B-Movie Gazette: NEIL YOUNG DROPS SURPRISE DOCUMENTARY "A BAND, A BROTHERHOOD, A BARN" (2022) PRODUCED AND DIRECTED BY WIFE DARRYL HANNAH AS CRAZY HORSE RECORDS NEW ALBUM

B-MOVIE OF THE MONTH - WITHOUT WARNING (1980)

Greetings All - It would be cool to do a post one time called the ten most essential B-flicks, sort of a B-Movie 101 thing. If that ever happened I would have to include this sci-fi horror classic from Graydon Clark (Black Shampoo, Satan's Cheerleaders.) This one's a don't pass go and don't collect $200 folks, just see it, Or watch it again. I'm not even going to begin to explain the plot except you have these flying disc things that attach themselves to people, in this case campers on an outing and kill and feed on them. Eventually these discs are tied to an alien, a hungry alien. A forerunner to 1987's Predator sort to speak and with a flat-out goofy cast. Jack Palance and Martin Landau, say what? And looking drugged out I might add but the real surprise here is veteran character actor Larry Storch, from the '60's, a guy who knew 150 dialects and here he is in this as a boy scout leader lol. Also known as It Came Without Warning, this gem is streaming free now only on Plex. 2.75 stars/2.75

NEIL YOUNG DROPS SURPRISE DOCUMENTARY "A BAND, A BROTHERHOOD, A BARN" (2022) PRODUCED AND DIRECTED BY WIFE DARRYL HANNAH AS CRAZY HORSE RECORDS NEW ALBUM

You could have missed it in the blink of an eye but on Thursday, legendary rocker Neil Young dropped a free full length documentary shot and produced by his wife Darryl Hannah. A Band, A Brotherhood, A Barn showcases the recording of his latest album with longtime band Crazy Horse. And it's not bad! Sure, it's a plug to sell the album but enjoyable to watch, I mean who wouldn't want to make music in an environment like that. It reminds me of some of the jams and sessions we used to have in the Hollywood Hills when I was younger. Hopefully I'll go out the same way Neil does in this video- just being himself and creating music with his buds. Will life ever be this simple again? 2.75 stars/2.75
