The cool creature effects of John Carl Buechler, Anthony Doublin and John Naulin (the mad geniuses behind TerrorVision and Re-Animator ) receive the ultimate gory upgrade with Shout Factory’s stellar...

As if G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra never happened (and that $300 million-earner was only four years ago), the franchise (too soon?) gets a swift, rebooted kick in the ass thanks to the presence of Dway...

Apparently, Back to the Future wasn’t all that unique of a time travelling movie. I’m sure producer Michael Nesmith (of The Monkees) and director William Dear, the co-creators of the 1982 sci-fi/weste...

The lack of respect The Hudsucker Proxy gets is criminal. Anyone who proudly proclaims to be a Coen brothers fan should give this release a serious chance. For me, it’s an easy favorite of theirs in t...

Badlands and its harrowing killing spree is pretty much still, for lack of a better word, badass. Based on the true story of one Charles Starkweather and Caril Fugate, writer/director Terence Malick’s...

Monster movies often get a bad reputation – especially cheaply made knock-offs – but, like this multi-cultural production of cheese and carnivores, what works about them is often overlooked. It’s a sh...

When it comes to teenage terror, one cannot get any better than the menacing red gelatin threat of director Irvin S. Yeaworth’s The Blob . It’s an efficient horror house scare and, as far as entertain...

In just over an hour, silent comedian Buster Keaton achieves more laughs in College than most comedians do in their entire career. His mastery of physical comedy is in its peak form and the short, mad...

Imagine Steven Spielberg's film career without direction. What would that look like? Well, as a survivor of his output in the mid-to-late 80's, I can tell you it isn't very pretty. The adult fantasy m...

Yul Brynner’s iconic silver-eyed gunslinger makes his debut on blu-ray this month and, as if no time has passed, Westworld reclaims its throne as the unstoppable thriller that it is. This lean and mea...

Disney’s $200-million return to the wonderful world of Oz is neither great nor powerful. It is interesting that Sam Raimi, director of The Evil Dead series and the Tobey Maguire Spider-Man franchise,...

What’s big and tall and heading to theaters across the nation? Jack the Giant Slayer and, yes, it’s every bit as fee-fi-fo-FUN as it should be. It’s sure to anger the cynical moviegoer with its Prince...
