Novelisations of movies usually make for pretty poor reading, but this was excellent.

After initially signing up & having Marjoe Gortner cast, American International declined to release Starcrash when they saw the final cut. American International!!!

Roger Corman's New World picked it up & Starcrash became their biggest US box office to date.

Cozzi got his start with a Kodak Brownie camera, writing pieces for scifi magazines around the world & attending the Trieste International Science Fiction Film Festival, which awarded #Monsterdon "favourite" X: The Man With the X-Ray Eyes its 'Silver Spaceship' trophy.

#TIL two of my favourite 90s crime-with-comic-elements films, Miami Blues (1990) w/ #AlecBaldwin & #FredWard, & Grosse Pointe Blank (1997) w/ #JohnCusack & #MinnieDriver, had the same director, #GeorgeArmitage.

George also had a long history w/ #RogerCorman making sexploitation & blaxploitation films in the 70s. & TIL he passed away in Feb 2025.

I couldn't resist a Vincent Price #Bluray collection for $17 that included 4 of his Poe films with Corman and two of his later cult classic British films, plus a bunch of commentaries and interviews as rare in this era bonus content. Vincent is my favorite.

Angel of Destruction (1994)

Angel of Destruction is an action thriller from the 90’s that I was not familiar with. I’m appalled at myself for have such a good time with it.

Happy Halloween! While I’m not dressing up in costume for an office party, I do feel the mood for spooky fun. I’ve got the house to myself while I work, so it’s time to crank some tunes!

First off is Skatune Network‘s Skalloween album, released in 2021. For those of you who don’t know who Skatune Network is, they are an incredible one person Ska band who arranges and performs Ska covers of our favorite video game, cartoon, and pop music. This 8 track album features music from Beetlejuice, appropriate with the sequel that just came out, to Scooby Doo, a cartoon which pretty much celebrated Halloween all the time. Skatune does an amazing job with all of their tracks, and they collaborate with other great artists on this album as well. I’ve made a YouTube playlist of the album below, but you can also find the album on Bandcamp (link) and on other streaming media platforms.

It’s a Halloween movie! It’s a Christmas movie!! IT’S BOTH!!! The Nightmare Before Christmas, released over 30 years ago, has one of the most iconic movie soundtracks which Danny Elfman ever wrote. As I observed when I wrote about this soundtrack for it’s 30th anniversary, it was the combination of Elfman’s amazing score with the voices of the actors which makes this soundtrack so successful. Elfman even provides the singing voice of Jack Skellington (speaking voice provided by Chris Sarandon, who also played Prince Humperdink in The Princess Bride)! I’ll admit, I’ll stop and listen to any song from this soundtrack whenever it comes up in my Plex, but I’ll always try to watch this movie on Halloween. This year, with the recent passing of Ken Page, the voice of Oogie Boogie, I’ll also be sure to raise a glass when his song comes up.

Of course, we can’t have a Halloween playlist without some drum corps, so here’s the 1994 Bushwackers performing music from The Nightmare Before Christmas.

https://youtu.be/yEUOxjbGEzs?si=VAbxc1nDLd5PutGQ

On the twenty-third day of the month of September
In an early year of a decade not too long before our own
The human race suddenly encountered a deadly threat to its very existence
And this terrifying enemy surfaced, as such enemies often do
In the seemingly most innocent and unlikely of places

So began Alan Menken‘s and Howard Ashman‘s musical adaptation of the Roger Corman B movie classic, Little Shop of Horrors. The stage version made its way to the silver screen in 1986, and the gems from this soundtrack are plentiful. Steve Martin absolutely drills “You’ll Be A Dentist”, while Ellen Greene goes from tender wistfulness in “Somewhere That’s Green” to full out Broadway belting in the show stopping “Suddenly Semour”. Levi Stubbs of The Four Tops sets the standard as Audrey II, while Rick Moranis cemented his status as a comedy horror schlep as Seymour after his turn in Ghostbusters as Louis Tully. The movie is a joy to watch and the soundtrack is a joy to listen to.

There’s one musical which has a special place in my heart that also fits with the season. That is The Phantom of the Opera, a mystery never quite fully explained. This was a musical I remember listening to multiple times while in high school along with all the theater kids I shared classes with. It was also one of the first drum corps shows I remember seeing live as the Santa Clara Vanguard performed it in 1988 at the Parma, Ohio, show. I would eventually go on to perform music from Phantom with the Empire Statesmen in 2000. This was also the first musical I would see performed live at the Palace Theater in Playhouse Square. It’s the 25th anniversary concert performance of Phantom which I listen to more than the original cast soundtrack, though, as I find the audio mix is much clearer and the performances of Sierra Boggess as Christine Daaé and Ramin Karimloo as, in my opinion, The Phantom are as powerful, if not more so, than Sarah Brightman and Michael Crawford, plus there’s less of the campiness that the original version of Phantom had.

Happy Halloween! While I’m not dressing up in costume for an office party, I do feel the mood for spooky fun. I’ve got the house to myself while I work, so it’s time to crank some tunes!

