Still looking to mine the Star Wars vein of golden riches and fortune and glory in 2980, he mounted his most expensive production and put together a creative team (which included ...
Writer/director Neil Marshall doesn’t always get the respect he so admirably deserves. It seems that Hollywood has put all their eggs in Neill Blomkamp’s basket. Marshall, who has yet to fail my expectations, continues to deliver behind the scenes in Game of Thrones but to truly appreciate ...

There are few moments in the 1980’s output of horror titles as effective as the opening minutes of Tom Holland’s Child’s Play.

Now, this right here is the KA-RAZY chop Saki kung-fu that I miss about the action flicks from the 1980s!

An American Werewolf in London begins with Blue Moon howling across the speakers while pastoral settings flicker by. It isn’t until we get to “Written and Directed by John Landis” before we see any signs of life and it is a truck full of sheep, with two young American backpackers, David (David ...
Dirty O’Neil, released during the same year as The Swinging Cheerleaders and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, is yet another on wild romp through exploitation flicks. It is essentially about the love life of a small-town cop. Filled to the bring with backseat action, corny one-liners, and lots ...

“Dead or alive, you are coming with me.” When I first heard those words coming out from the lips of RoboCop (Peter Weller), I was hooked. Instantly. There was no looking back for this fat kid: RoboCop, making its debut in 1987, would be my summertime jam. The film might have been a surprise hit ...
Flesh Crawls! Blood Curdles! Phibes Lives again! Cat Women of the Moon? Check. Plan 9 From Outer Space? Double check. Both are films you have to bear witness to in order to believe. Barbarella? Oh, it’s a cosmic trip for sure. But, thanks to the mighty chops of Vincent Price and ...
