  Prime Cut 1972

  ★★★ Watched 16 Feb 2025

  Lee Marvin doing Lee Marvin things in this ultra-lean 70’s action flick about some mafia dudes doing shady dealings with a Kansas City cattle farmer (Gene Hackman) that go south. Seriously, I at one point looked at the time remaining on the movie and there was only 15 minutes left, fully expecting to see at least 40-45. So yeah, Prime Cut doesn’t really waste a lot of time on the whole character development thing, which I am both a bit…

  Catchfire 1990

  ★★★½ Watched 18 Feb 2025

  I believe that I have found the solution to overcoming my lingering sadness. It comes in the form of a saxophone and playing it despite having absolutely zero talent. Just nothing but tuneless wailing and hip gyrations. I do not have any plexi-glass windows to slam it up against, but I’ll figure something out.

  If this fails, I guess there is always banging on a bed covered in pink Hostess Sno-Balls.

  Thank you, Dennis Hopper, for this completely fascinating mess. You goddamn hero.

  The Shark Hunter 1979

  ★★★ Watched 26 Jan 2025

  A feature length film starring a blond wig wearing Franco Nero or a very long music video starring a blond wig wearing Franco Nero? You be the judge. To be fair, the score provided by the De Angelis brothers is rad…so I have zero issue with them getting as much mileage out of it as they attempted. It probably did more heavy lifting than any actor/actresses in the movie outside of Nero.

  Notable collaborative pals Enzo Castellari and Franco Nero…