First off is Skatune Network‘s Skalloween album, released in 2021. For those of you who don’t know who Skatune Network is, they are an incredible one person Ska band who arranges and performs Ska covers of our favorite video game, cartoon, and pop music. This 8 track album features music from Beetlejuice, appropriate with the sequel that just came out, to Scooby Doo, a cartoon which pretty much celebrated Halloween all the time. Skatune does an amazing job with all of their tracks, and they collaborate with other great artists on this album as well. I’ve made a YouTube playlist of the album below, but you can also find the album on Bandcamp (link) and on other streaming media platforms.

It’s a Halloween movie! It’s a Christmas movie!! IT’S BOTH!!! The Nightmare Before Christmas, released over 30 years ago, has one of the most iconic movie soundtracks which Danny Elfman ever wrote. As I observed when I wrote about this soundtrack for it’s 30th anniversary, it was the combination of Elfman’s amazing score with the voices of the actors which makes this soundtrack so successful. Elfman even provides the singing voice of Jack Skellington (speaking voice provided by Chris Sarandon, who also played Prince Humperdink in The Princess Bride)! I’ll admit, I’ll stop and listen to any song from this soundtrack whenever it comes up in my Plex, but I’ll always try to watch this movie on Halloween. This year, with the recent passing of Ken Page, the voice of Oogie Boogie, I’ll also be sure to raise a glass when his song comes up.

Of course, we can’t have a Halloween playlist without some drum corps, so here’s the 1994 Bushwackers performing music from The Nightmare Before Christmas.

On the twenty-third day of the month of September
In an early year of a decade not too long before our own
The human race suddenly encountered a deadly threat to its very existence
And this terrifying enemy surfaced, as such enemies often do
In the seemingly most innocent and unlikely of places

So began Alan Menken‘s and Howard Ashman‘s musical adaptation of the Roger Corman B movie classic, Little Shop of Horrors. The stage version made its way to the silver screen in 1986, and the gems from this soundtrack are plentiful. Steve Martin absolutely drills “You’ll Be A Dentist”, while Ellen Greene goes from tender wistfulness in “Somewhere That’s Green” to full out Broadway belting in the show stopping “Suddenly Semour”. Levi Stubbs of The Four Tops sets the standard as Audrey II, while Rick Moranis cemented his status as a comedy horror schlep as Seymour after his turn in Ghostbusters as Louis Tully. The movie is a joy to watch and the soundtrack is a joy to listen to.

There’s one musical which has a special place in my heart that also fits with the season. That is The Phantom of the Opera, a mystery never quite fully explained. This was a musical I remember listening to multiple times while in high school along with all the theater kids I shared classes with. It was also one of the first drum corps shows I remember seeing live as the Santa Clara Vanguard performed it in 1988 at the Parma, Ohio, show. I would eventually go on to perform music from Phantom with the Empire Statesmen in 2000. This was also the first musical I would see performed live at the Palace Theater in Playhouse Square. It’s the 25th anniversary concert performance of Phantom which I listen to more than the original cast soundtrack, though, as I find the audio mix is much clearer and the performances of Sierra Boggess as Christine Daaé and Ramin Karimloo as, in my opinion, The Phantom are as powerful, if not more so, than Sarah Brightman and Michael Crawford, plus there’s less of the campiness that the original version of Phantom had.

On their own, as a film, the changes made almost betray the claustrophobic prose of Poe’s story.

Ľudia sledujú kadečo, ja som si spravil radosť týmto prakticky neznámym filmom, pod ktorým bol prvykrát podpísaný legendárny producent a režisér Roger Corman - #rogercorman . Ide o #noir #drama z roku 1954 s názvom HIGHWAY DRAGNET, a hlavných úloch sa zhostili Richard Conte, Wanda Hendrix, Joan Bennett a Mary Beth Hughes.

#recenzie #film #slovensko #slovakia

Hoci nás Roger Corman navždy 9. mája 2024 opustil, jeho dielo a filmové dedičstvo, ktoré nám, filmovým fanúšikom, zanechal, tu ostáva navždy. Aj vzhľadom na túto smutnú správu som sa rozhodol znovu si pozrieť tento zaujímavý dokument z roku 2011 o jeho živote a diele. Vrelo doporučujem všetkým, ktorí majú radi #filmy #cinema #recenzie #filmoverecenzie #rogercorman

I wish my reason to revisit this trip was merely the cast and crew foreshadowing Easy Rider's, and not Roger Corman's passing earlier this week.

Con quale maestro dell'horror siete cresciuti? Io con Roger Corman che, purtroppo, ci ha lasciato qualche giorno fa alla veneranda età di 98 anni.

Nell'articolo vi ricordiamo chi lui fosse, cosa ha fatto per il mondo del cinema, ma soprattutto per ricordarvi che è stato uno dei primi a combattere contro il razzismo e la violenza politica americana con le sue pellicole.

Will shit. #RogerCorman (1926-2024) died just a few days ago. While he's known for making a lot of really bad #bmovies he also made the excellent (Edgar Allen) Poe Cycle. The first, and probably my favourite, The Fall of the House of Usher, gave the career of #VincentPrice a much-needed kick in the pants. If you love #CrimsonPeak and gothic romance, like I do, check them out. Mr. Corman, RIP. #cinema #horrorcinema #horror #scifi #fantasy #filmmaker #legend
