While most Italian zombie movies of the late 70s/80s are a cash grab on the success of Dawn of the Dead (1978), Hell of the Living Dead (1980) is such a rip off, it can almost be mistaken for a...

If I had to notice a theme in my movie watching over 2017, it was Italian cinema. I finally gave up on the hopes of a Region 1 DVD release of Francesco Rosi's Lucky Luciano...

I'm ashamed that it took three weeks for me to get to my next Netflix movie. For the future, I'm going to try to enforce a rule that if I don't watch a movie in three days, I'll send it back for...

I'm not totally against streaming, because it's a great way to provide access to films that are difficult to get a hard copy of. I just started diving into the Italian Poliziotteschi genre, and that...

Wrapped up "The Three Mothers" trilogy with Mother of Tears (2007), which I liked more than Inferno (1980), but (of course) didn't measure up to the madness that was Suspiria (1977). What I liked...

Inferno (1980) was disappointingly conventional compared to Suspiria (1977), and really took longer than it needed to get started. The score of Suspiria filled me with a constant uneasiness and...

That's exactly how it works, you just make a queue of films (found out not to long ago that the max is 500), and they ship you either one or two disks depending on what plan you have. And when you...

I was blown away by Suspiria (1977). I don't know how something this good could fly under my radar for this long. Easily the most effective thing about this movie is the soundtrack. Holy ****, this...

Though I had Richard III (1955) next on my queue, Netflix sent me Paths of Glory (1957) instead (oddly enough, which had a "long wait" time). I didn't mind, the last time I saw Paths of Glory was...

Crossed D.O.A. (1950) off of my list and is a clear example of noir style over substance. The plot itself screams of over the top noir: Frank Bigelow (Edmond O'Brien), a notary public, takes a...

I was really blown away by Force of Evil (1948). It's a movie that doesn't get as much praise as its contemporaries, but it's noir to its very bones. John Garfield carries this one. My noir kick...
