Ninja, kick the damn rabbit! Arrow didn’t just restore these movies—they ambushed my adulthood and reminded me I’m still emotionally weak for guys in rubber suits. To put it bluntly, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movies were never perfect, but Arrow’s release lands so hard it retroactively ...
Pee‑wee Herman cannonballing into that absurdly oversized pool at Francis’ house (er, mansion) is exactly the energy Criterion leans into with their release of Pee‑wee’s Big Adventure—big, splashy, unapologetically weird, and so committed to its own vibe that you either surrender to the joy or ...
Lock your doors, polish your spheres, and buckle up in the ’71 Cuda—because Phantasm has never looked this wicked. The Tall Man stalks sharper than ever in glorious 4K, his polyester suits practically glowing with menace, while those chrome death orbs gleam like disco balls forged ...
Okay, so 2003 horror was… how do we put this kindly… the cinematic equivalent of a mall fountain. Everything was glossy, safe, and engineered to offend absolutely no one. Studios were terrified of real gore, real grime, or anything that smelled like the weird, dangerous VHS energy Gen X grew up ...

Okay, so The Amazing Bulk is honestly one of the weirdest movies I have ever seen in my entire life, and I’ve watched the original Super Mario Bros movie like 5 times. This movie was released in 2012 and is supposed to be similar to The Incredible Hulk, but if the Hulk ...
Bob Clark’s Black Christmas isn’t just a horror film—it’s a masterclass in suspense, dark humor, and pure holiday terror. Critics at the time may have punted it around, but the joke’s on them: this Canadian classic helped define the slasher genre and still terrifies audiences today. Thanks to ...
Get ready to get toxic. The janitor who fell into a vat of radioactive sludge is back in glorious 4K — uglier, gloopier, and nastier than ever. Four films of mutant mayhem, over-the-top gore, and darkly hilarious chaos await. Includes the original 1984 classic, the slapstick-stuffed sequels, and Citizen ...
