WE HAVE MOVED - WWW.DAILYGRINDHOUSE.COM

The regularly scheduled program will not be seen tonight

IT'S ALIVE.... IT'S ALIVE!!!!

It was never going to be this big. My buddy Poe and I originally started this blog to document our movie nights. We would get together, bring 12-15 scenes and take each other down a bad-ass road full of Harryhausen, samurai swords, bullets, car chases, the occasional slapstick, and more hot chicks than a Russ Meyer film. In January however, our mission changed.

How cool would it be to show trailers for the films we talked about? Done. How cool would it would be to post those on Twitter? Done. How cool would it be if Joe Dante followed us? Done. How cool would it be if we started our own website? Done and fucking done.

Our idea has grown along with our audience. We never pushed the boundaries of the blog because we have been working in the background on a website that has the ultimate intention of being a sick and twisted online Disneyland for horror and exploitation fans. A place genre geeks can go and get the latest news on films with an edge, tough films for the rough crowd!

So here we go. On Monday dailygrindhouse.com launches and we start turning the world into bastards one film fan at a time. DG will bring you the latest news, interviews, reviews, trailers, and features you won't find anywhere else. We have assembled a team with some incredible writers who are just waiting to bring you some of the best writing on genre films around. And we couldn't have done it without you. I don't want to be a sappy fucker, but if you are reading these, we owe you. Big.

Be a bastard. Join us at www.dailygrindhouse.com , this whole thing just got bigger. DAILY GRINDHOUSE: TOUGH FILMS FOR THE ROUGH CROWD. Thanks for the ride, thanks for staying with us, thanks for the support. Thank you for being one cool motherfucker.

See you on forty deuce,

TRAILER - FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE (1963)

James Bond battles SPECTRE and woos a smokin' hot Russian agent as he attempts to steal a Russian decoding machine in Istanbul.

Generally tying with GOLDFINGER as both a fan and critical favorite, FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE, the second film in the series, still holds up as one of Bond's most memorable adventures. A nearly flawless film that works on every level, from Terence Young's tight direction to one of Sean Connery's coolest performances as the super agent. A focus on realism helps intensify some amazing action scenes, including the famous train fight with Robert Shaw on the Orient Express. Shaw and Lotte Lenya play two of the best villains in the franchise. Action thrillers don't get much better than this.

TRAILER - POLICE ACADEMY (1984)

R.I.P. Bubba "High Tower" Smith.

Fuck you Steve Guttenberg.

TRAILER - KILLER FORCE (1976) (aka THE DIAMOND MERCENARIES)

You ever seen a flick with a cast that makes as much sense as paraplegic surgeon? This is one of those bastards: Peter Fonda, Telly Savalas, O.J. Simpson, Maud Adams, Hugh O'Brian, and Christopher "I shit bigger than all of you" Lee. Somehow this movie avoided the suck factor. Dig it.

TRAILER - HENRY: PORTRAIT OF A SERIAL KILLER (1986)

When Henry, a vicious serial killer, gets out of prison and decides to hole up with the sleazy Otis and his naive sister Becky, life gets rather complicated for our callous hero. Carefree days of Mocha Frappucinos and methodical disembowelment are replaced with love pangs and life lessons about incest. Think of it as a precursor to Sandra Bullock's THE BLIND SIDE.

This is the flick that put Michael Rooker on the map as one badass motherfucker.

Recommended.

TRAILER - MS. 45 (1981)

This is the best shy and mute seamstress movie ever made! The fact that the seamstress goes on a mission of revenge after being raped and brings a six-shooter full of hell and justice with her is icing on the cake. Abel Ferrara made this bad boy after THE DRILLER KILLER, which is a bit of a mess but I still dig it. MS. 45 (aka ANGEL OF VENGEANCE) is solid from start to finish. Ferrara nailed this.

TRAILER - THE BEAST FROM YUCCA FLATS (1961)

A Soviet scientist is turned into a lumbering monster after being exposed to radiation. Doesn't help that he was already the size of a gorilla on steroids.

Ed Wood alumni Tor Johnson stars in what is considered one of the worst movies ever made. Tor chasing after a couple of kids with a tree branch should help convince that the claim is legit. Best watched with one, maybe four six packs.

TRAILER - 200 MOTELS (1971)

Ideas for films sound so much better after you drop a little acid. 200 MOTELS makes The Monkee's HEAD look like CITIZEN KANE. I think I got a contact high just watching this bad boy.

TRAILER - SHRIEK OF THE MUTILATED (1976)

Dr. Prell and an elite group of brainy college students head out to BFE in hopes of tracking down the mysterious yeti - or at least some asshole dressed in a piss-poor bigfoot costume. Whichever comes first. Oops. *SPOILER ALERT*

As the team delves deeper into the mystery, more secrets (and Native American stereotypes) are revealed. Is there a Sasquatch running amok? Or could it actually be a cannibal cult looking to feast on hot co-eds? I'll let you decide.

Hint: It's a cannibal cult.

TRAILER - THE GORE GORE GIRLS (1972)

The last film from Herschel Gordon Lewis made until his return in 2002 goes out on the highest note possible: Face burning, eye gouging, deep-fried heads, and the shit doesn't stop there. This is balls to the wall exploitation and HGL at his grindhouse best. Buckle up bastards, it's time for THE GORE GORE GIRLS!

TRAILER - THE HILLS HAVE EYES (1977)

Wes Craven's answer to THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE doesn't have the punch of that masterpiece, but it gets the job done in the terror department thanks to a cool screenplay that sets up a more remote location. Michael Berryman is creepy as fuck as Pluto, one of the cannibal outcasts (as opposed to the vegetarian outcasts who are equally as nasty).

TRAILER - DEEP RED (1975)

If film has taught me one thing it's to always team with a feisty reporter after I have witnessed a murder. I am probably more of a fan of DEEP RED than SUSPIRIA, but it's close, damn close. Both show Dario Argento at his best: using Hitchcokian cues and violent bloodshed set to a Goblin score. Dig it.
