If you want to watch (or have already watched) Corky's movie, it's probably not least because you want (or wanted) to see the main character's car in action - a very remarkable peach-pinkish Plymouth Barracuda.…
The History of the V4 engine in cruisers,…
I decided to add another type of engine to our website. The V4 is a relatively rare unit on the custom scene, which can perhaps be attributed to the fact that American automotive culture is…
The Vanishing Point (1971): A white Dodge Challenger…
Perhaps the most iconic road movie of all and... I have no idea what to write about. The fact is that even the most iconic road movie is, after all, a road movie. Someone goes…
1969 Chevrolet El Camino by Steve Hudson
The Internet is the closest thing we have to a time machine. Of course, some sites are designed to flow with time, but still, old-style sites like blogs or our online magazine are fragments of…
1948 Ford Anglia – Odd Job: 10 million…
A separate advantage of hunting for auto-moto magazines when searching for information about a particular car is that, in addition to the article you are looking for, you actually get the rest of the magazine.…
1976 Dodge Tradesman Van – Outrageous: A Future…
As it turned out more than once, this car was discovered completely by accident: I was interested in the 1979 issue of Vans & Pickups magazine in an attempt to find an article about another…
The Car (1977): Angrier than Christine
Dear friends. This year has been difficult. Cough-cough. The movie won't be the best either. At least, according to film critics, who gave him only 28 percent on Rotten Tomatoes. The audience delivered almost twice…
Street cars and street freaks: the custom culture…
It is generally accepted that hot rods ruled the streets of the United States until the advent of muscle cars, and somehow no one thinks about the fact that muscular cars also quite often drove…
The Irishman (2019): Married to the Mafia
Martin Scorsese's mafiosi are similar to Takeshi Kitano's yakuza, they are taciturn gloomy samurai who, when the opportunity presents itself, deftly control weapons. Just look at how Robert de Niro gracefully dances with a gun.…
Joker (2019) – Try on a happy face
The movie Joker (2019) Todd Phillips is certainly very good and impressive. And very sad. Especially if you watch it alone. Among other unfamiliar and possibly lonely people in the audience. Probably there were some.…
Bad Times at the El Royale – and…
The title of the film Bad Times At The El Royale (2018) rather translates as "Bad times at The El Royale", but the translators of the rental version did their job like this: "Bad Times…
The Wanderers (1979) – A movie about guys…
The Wanderers 1979... Frankly, I tried very hard to dodge writing this article. First of all, due to the fact that the second administrator of this site already has quite a good short article on…
Convoy (1978) – the best film about truckers
I think everyone has heard of films based on books or based on historical events, or, I don't know, on folk folklore. Has anyone ever seen movies based on songs? To be honest, I can't…
Wild Angels – Let’s Get Back To Rock’n’roll…
Hey, hello again, John Lennon album. No, I won't write about you again today. Maybe in a week? And today I'd rather write about a great vinyl record by the British band Wild Angels from…
Rolling Thunder (1977) – Major Rain’s Last Fight
Rolling Thunder (or Thundering Thunder), Rolling Thunder (1977) is a very strong film, dynamic and looks in one breath, despite the fact that it was shot quite a long time ago. As in the films…
Elvis: how the horror master made a movie…
I prefer not to watch biographical films about Elvis. For many reasons, but the most important of them is that the life of such a famous person as Presley, willy-nilly, becomes shrouded in all sorts…
Quarry: the Vietnamese syndrome with black music
Quarry (2016) is a very grievous series. The main character Mac Conway, played by Logan Marshall-Green, is a Vietnam veteran and music lover, who fond of black music and he's the owner of a wonderful…
The Lords of Flatbush, about rebels and causes
The Lords Of Flatbush of 74 is the first film in which Sylvester Stallone had a role with words and, as stated by Sly in an interview in 2006, Richard Gere is still offended by…
Greased Lightning (1977) – the best NASCAR movie…
I present to you the first film for which I translated subtitles into Russian, and it is perhaps the best among them so far: Greased Lightning 1977. The film is based on the biography of…
The California Kid is one of the best…
Sometimes I get a free minute, and I do what I really want to do: I translate old movies about cars. For example, Russian subtitles for the 1974 film The California Kid by my authorship.…
Two-Lane Blacktop (1971) – a trip along Highway…
The Two-Lane Blacktop (Two-Lane Blacktop, 1971) directed by Monte Hellman is one of the backbone of the road movie that blossomed with the lush color of American vineyards in the first half of the 70s.…
