    The Terrornauts

    ★★

    This movie! The early parts of it are an academia procedural where everyone argues about funding. Then we see a robot that looks like a child’s drawing of a Dalek. After that things get deeply weird, including a matter-transference side-track into a group of post-apocalyptic humanoid-sacrificing aliens. Also a lot of props that looked like they were hand-scribbled by Sharpies.

  • Dracula vs. Frankenstein

    ★½

    I gave the movie two extra full stars because Al Adamson did not kill the dog.

    This movie is over the top of movies that are over the top. I feel like I should hate it but I very much don’t.

    Went into this one pretty blind and not expecting much, but I got an even stronger Giallo vibe from this film than I did the intentionally giallo-inflected Malignant. Surprises like this are why I watch so many random movies.

  • Married Too Young

    Married Too Young

    ★★

    There’s a scene where she suggests to him that she get a job in a tone of voice that says “I could sell both my kidneys” and he reacts as though she’s suggested bartering sex for subway sandwiches. These old 50s morality stories are so weird.

    Also Dick Van Dyke and Mary Tyler Moore looked younger than these two.
