Tim Farrell! A member of Ed Wood's "stock company", so to speak. I definitely have to see this one!

Psy-Fi

This one is a bit like 'Frankenstein' with a zombie/robot twist. A wealthy criminal obsessed with revenge, meets an unscrupulous scientist and funds his experiments which produce the ability to reanimate recently deceased people, give them superhuman strength, and manipulate them electronically via remote control.


The late, great, Roky Erickson even wrote a song about it...

Low-budget sci-fi/horror flick about hungry, gigantic, mutant locusts with a taste for human flesh. The locusts grow to enormous proportions after eating plants which were created in an experimental agricultural lab which was using radiation to grow vegetables and fruits into oversized specimens. This one sort of falls into the "so bad it's good" category, but it was just so genuinely bad overall that I couldn't rate it any higher than 2 out of 5 stars. The poster for the movie gets a solid 5/5 stars from me, though.

Crime film about a group of U.S. Treasury agents investigating the finances of a mob boss in order to bring a charge of tax evasion against him. Not the most exciting plot but I thought the movie was well done. I'm puzzled by the title of the flick, though, because nobody actually went undercover at any time during the story.

I’ve seen this one before. It begins with a horny young couple about to go at it on lover’s lane when they’re rudely interrupted by a giant locust. The locusts are in southern Illinois before making their way to Chicago. The local news reports that all 150 people in the town of Ludlow mysteriously vanished (it’s up to the viewer to figure out they were eaten by locusts). That town actually exists in real life. I wonder if the locals were proud of the fact the people of their town were locust food in the film. The film is good for a few laughs, like when the locusts are shown rampaging through a model of a town that’s supposed to be Chicago.

Psy-Fi

The "special effects" in those old movies, always gives me a good laugh. Usually, the lower the budget, the bigger the laughs.

The working day of several people inside a Manhattan commercial tower are revealed and connected to each other through various events which happen throughout the 9 to 5 daily grind. Some humor, some drama, some sex, a villain, and a surprise darkly humorous ending.

Crime thriller about a broke con man who pitches the idea of a small town bank heist to his well-to-do partner in crime. His partner takes him up on his idea and goes to work putting together a motley crew of dysfunctional criminals to join in and help them pull off the heist. The film ends with a sappy whimper that made me groan in disbelief but up until the last couple of minutes, it was cooking.

Crime film about a nightclub owner who dies in a fiery car wreck and is burned beyond recognition, leaving his nightclub singer wife to run the club. The deceased man's brother arrives in town, unaware of his brother's death a few days prior, and starts befriending his brother's wife at the request of the local police, who suspect she may be involved in a large narcotics operation. The title of the film gives away a key element of the story, so it ended up like I thought it would, but it was still an entertaining crime film.

I never have seen much with Vera Ralston. A lot of people slam her acting. How was she in this film?
