Absolutely insanity. Who knew that a trip to Burning Man in Black Rock City could be so (topless and) EVIL? Dumb question, I know, but – thanks to writer/director Rolfe Kanefsky (Dead Scared) – we don’t have to wonder for very long and what a strange and savage AND SEXY ...

Rampage is really big. And really dumb. And, yes, really fun. The film works because NEVER EVER does it take itself seriously. How could it?! After all, this is a film whose only requirement is that it have a giant lizard (er, alligator), a giant wolf, and a giant ape pulverizing buildings into ...

I Kill Giants now sits at the very top of my favorite films (so far) released this year. I doubt I will be forgetting it or its imaginative landscape by December when voting season rolls around. This magical movie is so much more than words could ever express. Please ...

“But does anybody have any weed, though,” the hot lesbian redhead asks about 20-minutes into this low-budget horror flick. She’s being helpful, Boils and Ghouls, as three or four joints and a few beers are pretty much mandatory in appreciating this regional shocker from ...

Gringo stars Thandie Newton, David Oyelowo, Joel Edgerton, Sharlto Copley, Charlize Theron, Amanda Seyfried, and many others. Very rarely does such a star-studded cast come together in a single film. Even more rarely does such a star-studded cast fail so miserably to breathe ...

It begins with a montage of old photographs. Native Americans at home on the land. That’s how Flay opens its color-drained canvas of horror. Don’t get comfortable, though. Whatever stirring and romanticized ideas you have about the old west will soon be jettisoned for good ...
