Clyde’s Movie Palace: Bitch Slap (2009)

August 22, 2021.Reading time 8 minutes.

Up until a few days ago, I didn’t know that a Bitch Slap movie existed. I’d been watching some video’s on YouTube of commentator and podcaster, John Campea.

From the Holy Land of Clyde’s Movie Palace Ancient Archives: Come to the Stable (1949)

December 7, 2020.Reading time 39 minutes.

In a review I once wrote regarding a Bob Hope film, The Lemon Drop Kid (1951), I reminisced about the olden days of yore, when the peasants were relegated to choosing between three whole (yes, count them, THREE!) TV channels, if they were lucky enough to live in a major metropolitan area. Or at least within […]

Clyde’s Movie Palace: Two on a Guillotine (1965)

October 19, 2020.Reading time 45 minutes.

I know that when Two on a Guillotine was released, they had some scary ads on television to entice young impressionable minds to head to the local cinema and get the crap scared out of them.

War of the Worlds (1953) has been one of my favorite Science Fiction films for as long as I can remember. I’m not sure when was the last time that I watched it. But what can one expect when you have literally a few thousand movies at your disposal on DVD/Blu-ray? Sometimes it takes a […]

13 FRIGHTENED GIRLS REDUX: THE ANOINTED ONE SPEAKS

June 28, 2020.Reading time 5 minutes.

Way way back when I first reviewed 13 Frightened Girls, I watched it with my youngest son, Joshua and hoped to cajole him into offering up his perspective. A much younger viewpoint to balance out the critique or to prove you didn’t have to be the ancient mariner to enjoy movies made before the year […]

FROM THE CLYDESTUFF BLAST FROM THE PAST ARCHIVE FILES: 13 FRIGHTENED GIRLS (1963)

June 27, 2020.Reading time 46 minutes.

As you get older, the further back in your childhood that you go, the more your memories become a bit cloudy. Let’s take today’s movie, 13 Frightened Girls as an example. I believe that the first time I saw William Castle’s 13 Frightened Girls was at a drive-in movie with the family. When we were […]
