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

WOODY ALLEN'S 50TH FILM, "COUP DE CHANCE" (2023) GETS A US RELEASE DATE, APRIL 12TH FOR VOD AND GUESS WHAT? HE'S MAKING A 51st!!

 

Woody Allen's 50th feature film and first in the French language has been set for US release April 5th and VOD on April 12. 

According to some reviews I've read, the movie is a lot like Match Point but in Paris and with darker and more intricate twists than the 2005 hit. Some writers also mentioned Midnight In Paris and Crimes & Misdemeanors as influences and one writer calls the new film a "master of understatement" from Allen. 

One thing for sure - after the last two clunkers (Rainy Day In NY, Rifkin's Festival) which to this Allen fan represent the absolute lowest of his work, I can't wait to see this one. 

And this post comes with even better news - Allen, 88, has now publicly stated he'll start his 51st film in ITALY, Go, Woody, Go!
