Ladies and gentlemen, in my time as a film reviewer I have journeyed to many a far off foreign place to bring you the news – good or bad – about new, domestic releases. I have combed the bottom of the barrel; raided your father’s closet; even traversed your ...
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 Princess Bride-esque Fairy Tale vibes. While the dangerously wrong-headed ...
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 mean thriller was an afternoon staple of my youth but, seeing it now as an...
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 material he churns out is Always paper-thin and fails to Hook you with ...
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, made immediately following his now certified classic The General ...
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 entertainment goes, it’s perfectly structured to still get a response from modern ...
The atmospheric residue of Chan-wook Park’s Stoker is not easily scrubbed off. Not that you’ll want to get clean so soon after its credits roll, though. No, the normal reaction for the type of on-screen psychosis is to bask in its glow and thank your lucky stars that ...
“It is a time of dread…” and so begins Willow and the partnership between actor-turned-director Ron Howard and creator/executive producer George Lucas. It wasn’t their first partnership. That was American Graffiti way back in 1973, of course. But it was ...
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 shame. It’s also to be expected from a genre not ...
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 debut is a poignant bloodbath; a film that doesn't ...
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 that it’s a straight up ballbuster of a comedy. Full of dark visual gags ...
Serialized science fiction rarely gets as good as Canada’s Continuum. Created by Simon Barry, Continuum centers on the dramatic conflict between a group of socially aware rebels from the year 2077 who time-travel to Vancouver, BC in the year 2012 and the ...
Universal’s monster catalogue had long been dormant, come the 1950s, and a smaller British production house called Hammer were savvy enough to recognise the potential of plundering those long beloved characters. They had already made a successful foray ...
You’ve got my attention, Mr. Wong. Opening with a riddle involving an ax, a slug, and a reanimated neo-nazi who has had his head stitched back on with weed trimmer line, John Dies at The Endproudly announces the return of writer/director Don Coscarelli (Bubba ...
Roaring onto Blu-ray and VOD everywhere, are the notoriously funny Baytown Outlaws. This gang of dirtball sleazoids – much like the film with its mesh-up spaghetti western meets 1970s drive-in vibe – aren’t aiming to be taken seriously but they sure are having ...
