I'd recommend joining so you can go on the trade board and work out DVD-R or VHS copy trade deals with me and others if you want some hard to find shit


In other news, haven't been watching movies latley, that's why reviews are not as frequent. I swear as soon as I finish this painting I'll start popping in the DVDs. Just a couple more days and I'm done with it!

One last thing, WEIRD ASIA is back! Finally! That is like the best site ever, check it out here. The guy that runs it is like the master of obscure Asian movies, I could have never imagined some of them even existed!

Unlucky Monkey (1998)

Why isn't director Sabu more well known? Every movie of his I've seen is "Top 10 favorite movies of all time" worthy for me. The most popular thing he's ever done was an acting part in "Ichi the Killer". That's a shame because "Unlucky Monkey" is a way better movie on so many levels! For those of you unfamiliar with him, Sabu's films mix dark humor, fucked-up drama, ironic situtations, philosophy, and some bloody action/violence. Also his stories are not linear, as in it doesn't follow the "plot A to plot B, the end" formula. Rather, the entire movie starts with a character who's one action triggers a continous unpredictable chain reaction that eventually snowballs into an over-the-top strange moment. In the case of "Unlucky Monkey", this chain reaction starts off with a bank robbery. Only 1 of the 3 robbers survives and gets away with the crime. This one survivor accidentally kills some chick though as he ran like hell with a knife in hand. He never got caught for the murder either but his guilt gets the best of him, giving him depressing psychological turmoil as he tries to rationalize the whole ordeal. Somehow his path crosses with some yakuzas that were in some pretty deep shit. You have to discover the ironic twists of fate and how these characters coincide with one another on your own because all the fun is in seeing the unpredictable mess of a life these guys have unfold and crash. Sure there is a decent amount of bleeding throughout the film thanks to gun violence, even a guy's crotch get shot, but don't bother watching this movie if you're looking for a non-stop gunfest. A large percentage of this movie's strength is from the philosophy explored in a very natural way that anyone alive can relate to, not just some pretentious scholar asshole. If you haven't seen a Sabu film yet, this ones a good one to start off with. Also the ending in this film is so weird and amazing, I promise you will have not seen it coming, must be seen to be believed!

The Sinful Dwarf (1973)

A filthy sexploitation film with an evil dwarf that talks funny and still plays with toys, a drug dealer called Santa that hides drugs in teddy bears, and a mouth-watering hot blonde wearing nothing at all...WOW, this is brilliance! The opening credits with a strange avant-garde score playing while all kinds of toys move across the screen is a wild experience alone! Besides the credits, the story alone is absurd. A married couple rent a room at a house. Little do they know that the landlords (a mother and her dwarf son) have a secret room with kidnapped women held captive and injected with heroin supplied by "Santa Clause". Basically this mother and son team are pimp masters that keep their hoes weak and addicted to drugs, rendering them into hopeless junkies. Anyways, the room these chicks are locked in serves as a whorehouse where people are free to fuck any chick in there when they pay the entrance fee to the dwarf. (there's only one customer in the entire movie though, what a booming business haha). The sadistic mother/son pimp team decide to make one of their new tenants (the super hot blonde wife) "merchandise" for their illegal business. Yep, as you can tell, this is one sleazy fucked-up movie. There's quite a number of lenghty sex scenes, especially with the customer guy and the junkie chicks. Nothing hardcore/pornographic but they're pretty damn funny. This customer guy humps this one girl like mad. I'm not sure if it even counts as rape. The women looked like they didn't want sex but had to comply. Either way, it's so politically incorrect and misogynistic that it becomes as funny as Anal Cunt lyrics. Keep in mind, "Sinful Dwarf" isn't a very gory/violent film. The harshest scene is when one woman gets fucked with a cane by the dwarf, although what goes on is left to the imagination. If you find humor in the outrageous sleaze and mistreatment of women in movies like "Pink Flamingos" and "Bloodsucking Freaks," you NEED this! I kept thinking of those two movies as I watched this thing. Even if you don't like those movies, you might find yourself intrigued by the sinister facial expressions and mean antics of that evil dwarf fucker. I love that guy! What he lacks in height, he makes up for in sleaze and hilarity.

There are rare VHS and Japanese DVD's of this that are pretty damn expensive. But don't worry, Something Weird puts this out on DVD-R, go get it from them!

A Climax of Blue Power (1976)

Here's a swell sleazy roughie/porno from the 70's, back when pornos actually had some interesting stories as if they were real dramas/thrillers that just happened to have hardcore sex scenes as opposed to the softcore sex you'd see in an R-rated film. This one involves a sleazeball impersonating a cop so he can arrest hookers and tell them he'll let them free if he can bang them. He even customizes his car and has a police radio. What a genius way to save money and get some crotch action with no strings attached. We get to see two occassions of his sneaky sex adventures. In the first adventure he humiliates a whore by making her jerk off in the mud while it rains. He makes her do this after giving her some rough sex in the back of his fraudulent police car. The second adventure involved going in a massage parlor and having a lengthy threesome with two whores, mostly genital slurping ensues. "Climax of a Blue Power" becomes plot-driven when the main character witnesses a wife murder her husband. The wife never got caught but this police-impersonator becomes obsessed with punishing the bitch. This punishmet involves his cock and things get pretty mean-spirited from there, especially when the dude dresses up like Norman Bates and gives her a bubblebath where he sticks the fingers where the sun don't shine. I like how the movie actually showed the psychological turmoil the guy was going through as he kept thinking of this husband-killing wife. There are neat insights into his mind through yellow-tinted dream sequences where he fantasizes of romantic sex with her to sadistic whipping. The guy was also obsessed over this woman to prove to the world that he does have what it takes to be a cop too. Apparently he wanted to be a cop before but ended up being a loser security guard nobody respects. It's a very well made film and the acting was really impressive, especially by the main man Jason Carns. I personally enjoyed it more as a crime/drama movie more than a porno. If you're interested in the story but don't want to feel so "dirty", either get used to the hardcore scenes or just hit the fast forward button (although that might end the movie pretty early). Interesting to note that the director did do non-pornos as well like "The Black Gestapo" and even the more mainstream MGM released "Thing with Two-Heads". I never thought the guy that did a fun b-movie like "Thing with Two-Heads" did raw explicit stuff!

