  • The Super Inframan

    The Super Inframan

    Inframan is, in many ways, a perfect film, in that it is resoundingly successful in achieving what it sets out to do. Every one of its scenes could be bullet-pointed with the word “SEE!” in front of it. more ›

  • The Return of Captain Invincible

    The Return of Captain Invincible

    A washed-up, alcoholic superhero must pull himself out of depression to defeat Christopher Lee in one of cinema’s first deconstructions of comic book superheroes. It also happens to be a musical. more ›

  • Face of Eve

    If jungle adventure movies have taught us anything, it’s that modern man, with all his so-called “refinement” and “civilization”, is the most dangerous animal of all. Even though those city folk ultimately fall prey to quicksand, cannibals, and hungry wild… more ›

  • Cazadores de Espias

    The Mexican film industry’s contributions to the 1960s spy craze tend to be on the whimsical side. Given the overall zany-ness of the field, then, I do not say lightly that Cazadores de Espias maybe the silliest of them all. more ›

  • Some Girls Do

    Some Girls Do is the second attempt to bring Bulldog Drummond into the late twentieth century, and if you enjoyed Deadlier than the Male, there is no reason why you wouldn’t enjoy this one as well. more ›

  • Kara Murat Fatihin Fermani

    Kara Murat Fatihin Fermani

    Kara Murat Fatihin Fermani, though a little rough around the edges, is still an incredibly enjoyable film, full of Cuneyt Arkin doing somersaults over his enemies and flinging scimitars across a room with deadly accuracy. more ›

  • Francoise Hardy: Midnight Blues

    Francoise Hardy: Midnight Blues

    Francoise Hardy may have been the most stereotypically French of the Yē-Yē girls: Aloof, sophisticated and beautifully melancholy. Nevertheless, her sound was one that was largely made in England. more ›

  • Trip To Moon

    Trip To Moon

    Dara Singh had played Tarzan, Hercules, Samson, James Bondian secret agents, Zorro-inspired masked vigilantes, and swashbuckling pirates in frilly shirts. But one thing he had yet to play was a heroic, planet-hopping space adventurer. Trip To Moon would change all… more ›

  • Underworld Beauty

    Underworld Beauty

    Underworld Beauty is perhaps not as singular a viewing experience as Suzuki’s later, more idiosyncratic masterworks, but it is nonetheless noteworthy. more ›

  • Times Square

    There’s also a neat little XTC rarity, composed specifically for the film. Unfortunately, true to Robert Stigwood’s intent, this ends up being more of an argument for buying Times Square’s soundtrack than it does for watching the film itself. more ›

  • If Footmen Tire You, What Will Horses Do?

    Films such as Footmen, as mentioned before, would typically be shown in small churches, and would be followed by an altar call, during which those audience members who had yet to do so, shaken by what they had seen, would… more ›

  • Web of Death

    The Web of Death is one of those martial arts films in Chor Yuen’s catalog that is inessential, but nonetheless enjoyable. It provides a nice break for completists like myself, who have had to suffer through far worse in their… more ›
