6 Trailers From 2 Tired Trailer Kitties

Posted on February 4, 2013 by Lisa Marie Bowman

The trailer kitties were still pretty tired from the Super Bowl (they got a little bit too hyper when all the lights went out in the stadium) but I still sent them out to gather six more trailers for this week’s edition of Lisa Marie’s Favorite Grindhouse and Exploitation Film Trailers. Here’s what they returned with.

One quick note: As much as I love the trailer kitties, they occasionally bring me trailers for films that weren’t really grindhouse films. However, the trailer for Pinocchio’s Birthday Party was just weird and creepy enough that I decided to include it anyway.

1) Pinocchio’s Birthday Party (1974)

2) Can I Do It … Til I Need Glasses (1979)

3) Karzan, Master of the Jungle (1972)

4) The Penthouse (1967)

5) Hog Wild (1980)

6) From Noon Til Three (1976)

6 Trailers From The Trailer Kitties

Posted on January 27, 2013 by Lisa Marie Bowman

Hi! As I write this, I am sick and miserable. I’ve spent almost all of today in bed and I imagine that I’ll do the same tomorrow. Hopefully, I’ll feel better on Tuesday. However, just because I’m sick, I’m not going to let that stop me from offering up another edition of Lisa Marie’s Favorite Grindhouse and Exploitation Film Trailers.

Since I’m sick, I sent the Trailer Kitties out to round up 6 trailers for this post. Let’s see what they came back with.

1) The Uncanny (1977)

I can guess why the Trailer Kitties selected this trailer.

2) Twice Dead (1988)

According to the Trailer Kitties, twice as dead means twice as much fun. Cats are like that.

3) Nature of the Beast (1995)

I’m not really sold on this “trailer” but the Trailer Kitties saw that Eric Roberts was in it so they go it into their feline heads that this might be a prequel to The Dark Knight.

4) The Phantom of the Mall (1989)

Fortunately, the Trailer Kitties are bilingual.

5) Black Roses (1989)

Trailers like this one make me doubt the judgment of the Trailer Kitties.

6) In Love (1983)

Believe it or not, this classy-looking trailer is apparently for a hardcore, X-rated film. For that reason, the trailer itself has been rather heavily edited but I’m still going to include it because I like the song that plays over the action. (That said, I’m not real happy about my Trailer Kitties viewing this type of material…)

6 Trailers To Make You Go “Rah Rah RAH!”

Posted on January 21, 2013 by Lisa Marie Bowman

It’s time for another edition of Lisa Marie’s Favorite Grindhouse and Exploitation Film trailers. The trailer kitty is ready! Are you?

1) Assassination (1988)

The trailer almost feels like a parody of a generic action movie trailer. However, I’ve done the research and apparently, this is an actual film.

2) The President’s Analyst (1968)

I recently got this one on DVD but I haven’t watched it yet. Any film from the 60s that features James Coburn and love beads is worth watching.

3) Detroit 9000 (1973)

This is another one that I’ve got on DVD but have yet to watch.

4) Billy Jack Goes To Washington (1977)

I think I’ve shared both this and the next trailer before but with it being National Rah Rah Rah Day and all, I figured why not share it again?

5) Werewolf of Washington (1973)

Rah rah…

6) The Delta Force 2 (1990)

…rah.

He’s thinking about it.

The First Six Trailers of 2013

Posted on January 6, 2013 by Lisa Marie Bowman

Finally! It’s 2013 and it’s time for another edition of Lisa Marie’s Favorite Grindhouse and Exploitation Film Trailers!

1) The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living and Became Mixed-up Zombies (1966)

With a title that long, how couldn’t this be a good movie?

2) Frankenstein Meets The Space Monster (1965)

3) Frankenstein Conquers The World (1965)

1965 was obviously a busy year for Frankenstein.

4) Charlie and the Hooker (1977)

With a name like Charlie and the Hooker, you know it’s going to be a fun film for the whole family. And no, this is not a Charlie Sheen biopic.

5) A Taste of Blood (1967)

From the director Herschell Gordon Lewis…

6) Lisa and the Devil

And finally, in honor of the new year, here is the trailer for one of my favorite films of all time — Mario Bava’s Lisa and the Devil.

6 Trailers That Have Absolutely Nothing To Do With Christmas

Posted on December 15, 2012 by Lisa Marie Bowman

Hi everyone! Is the Christmas season stressing you out? I know it is for me. I’ve got multiple Christmas Parties to attend this week, Dazzling Erin and I have a house that’s only halfway decorated, and I’ve still got a lot of presents to buy. We have something for Sonny, we have the tie for Fredo, and Tom Hagen gets the Reynolds Pen but otherwise, I’m still struggling to get all of my shopping done.

(It would help if I could stop finding so much stuff that I want for myself.)

With all that in mind, here’s the latest edition of Lisa Marie’s Favorite Grindhouse and Exploitation Film Trailers! Below are 6 trailers that have absolutely nothing to do with Christmas!

