies aren’t created equal. You’d think 1982’s Fighting Back from director Lewis Teague would be a contender with the likes of Death Wish 3 and Vigilante with that fancy black and white poster featuring an angry Tom Skerritt pointing Continue reading

The Curator of Schlock #22: A Whole Lot of Vigilantism Going On!
The Curator of Schlock #22 by Jeffrey Shuster Vigilante: A Whole Lot of Vigilantism Going On! It’s come to my attention that I haven’t been covering enough vigilante films on this blog of mine. So without further ado, I announce that January is Vigilante Month here at The Museum of Schlock, and what better film to Continue reading
