The Genius of Buddy Griffith – A Look at Comedy in the 80′s

I’ve been on an 80′s comedy kick as of late. Though I tuned in for the mindless entertainment, I walked away with a new appreciation for the era in cinema and came to the conclusion that comedy films from the 1980′s had more heart than any other decade. There was a naive and brutally honest [...]

Chambers of Horror: Nastier Than Ever

As you are well aware, we here at CouchCutter aren’t in the business of bringing you news on just any haunted house. At the moment, we only get behind two amazingly creative and entertaining “haunts”. One because of its scale, the other because of its relentless ferocity. We are about to explore the latter. Chambers [...]

3 Unacceptable Movie Relationships

We threw an annual bad movie night at my house with some friends last week and it was the second time in as many bad movie nights that I had picked out a beloved flick from my childhood that featured socially unacceptable relationships. There was a certain naivety that went with these films, because they [...]

Get Back in the Trailer: “Staying Alive” (1983)

This seldom-acknowledged sequel to “Saturday Night Fever” was directed by Sylvester Stallone. So, as one would imagine it plays out like a ROCKY sequel, complete with epic montages and oily muscles. This is seriously the best dance movie ever made. Listen to that cock rockin’ soundtrack and tell me I’m wrong…

Get Back in the Trailer: “Point Break” (1991)

If you are not familiar with “Point Break”, it is the story of a thrill-seeking surfer gang led by Patrick Swayze (who sports the sweetest ass bleached hair you have ever seen), that is penetrated by a dim undercover cop (played by “Bill and Ted’s” Keanu Reeves) investigating a string of bank robberies. Keanu fights [...]

Get Back in the Trailer: “Summer School” (1987)

Nothing says “Christmas season” season like an 80′s Summer comedy! The greatest thing about this flick is the two cinephile slacker’s obsession with “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre”. They were also amazingly talented special effects artists as demonstrated in the elaborate “let’s make everyone in class look like they’re dead” prank.
