Frankenstein Must Be Destroyed (1969)

I took a little break to recharge the creative batteries. It has been a mental task at work this week so I needed a much needed cerebral relaxation. Haha. I started a new blog review I'm excited about. I haven't watched Frankenstein Must Be Destroyed but once. Putting it together has been great fun, so I'm excited about it. I haven't written a review for a Hammer film since October so the span of several months made this film all the more a better experience. Besides the rape, I was rather impressed upon second viewing of this film. The rape ruined the film for me the first time I watched it. I comment on this in depth during my upcoming review. I will say this, Cushing has rarely been as so worthy of being reviled. His Baron here is as evil as Frankenstein has ever been.

4th of July 2025 Marathoning

McDowell and Comi prepare to leave for Mars.  Aliens visiting the UN, dropping off their cook book, providing goodies for humans on Earth, easing them into trusting them, spiriting them away to be food for them on their home planet. To Serve Man is nearly 60 years ago. I've been watching Twilight Zone since I was a teenager in the mid 90s thanks to Sci Fi Channel. Many of my family have passed since (for instance, my mother's siblings are all about gone except one last sister), and it wouldn't be right to avoid a marathon during the 4th if just for nostalgic reasons. Syfy didn't see the value of TZ on Independence Day, except last year, so even though I cannot watch episodes like I do during New Year's Eve and Day, it is nice to try and sneak in a block of episodes whenever possible. I started with Death Ship from the fourth season, continuing with Stopover in a Quiet Town and The Gift . To Serve Man would feel like a later afternoon watch but SYFY showed it at 3:...

Rod Serling presents Piano in the House "...we will not end the nightmare, only explain it. In the Twilight Zone" -- Rod Serling, looking down into the "cylinder prison" in the episode "Five Characters in Search of an Exit" I'll do some analysis on and off today and tomorrow, Episode titles in bold I watched but did not comment. Tuesday, December 31, 2024 3:00am – The Chaser (hilariously the Syfy cut dispenses with Roger/Leila conversation to a point to just get on with it...but there is a distaste this leaves behind now that might not have been as distinct then) 3:30am – The Self-Improvement of Salvadore Ross (definitely a fifth season episode fit for 2:30 in the morning of the New Year's Eve portion of the marathon. Salvatore buys compassion and dies because it wasn't part of his personality. The sociopath is traded in a barter for money but the woman he wanted in this contest of his own making cost him his life thanks to a father he couldn...

Swinging Wives (2005)

 Word of warning. This review contains adult subject matter. Carly and Nick seem to have a great sex life but want to jazz it up...or are at least considering it. Lara has an inviting "swinging club" allowing them to see a "sample" of what they can have if they are interested: Burton and Kimberly fucking in a room with a window for them to watch. Kimberly will be available to Carly and Nick if they so choose. And they decide to take Lara up on the offer, engaging in a threesome with Kimberly. It doesn't stop there, however. While fucking Kimberly is nice, very nice, Nick is very interested in Lara, actually, and she reciprocates more than gladly. Carly is upset at her man for quietly slipping outside to fuck Lara, talking to Burton about how mad she is...and Burton tells her to do something about it. That "doing something about it" is fucking him! By the end Carly and Nick realize they want to remain together and enjoy the final fuck of the film. There...
