Once upon a time ago, a movie as massive as Universal’s silent classic The Hunchback of Notre Dame could be made. It is considered one of the most unusual productions of the time period. For decades after its filming, the Universal lot was jammed with the façade of a super ...
Aging Bad Ass Frank Vega (Danny Trejo) returns to protect his Los Angeles neighborhood from the villains, the heathens, and the drug lords that surround his boxing community center. But this time he has help from a local bodega owner Bernie ...
“I close this memo with a very earnest plea that you consent to this brief visual pattern to which I gave so many long hard days of work.” That is the closing line in writer/director Orson Welles’ 58-page memo to Universal after finally seeing the studio’s version of his movie. ...
Leave it to Judi Dench, who squeezes every bit of emotion from each and every closeup in Stephen Frears’ movie, to actually bring a tear to my eye. Philomena is a heart wrenching road trip from Ireland to America and then back to the homeland that is definitely worth taking ...
And the controversy continues. Violent and heavy on the nudity, Get Carter is a rather mean-spirited revenge flick that earns its reputation alongside Michael Caine’s badass performance as Jack Carter, a man on a mission. He won’t be content until it is completed ...
From the sharp writing to the clever plotting, The Spectacular Spider-Man – appearing on the Kids' WB programming block of The CW and later on Marvel's sister network Disney XD from 2008 to 2009 – ended much too quickly. Series creators Greg Weisman and Victor ...
‘She was a chunky girl with pimples on her neck and back and buttocks, her wet hair completely without color.' -Stephen King The story that gave Stephen King to the world has been adapted as a cinematic horror classic once before. Having nearly every horror classic ...
This May the Toho Company, Ltd – known around the world for their special effects bonanza of man-in-a-rubber-suit monster flicks - strikes back with quite an impressive haul of Godzilla vs. titles for your blu-ray player. While some titles ...
When the winged menace of Rodan – long thought dead – returns to attack the innocent, who are you gonna call? Godzilla, that’s who! As long as you can guarantee that the mutated dinosaur is on your side. And when you can’t, you better hope to hell that ...
…which brings us to the death of the original Godzilla. After 22 films and countless battles, Toho paves the way for the American version of Godzilla and kills off the one and only King of the Monsters. Directed by Takao Okawara, with special effects by Koichi Kawakita, ...
Mothra and the two singing fairies return in the 27th Godzilla film, Godzilla: Tokyo S.O.S. much to the satisfaction of die-hard fans. The errors of director Masaaki Tezuka and Masahiro Yokotani’s script are forgivable in light of the massive action scenes on display ...
At long last, writer/director Jimmy Huston’s Final Exam arrives to once again fill dorm rooms with its own particular brand of horror. It is the appropriate time of the year to release this cult classic, considering the amount of studying and school pranks occurring as students and teachers ...
The passing of time favors 1981’s Evilspeak, a film a little too late to ride the whole Satanic scene of the late 1970’s but way in front of the curve as far as computers are concerned. Starring Clint Howard as a military cadet so bullied that he turns to Satanic forces via a ...
When you think of a romantic comedy your brain doesn’t immediately turn toward science fiction. Or does it? After all, isn’t the dizzying aspect of falling into love comparable to a loss of gravity? Certainly, with the right person, it can be. Her offers a new approach to the idea of romance ...
Endless wonder. That’s what Warehouse 13 promised when it debuted on Syfy in 2009. To its credit, endless wonder is exactly what the show delivered. The five seasons that make up this set are a fan’s wet dream realized…almost. Universal Home Media has yet to give this ...
Infamy has always followed the early 70s pornographic film Deep Throat. It is arguably the most famous and certainly most successful financially (earning over 600 million dollars) of pornos, even 40 years later. Its star was equally infamous, not just for her involvement in the ...
It is an ever growing cynical world we live in today, and even the best of us, with the pace of life, sometime forget to look at those around us. In those forgotten there are the meek, the quiet, the wallflower who nobody remembers, despite their quiet contributions. In ...
I have a great and genuine appreciation for director Steven Spielberg’s 22nd film, The Terminal. From the set design to the love of America’s jazz, the delicate film is – for me – a touching and beautiful tribute to a nation waking up from a massive tragedy. This is probably ...
Watching a rubber-suited Godzilla fling rocks at a rubber-suited giant lobster might not by your cup of tea but it works for someone raised on a steady diet of these Toho flicks from the swinging 1960’s. This unfortunately titled film, released originally as Godzilla, Ebirah ...
Godzilla flies! Godzilla vs. Hedorah is one of the most creative of all of the Godzilla flicks. It’s also one of the least successful due to its dark themes, dark tale, and even darker shoot. Opening with a disturbing shot of a female mannequin face up in some toxic sludge ...
Are you Team Godzilla or Team Gigan? Because, in the fight against giant mutated cockroaches, it matters. Yes, alien cockroaches are behind the plans to do away with Godzilla and his pal, Anguirus, who swim across the ocean to save mankind from having their home ...
Grateful Dead. Janis Joplin. The Band. Buddy Guy. What do they all have in common? Well, other than being fantastic rock bands, artists, and live performers, they once upon a time in 1970 shared the same train as it traveled through Canada and played a series of ...
Directed and produced by Howard Hawks, Red River is proof that, if pushed by the demands of a well-written script, John Wayne could actually act. I am not a Wayne fan by any means but my father raised me on a steady diet of Sunday westerns and I’ve seen more than ...
The pervading metaphor of “Manifest Destiny” as American soldiers turn to cannibalism in the 1840s is what sells director Antonia Bird’s horror film and makes it worth revisiting. Ravenous was released in 1999 and, sunk by mediocre to poor reviews, most ignored the film ...
Seven months after the 2nd Mass arrives in Charleston, the gang realizes – what with new characters, new aliens, new technology, and new presidents – that all is not what it seems. Perhaps the viewer will too. So much has happened in the gulf between Season Two ...
The story of the 47 Ronin is by all accounts the most famous story of samurai in the history of Japan. Many plays, books, films have apparently been dedicated to the true story of 47 samurai who would accept certain death themselves to avenge the unjust death that befell ...
In 1922 a naughty fledgling German production company stole the story of Dracula by Bram Stoker and made one of cinema’s most revered horror movies: Nosferatu. Prana Film went bankrupt with their first and last production after Stoker’s widow successfully sued ...
The fans complaining that AMC’s Duck Dynasty has changed or stayed from its roots are disappointed because they are only just now realizing that this “reality” program is in fact a sitcom – which means it is fake as hell. It is formulaic, scripted, and plotted. It is also still very funny and worth a look for its fans ...
They’re humans turned inside out and still alive! Famed B-movie producer strikes again. This time he brings slippery Italian Fishmen to the silver screen in the heavily re-worked (or butchered as some would suggest) Screamers. Of course, in keeping with Corman’s ...
