B-MOVIE OF THE MONTH - GULAG (TV 1985)

This month B-Movie Gazette dives into the prison genre and who doesn't like a good prison flick? Gulag is an extremely well-produced TV movie originally made for HBO before wandering out to obscurity-land. David Keith is in top form as a sportscaster and while covering an event in Moscow is framed by the KGB. Unable to prove his innocence a prison escape is now inevitable, just how will he do it? Malcolm McDowell co-stars, this is a good one folks! 2.75 stars/2.75

ANDREW STEVENS IS STALKING MICHAEL SARRAZIN'S GIRLFRIEND IN "THE SEDUCTION" (1982) - MORGAN FAIRCHILD IS THE TV NEWS ANCHOR WHO HAS EVERYONE IN A TIZZY

I don't know if I should feel proud or embarrassed that I saw this in the theaters when it first came out. I do know I had completely forgotten about it until showing up recently in a Vudu sale. (And by the way I still call it Vudu, not Vudu Fandango. Who the hell wants to say Vudu Fandango when you can say Vudu?) 

Further surprise came when I discovered that it has held up well thru the decades, in fact, it's a pretty decent thriller all in all. Probably one of the last good things Michael Sarrazin did and the height of stardom for Andrew Stevens who up until then had appeared in small parts or five-liners (Shampoo, Las Vegas Lady among others)

Also look for a young Coleen Camp in a great supporting role. Without spoiling, one of the things I really liked about this was the ending was very realistic and truly fits the profile of these stalkers and what happens to them ultimately. This one's worth checking out and is on sale for seven dollars right now on Vudu. That's Vudu, not Vudu Fandango. 3.0 stars/5