Forced Entry (1971)

"Forced Entry" is a perfect example of cinema pushed to a grim extreme through simplicity. No extreme gore or siezure inducing effects, just the raw ugliness of a pissed-off rapist, a genuinley creepy music score, and actual war footage that didn't even have blood is enough to send shivers down an iron spine. The movie is about a scumbag Nam Vet that works at a gas station and does some sadistic stuff. He has a clever way of getting into the houses of women customers so he can rape, mentally torture, and murder them in cold blood. He'll ramble on about how he hates people and then he'll say some humiliating un-PC things to his victims. One woman is threatened with a knife and forced to suck his cock while he goes on and on about hating her socio-economic type. And another woman gets forced into sodomy thanks to a gun in the sleazeball's hand. This woman too gets attacked verbally by the madman. During these sick rape scenes, real Vietnam War footage was inserted. You'd see a sudden b/w clip of Vietnamese children crying as the rape victim was begging for agony or a clip of weapons being loaded as the guy's penis gets attention. It's an interesting "compare and contrast" between the war in Vietnam and the war in the streets of mundane America. How the guy's reign of terror ends is another interesting metaphor (not unless I'm just looking way too deep into it). He gets destroyed by two hippie women that meant no harm at all, kinda like the same way peace-lovers were the Vietnam War's antithesis. Sure this movie is a porno but I don't think people were meant to pleasure themselves to the degrading rape scenes. These scenes are terrifying! Anyone that finds themselves jerking off to these rapes is seriously a freak! I feel the movie takes advantage of being a porno so it could illustrate how brutal the crushing of innocence can be through explicit uncensored sex. Overall, a solid disturbing sleaze film with a gritty atmosphere that's so dirty that you'll wanna wash your TV in soapy water later. The only parts that kinda ruin the dark serious mood of the film is when audio clips are looped to repeat a thought and also the sodomy scene cause I think the woman was really getting penetrated in the birth canal the whole time.

The Ravager (1970)

Here's an early "NAM vet gone Wild" film that you "Forced Entry" and "Combat Shock" fans might dig. The main character has this hate for lovers, lesbians, and happy people. He delights in ruining joyous occassions (with explosives) ever since the Vietnam war where he witnessed a woman being raped, tortured, and exploded (dynamite up the joytrail!) by two Viet Cong goons. The psychology of the character operates on utterly retarded bad movie logic. We first learn he gets insitutionalized after the war and then as soon as he's out after being deemed sane he goes to some store to buy demolition/explosive equipment (were explosives really that easy to buy before?). There's even a cheezy narrator throughout the film giving us insight into this demented fuck's mind as if this were some educational 50's documentary. Not that much to the story really. The guy rents out some place where the landlady is a super bitch and just goes around looking for victims whenever he's out. When he finds them he quitely spys on what they're doing (usually fucking, no hardcore penetration though) as he prepares a bomb to set-off to kill. I think the movie padded itself too much by spending a lot of time on the softcore makeout scenes before the explosions hit. Not much violence either. There were some sleazy rapes though and in one rape he ends up suffocating the chick with a pillow. Although very simplistic and not as visually graphic, the story itself about a guy obsessed with "ravaging" happy people is pretty damn fucked up, so fucked up that it's ridiculously funny. He's like a rain cloud that suddenly obstructs rays of sunshine. Overall, it's a neat antisocial tale of some perverted nutcase, obsessed with destruction and sex, going on random acts of violence cause he was mentally disturbed in a nonsensical way. This one is for bottom of the barrel trash cinema weirdos (like me) to scrap up and appreciate for what it's worth cause I just can't see casual movie fans getting much out of this.

The awesome company Something Weird makes DVD-R's of it if you're interested. They're your easiest and probably only source to catch this obscure piece of exploitation psycho nam-vet history. The quality of the release is clear, it just has scratches on the film print that look like silky spiderwebs but you'll get used to it as you watch.

Keep an eye out for reviews/rants of all those flicks mentioned above some time soon. I've been focuing on my "Psycho Sleaze" comic latley (I might get this thing out sooner than I expected!). Last thing I worked on was a comic called "Cut to Fuck" and it was about these siamese-twins with one of them going insane from sexual frustrations. Something disturbing happens between them, take the hint from the title, "Cut to Fuck". There's another comic I'm working on called "Breastfeeding Massacre" that involves a hooker who's face and tits get fucked up when she fucks a guy that had mutant acid cum. Later her boobs keep growing and growing until they have a life of their own and things just get drastic from then on, it's a surprise. Good stuff eh?
