DAWN:PORTRAIT OF A TEENAGE RUNAWAY (1976). The always entertaining PSYCHOTRONIC magazine referred to DAWN as "..the Drive-In comes to America's Living Room" as the TV film can get quite tawdry. Dawn (Eve Plumb from THE BRADY BUNCH-!) is fed up with her dull life and alcoholic mother and decides to head to Los Angeles. Unfortunately, the streets are tough and finding it impossible to get a job, she has to resort to teen prostitution. Luckily, She has a friend who also is a prostiture, so He can understand her dilemma and offer her some stability, although she sure doesn't seem appreciative. Throughout, she sounds like a snippy Jan Brady

I can imagine him saying that ![]() J.D.'S REVENGE (1976). Kind of a goofy premise, but quite entertaining tale of a young law student/taxi driver who is persuaded by his wife and their friends to go out to relax. First to a Strip Joint (This wouldn't be my idea of a couple's evening out, but what the heck ![]() |

PUMPKINHEAD (1988). Lance Henriksen is great as a father trying avenge the death of his young son caused by the foolishness of an asshole motorcycle driver and his friends. However, He finds it's not as easy to stop something as it is to start it. The rest of the cast is less than memorable and the story meanders something fierce, although the title monster is pretty cool. **

TERROR IN THE AISLES (1984). Odd collage of scenes from various scary movies with somewhat dry narration fromDonald Pleasence and Nancy Allen. It goes as far back as BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN up to around 1982. This actually played in the theaters-I saw it a couple of times-and it encouraged Me to seek out some of the films like ALONE IN THE DARK, MS 45, VICE SQUAD, STRANGERS ON A TRAIN, plus a lot of the usual suspects. Not necessary, but a fun little watch, especially if You have some background. One Caveat Emptor is TITA is jammed with spoilers or showing "The Good Stuff", so be ready for that. ***

IMPULSE (1974). Absolutely looney film with William Shatner, due to a traumatic childhood experience, has become a leisure suited gigolo/psycho going after affluent widows and not for long term either. Bill sweats and twitches, but the women just love him, although the daughter of the most recent girlfriend sees through him astute She is, but also a TOTAL brat! While Shatner has nothing good to say about the film-very low budget- it's off beat enough to check out. Also with Ruth Roman (THE WINDOW, STRANGERS ON A TRAIN, THE BABY) and Harold Sakata (OddJob himself from GOLDFINGER). **1/2
