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

THE UNBEARABLE WEIGHT OF MASSIVE TALENT (2022) - A FUN, QUIRKY & UNIQUE ADVENTURE COMEDY SLIGHTLY OVER-HYPED


Let me start by saying the new Nick Cage being Nick Cage film in a quirky CIA type adventure in Spain is a fun ride. Lots of very clever references to Cage's movies thru the years and overall the script is brilliant, possibly even nomination worthy. I didn't enjoy it as much given all the recent hype but I think more important than that this is a good film that will be remembered as the official rubber stamp that ole Nicolas is back on the map, and to stay. The hole that would have buried many others he dug himself out of and let's not forget there were at least a few gems in there like Joe, Pig and Mandy. 

Points straight across the board for everything but the script again is amazing. This would make an awesome novelization, watch out QT. Thumbs up!  3.5 stars/5
