THE AMG DIRTY DOZEN: 4/25/12 - Grindhouse Noir Vixens, The One-Armed Swordsman And A Killer Mime

It looks like this will be April's only entry in the AMG Dirty Dozen: at least it is a fairly action-packed entry.  It's drawn entirely from Your Humble Reviewer's 2003 reviews for All Movie Guide and the bill of fare includes Jacopetti and Prosperi's best mondo-shocker, a psycho killer flick that doubles as a commentary on movie addiction/the downside of Hollywood and a gothic horror tale built around the mime skills of Marcel Marceau!  Mea Culpa Department: for once, this installment's mea culpa refers to a film that was overpraised instead of underpraised - Private Duty Nurses (the review here doesn't overpraise but it's too easy on the film nonetheless).AFRICA BLOOD AND GUTS: http://www.allmovie.com/movie/africa-blood-and-guts-v1147/reviewBONNIE'S KIDS: http://www.allmovie.com/movie/bonnies-kids-v6619/reviewCOUNTESS DRACULA: http://www.allmovie.com/movie/countess-dracula-v87930/reviewDREAMSCAPE: http://www.allmovie.com/movie/dreamscape-v14777/reviewFADE TO BLACK: http://www.allmovie.com/movie/fade-to-black-v16572/reviewGIRL IN ROOM 2A, THE: http://www.allmovie.com/movie/the-girl-in-room-2a-v19825/reviewLOOSE SCREWS: http://www.allmovie.com/movie/loose-screws-v30033/reviewMANTIS IN LACE: http://www.allmovie.com/movie/mantis-in-lace-v31347/reviewONE ARMED SWORDSMAN, THE: http://www.allmovie.com/movie/one-armed-swordsman-v36346PRIVATE DUTY NURSES: http://www.allmovie.com/movie/private-duty-nurses-v39299/reviewREVOLVER (1973): http://www.allmovie.com/movie/revolver-v85452/reviewSHANKS: http://www.allmovie.com/movie/shanks-v109735/review
