Look, it’s an X-ray vision movie. It’s an X-ray vision movie with a male teenage protagonist, even. Shouldn’t there even be a hint of hijinks in X-Treme Teens (2001)?

Hey Nathan, have you counted recently have many Full Moon/Charles Band films you have left to review before you can publish your reviews in book form?

Maybe it came out with that title to try and get in on the X-men movies and that X-whateveritwas teen tv show, seeing as how one of those covers shows rays coming out of the guys eyes?
Yet another movie that appears to have been made for no purpose whatsoever, it isn’t good, it obviously wasn’t going to be successfull. I hope someone got a good tax write-off.

Blake,
I’ve got about fifteen titles left, and my collaborator have several too. And then, you know, second drafts and such.

So I assume that 2009, in between those 15 titles, the Noir movies, binges, and roundtables, is pretty much filled.

And the screener stack. Yeah, I’m kinda spoken for.

Have your comments ever been put on the cover of a screener?

My first : A very-muched edited version of something I wrote in my review of Carnage Road appeared on the video box (under the title Carnage: The Legend of Quiltface). It was a surprise when I picked up the box at Hollywood Video. I think I’m also quoted on the back of the Track 16 DVD.

Great article. You know as a lad I dreamed of having X-Ray vision but no movie on the subject has ever quite matched up with what I imagined….

I’m sure there’s an Italian-made movie from the ’70s that fulfills that need.

Try Russ Meyer’s The Immoral Mr. Teas. I can’t imagine anyone ever coming closer than that to capturing on film the X-ray-vision fantasies of a twelve-year-old boy, even if it doesn’t involve any X-ray vision, strictly construed.

I thought the “plot” to 75% of the nudie cuties from the 1960s was “a man finds a pair of x-ray glasses.”

On a completely unrelated note, what’s happened to Braineater? The domain seems to have expired.

Uh, never mind. The page just went back online

He was just waiting to see if you’d notice.
