Captain Marvel (2019) - Movie Review

Details: Published: 07 March 2019; Written by Christopher Symonds

So here we are, staring down the tail end of the MCU’s Phase 3, with only Avengers: End Game remaining. Marvel had already triumphantly pumped us for the inevitable finale, but in an interesting move, they have made the penultimate film in Phase 3 a somewhat new ...

Splatter University (1984) - Blu-ray Review

Details: Published: 06 March 2019; Written by Loron Hays

She's a fugitive kind! Slashers probably should only drag bodies on the ground and not the actual pacing. I’m not saying Splatter University is a horrible horror film, but truly the only thing that can save this wacky mess from itself are the drinking games you are going to make ...

This country’s opioid crisis is hitting Hollywood in a big way of late as a couple of new films dealing with opioid addiction have released in cinemas recently. It is sad – and a bit ironic – that a devastating societal meltdown has become such lucrative fodder for the industry’s ...

This is why you don’t bring cats anywhere. Fuckin’ cats, man. The hissing; the clawing; the weird mutant living inside of them. Uninvited, for those who can take your bad guys being George Kennedy, Alex Cord, and Clu Gulager, is a literal handbook in all the reasons why ...

Bloody New Year (1987) - Blu-ray Review

Details: Published: 06 March 2019; Written by Loron Hays

Because making sense is so overrated! Director Norman J. Warren's Bloody New Year might not ever make a whole hell of a lot of sense, but it sure is fun. Time loops are like that, I suppose. But when six friends arrive on an island with an abandoned hotel on it, they have no ...

There's Nothing Out There! (1991) - Blu-ray Review

Details: Published: 05 March 2019; Written by Loron Hays

“Is this the camp by the lake?” “No. This is the house by the pond.” Hilarious. Kids born to be murder victims. That’s merely one of the great lines in the super-soaked B-movie classic from 1991, right before the decade started to drown itself in plaid and combat boots. Shot to be fun and ...

The Possession of Hannah Grace (2018) - Blu-ray Review

Details: Published: 05 March 2019; Written by Loron Hays

The unnatural body contortions and bed thumpings happen early in The Possession of Hannah Grace. What we have come to expect from these movies of possession is shoved right in our faces before we are even ready for our popcorn ...

Details: Published: 05 March 2019; Written by Loron Hays

Harry Trent (Matt Mitler) is us all. Wisecracking, full of piss and vinegar, and one hell of a pilot, his roundabout with fate occurs happens on the day the Earth is destroyed. You see, Trent has just stolen a space shuttle and, high above the earth, he watches as hairy ...

Used Cars (1980) - Blu-ray Review

Details: Published: 04 March 2019; Written by Loron Hays

I hate buying cars. I hate the hassle and I hate dealing with the annoying sales people. But I know lots of other people love the art of the deal. And that’s where Used Cars, a film executive produced by Steven Spielberg and John Milius, comes into play. It is sort of a bridge ...
