Movie #2619:  The Teacher (1974, Howard Avedis)
Better than I thought it would be. This was made by Crown International which was the king of the teen exploitation movie during the 70s. This one is also a teen sexploitation movie but as an added extra attraction they also include a psycho on the loose subplot. This psycho just keeps popping up everywhere until he finally acts like psycho should in the final scenes.   
Angel Tompkins is kinda bland as the sex crazy teacher. Jay "Denis The Menace" North is surprisingly good as the horny teen. But Anthony James gets the plum role: the psycho.

Movie #2614: The Unbelievers (2013, Gus Holwerda)
Not really a documentary - just a hodgepodge. Some scenes of them talking. Some pop tunes. Some scenes of cars on a highway. A lazy man's documentary. I assume the 7.2 on IMDB is for the opinions expressed in the film and not for the film itself.

Movie #2615: Invasion Of The Saucer Men (1957, Edward L Cahn)
The usual competent job done by Mr Cahn. This one starts out as a comedy but then turns serious with only a few comedy scenes. Fun time waster.

Movie #2617: Hand Of Death (1962, Gene Nelson)

What a debut for director Nelson. Who could have known that within just a few years he'd have sunk so low that they had him directing Elvis movies (including his alltime #1 stinker, Harum Scarum).
Actually the biggest kudos should go to the guy in charge of the music: Sonny Burke. Lots of spooky theramin but the rest of the music was great too.
An unknown gem.
