Matt Roush says...
The movie channel’s tribute to late producer-director Roger Corman ends with a night that could be labeled “Before They Were Star Directors.” Corman’s low-budget productions gave many future legends of the trade their start, including Martin Scorsese with the 1972 Boxcar Bertha (8/7c), his second film, starring Barbara Hershey as a Depression-era bank and train robber. Followed by Peter Bodganovich’s debut movie, the chilling Targets (9:45/8:45c), featuring Boris Karloff in one of his final roles; Francis Ford Coppola’s lurid 1963 Dementia 13 (11:30/10:30c), Jonathan Demme’s 1974 women-in-prison melodrama Caged Heat (1 am/12c) and Joe Dante’s 1978 thriller Piranha (2:30 am/1:30c).
