Book Description

October 1, 2002

Sci-fi, schlock, women-in-prison, Japanese monsters, biker gangs, brazen gals, mindless men, kung fu mischief, bad music, flower power, and puppet people! Utilizing in-depth reviews, cast and plot details, Slimetime wallows in those films which the world has deemed it best to forget-everything from cheesy no-budget exploi-tation to the embarrassing efforts of major studios. Many of the motion pictures in Slimetime have never had a major release, some were big hits, others have simply "vanished." Complimenting the wealth of reviews are detailed essays on specific sleaze genres such as Biker, Blaxploitation, and Drug movies.

Steven Puchalski is editor/publisher of the cult-movie magazine Shock Cinema, and a frequent contributor to Fan--goria, and Sci-Fi, the official magazine of the Sci-Fi Channel.

This review is from: Slimetime: A Guide to Sleazy, Mindless Movies (Paperback)
400 pages of PURE GOLD!! Steve Puchalski started out in the publishing world producing a zine called SLIMETIME. Along with GORE GAZETTE and SLEAZOID EXPRESS it was one of the best publications of its type around in the 80's. Now he has compiled all those early issues into one amazing tome that will bring a sentimental tear to older horror, cult and sleaze fans like me, and open the eyes of a whole new audience to much cinematic cheese that they may not be aware of. This book has something for everyone, be they gorehound, arthouse, tv, transgressive or even mainstream fans.
This updated version also includes a review of a live performance of Hunter S Thompson and lengthy essays on biker, drug and blaxploitation films.
Puchalski is still involved in publishing, with his great SHOCK CINEMA magazine. Discover his roots with this book and you'll quickly be sending off a subscription cheque to that publication.
In a word, this book is ESSENTIAL.

5.0 out of 5 stars to the person who gave this one star, May 2, 2003

This review is from: Slimetime: A Guide to Sleazy, Mindless Movies (Paperback)
what is wrong with you? all of these in Blockbuster? what Blockbuster are YOU going to? (And, what are you doing going there in the firstplace? No sleaze/trash film fan would ever even look upon a Blockbuster, let along go IN!) Puchalski has OBVIOUSLY seen al the films HE reviews (can't speak for his guests). This book is amazingly fun. Get it and enjoy!
