Some recent posts on my other blogs, with links.
On Classic Movie Ramblings -
Girls in Prison (1956), a reasonably entertaining American exploitation movie on the women-in-prison theme.
Jungle Girl (1941), a great jungle adventure serial.
Plus the three movies from Kino Lorber's excellent Mamie van Doren boxed set -
Guns, Girls and Gangsters (1959), which delivers exactly what it promises and is wonderfully entertaining.
The Girl in Black Stockings (1957), pretty enjoyable B-movie murder mystery fare.
Vice Raid (1959), not as lurid as it would like us to think it's going to be but with a slightly sleazy atmosphere.
Mamie is in fine form in all three movies.
On Vintage Pop Fictions -
Leigh Brackett’s novella Black Amazon of Mars, a terrific sword-and-planet adventure tale. Plus the extended novel version, People of the Talisman, also pretty good.
John Norman’s fairly politically incorrect Tarnsman of Gor, so you can find out what all the controversy was about.
On Cult TV Lounge -
The Green Hornet (1966-67), which had the misfortune to be seen as a Batman clone although it's actually something quite different (and in my view better).
The Samurai, Fuma Ninja (1963), a Japanese productionwhich I think is the best kids' action-adventure series ever.
The Invaders season two (1967-68), still probably the best alien invasion TV series ever.
Mission: Impossible season 3, just as good as the first two seasons and tragically the last season to feature Barbara Bain as Cinnamon Cater.
