The Good, The Bad and The Strange
AKA La rose de fer Okay, this is sort of funny. So I'm watching this on TCM. It's about 10 minutes in and the two main characters are on their first date and biking around town (and I am incredibly bored. More-so because it's late and I didn't know I'd be watching subtitles, but I … Continue reading The Iron Rose (1973)
Ah, yes, a silent horror movie that has nothing to do with Dracula. All you silent movie haters may now flee or stay and be educated.

And, … Continue reading Hausu (1977)
TCM showed She Freak some time ago. I watched it then, but admittedly, my attention really wasn't on it. I don't remember what it was I was doing, but whatever it was it was more important than the movie. Anyway, when it showed back up in the schedule I was happy to sit down and give … Continue reading She Freak (1967)
