The Daily Beasts
For theme projects (like #Kaijuly, #Mocktoberfest, and #SeasonsBeatings—for example),
a new film/show is profiled every day by a different writer.
NO RETREAT, NO SURRENDER (1985)
Bonkers film only has a bit of Van Damme, but it’s still worth watching.
The Pumpkin King: THE MIST (2007)
The black and white version of Frank Darabont’s other OTHER Stephen King adaptation adds stark depth and drama to an already excellent film.
THE PUMPKIN KING: THINNER (1996)
How the film’s examination of justice, corruption, and morals make it worth a revisit.
Fourths Of July: LONE WOLF AND CUB: BABY CART IN PERIL (1972)
The fourth entry furthers the series’ greatness with its own splash of the bizarre.
PULGASARI (1985) and GALGAMETH (1996)
Two films sprung from the same idea, albeit in very different circumstances: GALGAMETH being a forgotten DTV monster flick, and PULGASARI a propaganda Kaiju film made under duress.
