I watch a lot of “bad” movies. This is mostly my choice, as I enjoy kitsch, sleaze, schlock, shock and many other forms of “garbage” that folks usually thumb their noses at. It’s a guilty pleasure that’s healthier than, say, binging on junk food – though that’s easily my second vice. But if you’ve eaten […]

ROCK OF AGES Will Rock You Like A Hurricane (Film Review)
June 16th, 2012 Malone Looking back at decades past, we often feel a blend of nostalgia and embarrassment. Usually music brings the nostalgia, fashion brings the embarrassment. Sometimes it’s the reverse: some clothing styles make a comeback and sometimes you just can’t believe you wore out that NKOTB cassette. On June 15th, Warner Bros. releases the film version of […]
Downtown Cinema (with Malone) Reviews HONDO (Blu-Ray Review)
June 9th, 2012 Malone Hollywood loves pretty boys, but every once in a while a real man’s man comes around. Burt Reynolds. Charles Bronson. Steve McQueen and Clint Eastwood. These guys certainly weren’t your modern Ben Affleck types, Doc. But when I think of a “man” there’s one who stood head and shoulders over his contemporaries as the very […]

June 2nd, 2012 Malone Hey Doc, this morning I was doing my pilates, listening to Prince and just fixating on life. As a matter of fact, “Let’s Go Crazy” came on and the Purple One gave me some insight to it all: “Electric word, ‘life’. It means forever and that’s a mighty long time. But I’m here 2 tell […]
Downtown Cinema (with Malone) Reviews THE WOMAN IN BLACK (DVD Review)
June 1st, 2012 Malone There’s just something about ghost stories, Doc. A good one will dole out endless chills and sleepless nights, thrilling you all the while. Everyone’s heard them (or told them) around the campfire as a kid, the anticipation of the scare being heightened by the lighting and the mood. It’s not just the tale, it’s the […]
Downtown Cinema (with Malone) Reviews FILMGORE (DVD Review)
May 21st, 2012 Malone Here’s a little quote for you, Doc: “The child is in me still and sometimes not so still.” – Fred Rogers. That’s Mister Rogers, if you didn’t know him personally. I may be a grown up, but I can still feel the twelve year old boy running around inside of me; though it could be […]