Enjoy!

1) Sting of the Dragon Masters (1973)

2) Stacey (1973)

3) The Italian Stallion (1970)

4) Tattoo (1981)

5) Mad Monkey Kung Fu (1979)

6) Americathon (1979)

Finally! It’s the return of Lisa Marie’s Favorite Grindhouse and Exploitation Film Trailers!

Posted on December 2, 2012 by Lisa Marie Bowman

I am very proud to announce the return of Lisa Marie’s Favorite Grindhouse and Exploitation Film trailers!

Yes, the feature took a short break in November while I was busy plotting my escape to Canada. However, after giving it a lot of thought, I’ve decided to give America another chance.

(Or, at the very least, to wait until after the 2014 elections to decide whether or not to stay here in Texas or to move to Degrassi street in Toronto, Canada.)

Anyway, without further delay, here are this week’s 6 trailers!

(One thing will always remain the same. Whether a Canadian or a Texan, Lisa does not do odd numbers.)

1) Texas Adios (1976)

This film stars my Facebook friend, Franco Nero.

2) City of the Living Dead (1980)

This zombie classic was directed by Lucio Fulci and features Giovanni Lombardo Radice, who recently liked a cute cat picture that I shared on Facebook. Merci, Johnny!

3) Starcrash (1978)

If this trailer looks familiar, it may be because I previously included it in another one of my trailer posts. But no matter! I love this trailer and I’m sure that a lot of our readers here at TSL will enjoy it as well. Next Halloween, I’m going to be Stella Starr. (Starcrash, incidentally, was directed by my Facebook friend, Luigi Cozzi.)

4) Far From Home (1989)

This film, which stars Drew Barrymore, was made by a bunch of people who are not friends with me on Facebook.

5) The Astounding She Monster (1957)

One reason I love 50s B-movies is because the monsters were always astounding.

6) Malibu Beach (1978)

And finally, let’s end things on a positive note!

Before I Abandon America For Canada, Here’s 6 Trailers To Remember Me By.

Posted on November 7, 2012 by Lisa Marie Bowman

Hi everyone! Yesterday was election day here in the United States and what can I say other than that I’m taking my cute ass to Canada! That may sound extreme but earlier this month, I promised that if Hello Kitty and Tuxedo Sam did not win this election, I was heading up north.

And in honor of my future life in the land of Degrassi and Ryan Gosling, here’s another edition of Lisa Marie’s Favorite Grindhouse and Exploitation Film trailers. And guess what? This edition is dedicated to Canadian films!

1) Abraxas: Guardian of the Universe (1990)

This is less of a trailer and more of an advertisement designed to entice retailers to keep Abraxas in stock. But, what’s really important here is that it’s Canadian.

2) Expect No Mercy (1996)

With a title like Expect No Mercy, it has to be good! Plus, it was made in Canada.

3) Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter (2001)

Who needs Abraham Lincoln?

4) The Playgirl Killer (1966)

“The Playgirl Killer … in color!” I think the Playgirl Killer looks like he might be distantly related to Steve Buscemi.

5) Starship Invasions (1977)

I think this film might involved starships invading something. It’s hard to tell from the trailer.

6) Rolling Vengeance (1987)

It’s out for revenge! And it’s … rolling, apparently.

6 Trailers For The Day Before Halloween

Posted on October 30, 2012 by Lisa Marie Bowman

Hi there! Well, it’s the day before Halloween and that can only mean that it’s time for another edition of Lisa Marie’s Favorite Grindhouse and Exploitation Film trailers!

1) How To Make A Monster (1958)

This movie, which involves the danger of angering a Hollywood makeup artist, seems especially appropriate for Halloween.

2) Halloween 3: Season of the Witch (1982)

This is a movie that generated some debate on this site just a few weeks ago. I happen to like it but I’m in a minority. What can I say? I’m a sucker for any film that features an Irishman destroying the world.

3) Hatchet For The Honeymoon (1970)

This film is from the great Italian director, Mario Bava.

4) The Toolbox Murders (1978)

This film is proof that you should never trust a man with a toolbox.

5) The Initiation (1984)

“They pledged themselves to be young, stay young … and die young.” Well, I guess that’s one way to stay forever young.

6) Night of the Zombies (1980)

Finally, how can you do a Halloween trailer post and not include at least one zombie film?

6 More Terrorific Trailers

Posted on October 23, 2012 by Lisa Marie Bowman

Hi there! It’s time for yet another edition of Lisa Marie’s Favorite Grindhouse and Exploitation film trailers! Today, we’ve got six trailers that are terrorific!

Now, I know what you’re saying.

You’re saying, “Dammit, Bowman, terrorific is not a word.”

Well you know what?

It so totally is a word.

And with that settled, here’s this week’s collection of trailers!

1) Strange Behavior (1981)

This is one of my favorite films of all time! This is a horror film that includes zombies, knife-wielding maniacs, and an elaborate dance number for no particular reason. What more could you want?
