THE DANMAN CAN

It's one of my least favorite  Martin Scorsese  films, but Boxcar Bertha (1972) offers more than your average exploitation movie. As per the assignment from Roger Corman , the requisite boxes are checked for this low budget  Bonnie And Clyde   (1967) knockoff: violence, nudity, outlaws. However—though it is a bit rough around the edges—in the hands of Scorsese, there's an energy, visual style, and depth to the main quartet of characters (along with a downbeat ending) that brings the material up a notch.

Horny low budget barbarian bullshit. Not terribly good but still pretty fun and occasionally very funny. Sword and sorcery? More like Swiss and Sartori. Deathstalker  Franchise Films Ranked

Nothing will top Rebecca 's review, so here's that . A goofy, frankly pretty shitty,  NOES  rip-off, but there are a few great gore gags, some hilariously bad musical numbers, and it's amusing throughout. I appreciate that the filmmakers of 1987's  Slumber Party Massacre II   tried something different and more bizarro than its predecessor ( review ) and this one was, expectedly, even more fun with an audience on a rewatch.

I think  Death Race 2000  (1975) is really funny, but some people might think it's one very large baked potato. I got two words to say to that: BULL SHIT! I love the fantastic cast, the over the top performances, the wacky quotes, the wild car designs, and the political satire. One of the all-time great B-movies, this campy and gory dystopian sci-fi black comedy celebrated its 50th anniversary recently. Produced by the legendary Roger Corman and one of his most successful productions, DR2K  was directed by Paul Bartel , who made other low budget cult flicks like  Eating Raoul   (1982) ( review ) and  Lust In The Dust   (1984) ( review ). Bartel died just over 25 years ago, fittingly, in the year 2000. David Carradine , fresh of the popular TV series Kung Fu (1972–1975), stars as Frankenstein, the reigning champion of the Transcontinental Road Race, in which drivers compete by killing spectators and pedestrians with their cars. Fun fact: Peter Fonda ...

Tonally all over the place and—mostly divorced of sex, violence, and political satire—nowhere near as good as the previous year's  Death Race 2000 ),  Paul Bartel 's Cannonball (1976) is nonetheless a fun ride (natch) with a cast of Corman all-stars. A perfect Sunday afternoon movie. Paul Bartel Feature Films Ranked

The first time I saw  Suburbia (1983) was on VHS about ten years after it was released, as a teenager in the early '90s. I don't believe I'd seen it since around that same time, probably more than 30 years ago now. That's wild to think about.  Penelope Spheeris ' narrative debut holds up well more than 40 years on. It serves as a snapshot of punk and as a no holds barred coming-of-age drama. The film's heroes are kinda shitheads (misogyny, homophobia, and racism run rampant), but so is just about everyone else (many of whom have it out for them), and you really wish T.R. (The Rejected, as the protagonists dub themselves) could channel their angst into something more useful. The soundtrack and score are great and the mostly non-actors mostly work ( Flea is particularly entertaining). There are a few shocking moments that still pack a punch (the first of which feels tacked on, which you can blame producer Roger Corman for). Penelope Spheeris Feature Films Ranke...
