Writer/director Nancy Meyers (The Parent Trap, Something’s Gotta Give) takes on the American generation gap and mixes in clichéd beats of gender role reversal in her latest called The Intern, a film which would come and go without much notice were it not for the surprising chemistry ...
When Olive Films announced that they would be releasing Republic's The Invisible Monster, a 12-part serial from 1950, on blu-ray my excitement shot through the roof. Audiences (myself included) would finally be able to see the the Phantom Ruler in all his HD glory ...
John Carpenter’s Christine is a masterpiece. There. I said it. There’s simply no other way to put it. Criminally underrated by damn near every critic, its release this week on blu – thanks to Sony Entertainment – offers me the opportunity to argue for its reconsideration as ...
Writer/director Eli Roth (Cabin Fever, Hostel I & II, and Aftershock) might just need to be crowned the new King of Putrid. A self-confessed connoisseur of gore and Grindhouse alum, Roth’s work in the genre is living proof that the exploitation flick is not forgotten and definitely ...
Wow. To think it was just earlier this week that I wrote about how gruesome Eli Roth’s The Green Inferno is and why that graphic repugnance is much needed in our uber-safeguarded world. Following in step with that line of thought comes director Denis Villeneuve ...

Writer/director Guillermo del Toro returns to the gothic and raids it like an undiscovered goldmine in his latest film, Crimson PeakBe warned, though.This is not the horror film you are expecting as the trailers are a bit misleading. This is horror by way of serious-minded novelists like ...
There’s a lot to like in Steven Spielberg’s Cold War-era spy thriller Bridge of Spies: reliving memories of those old “duck and cover” educational films; fedora-clad G-men tracking shadowy figures who dart in and out of New York subway cars; clandestine prisoner swaps between ...
Hilariously off-putting in its documenting of an anti-liberal, pro-Bush time period in American history, 2004’s Team America arrives on blu-ray this week from Warner Bros thanks to a newly minted distribution deal with Paramount. While the film’s creators have gone on the ...
There is an opportunity lost within The Last Witch Hunter, an opportunity to be much bigger in scope than it actually comes across as being. You may enjoy the fantasy flick but you’ll have to sit through a lot of the humdrum before getting there. This is slight entertainment ...
Being the second holiday-themed adventure for the Toy Story gang, one could easily expect the celebrated spirit of movie one, two, and three to be a bit diminished. That is, thankfully, not the case with The Toy Story That Time Forgot, last year’s offering on ABC to kickoff ...
