House of Bamboo (Fox Film Noir)
Robert Stack, Cameron Mitchell
20th Century Fox, 2005
A Surprisingly Good Lost Treasure
+ SAMUEL FULLER, OPUS 8
Robert Ryan & Robert Stack (yep, the guy from "Unsolved Mysteries") vie for control of Tokyo's underworld. In reality, it was the Yakuza that ruled the black-markets and pachinko parlors, and the more realistic tales of this plague are told by director Kinji Fukasaku with his "Yakuza Papers" ...

White Dog
Kristy McNichol, Burl Ives
fascinating incorrect film
+ SAMUEL FULLER, OPUS 20
This film is superb and I think little known as politically incorrect. Policy today, and ever at times of making this movie, wants to show all things in life, even the bad ones, have a solution, and a reasonable one, generally.
But Sam Fuller is wise and I think very experienced and his best and ...

The Naked Kiss - Criterion Collection
Constance Towers, Anthony Eisley
Criterion, 1998
A Singular Vision
+ Definition of Pulp
The first scene: (This film has one of the best first scenes of all-time.) A tall buxom brunette wearing only a black bra is wrestling with a man in a living room. The man seems to be losing consciousness but before he blacks out he rips off the woman's wig exposing her bald head. She re-attaches ...

Shark
Burt Reynolds, Arthur Kennedy
TROMA ENTERTAINMENT INC., 2004
All Star B-Movie !!!
+ Excellent Shark/Adventure Movie!!
Burt Reynolds, Barry Sullivan, Silvia Pinal, Arthur Kennedy - WOW!!!! - What a cast ! I can really see why Mr. Reynolds was considered for the James Bond part (1969); after seeing him in this action flick. Although, Sam Fuller had problems finishing this low budget movie - he still got the job ...

Street of No Return
Keith Carradine, Valentina Vargas
Fantoma, 2003
A must-own for Fuller fans
+ SAMUEL FULLER, OPUS 22
Jean-Luc Godard described Samuel Fuller's films as "cinema fist," and that's certainly true of Fuller's last film, the underrated _Street of No Return_. A bizarre, fast-moving noirish cocktail of love and death (with an unexpected ending that feels more like fantasy than fact), _Street_ bears the ...

Shock Corridor - Criterion Collection
Peter Breck, Constance Towers
Criterion, 1998
Jaw-Dropping Hysterics...in the film AND in your living room
+ SAMUEL FULLER, OPUS 16
+ one of the greatest looney bin movies
Ambitious journalist Peter Breck lusts after a Pulitzer Prize or, at the very least, "a book, a play, even a movie sale." So what's a starving, scheming, modestly talented scribe to do? Why, according to Shock Corridor, he ought to get himself committed to a loony bin to grill the crazies who ...
