Bruce Springsteen. The name alone creates a number of iconic images. The fist raised in the sky. The bandana. The cut-off sleeves. Asbury Park.The BIG man on the sax. That worn guitar. The cars and the girls. Whatever it is for you, I assure you ...

No, this title isn’t connected to Silent Bob’s Russian cousin. You know, the one that kept singing, “BERRRRRSERRRRRRKER!” in Clerks. That might have improved Berserker greatly. Instead, we get a killer Viking warrior offing dumbass teenagers in Utah while they dance and listen to some pretty ...

Objectified horror has found its home! If you ever find the replicate of the original Amityville house in your garage, but it is pint-sized (as in a dollhouse) leave it the fuck alone. Don’t touch it. Don’t bring it into the house. Burn that fucker to the ground. Hell, if you ever come in contact with ...

What movie? You didn’t tell me about any movie! The meta is strong in the remake of The Blob. Too bad this remake often gets ignored because this version gets a lot of things about remakes damn right. There is a lot to love about this flick and, believe it ...

It’s time to go back. Clocking in at a breezy 109 minutes, The Wizard of Oz is one of the finest examples of fantasy escapism that we have in film history. Let that soak in for a minute. Perhaps things would have been different had WWII not been right around the corner, but fact is fact ...

The Firefly Clan is back! That’s right, they survived the shootout that marked the end of The Devil’s Rejects and, for the past decade, they have been rotting behind bars. Except, as the movie begins, there seems to be a change of direction in the condemning wind circulating ...
