Movie Review: Pick-Up

There are some movies that you pick up to watch that you have absolutely no idea what to expect. Pick-Up is one of those movies. It is a movie that defies logic, sense, and in some cases attention span. I found, while being somewhat intrigued by the happenings in the movie, I had to stop and back it up a few times as I found myself dozing off. It is the first movie in a 32 movie box set of Drive-In Classics that I have watched since getting the set a long time ago. It was also released in a Grindhouse Classics branded double feature some years ago.

Movie Marathon that will leave you: Dead til Dawn! (2014)

This past weekend was the third annual Dead til Dawn Drive-In event at the Hi-Way Drive-In in Coxsackie, NY. It was the second time I was able to attend, and just like last year, it was an amazing experience. While, if given a choice I would target an indoor event like Hudson Horror Show, but attending both style events is just a fantastic way to go. There is something about sitting through the night under the stars in the crisp air of early Autumn that just feels right. This two night event boasted 11 films under the night sky, plenty of crazy fun for everyone in attendance.

Experience Recap: Dead til Dawn Drive-In 2013

It was over two years ago that there was supposed to be a big two night drive in marathon out in west Pennsylvania. Two nights, ten movies, it was looking like an awesome time for fans of Italian zombies and 70's exploitation. Sadly, it never happened. I never got to experience an all night orgy of 35mm joy. Fortunately, there are people out there who see the possibilities and step in to fill the void. Phil and Paul (from It Came Schenectady) staged a one night zombie-thon in 2012, Dead til Dawn Zombiefest. Sadly, I missed that too.
