Big hair. Shoulder pads. Casual sex. And Andrew Dice Clay. Anyone else miss the 1980s? I mean, who’d have thought the words “safe” and “sex” would ever appear in the same sentence? ...

This movie is proof that downed US F-111 bombers and curious little boys do not mix. Make no mistake about it, the MVD Rewind Collection absolutely saves this film from its VHS dustbin obscurity. The cover art – featuring a “Be Kind Rewind” sticker on the front – is all sorts ...

This is a movie about a mutant 8-foot-tall sheep. Let that image take root. It is both disturbing, overstuffed, and hilarious. For that reason alone, Godmonster of Indian Flants is a must-see B-movie designed especially for the cinematic freaks out there. The ground trembles ...
