Never before have a weaponized can of pumpkin pie filling and a sexualized leg of KFC dark meat been used to such hilariously cringe-worthy NC-17 effect as in Killer Joe, the latest collaboration between Academy Award-winning director William Friedkin and...
Since when did Total Recall become as well-regarded as Predator? That’s right. Never. Let’s clear the air once and for all. Paul Verhoeven’s Total Recall is NOT a classic of the genre. With the release and subsequent criticism of Len Wiseman’s remake alongside this ...
It will be interesting in a decade or two from now to see just how this era of film will be viewed, especially when it comes to originality. Nothing really is sacred, so it’s anyone’s guess what remake will come down the pipeline, but what saddens is the fact that anything...
In this frustrating election year, The Campaign has a chance to score big. We all need a laugh…especially at politicians. Politically incorrect satire? Not quite. No doubt Will Ferrell and Zach Galifianakis bring the politically incorrect to the table. Moments of comedic ...
Aaron Cross is not the hero we need right now; he’s the hero we deserve. Blame our insatiable appetites for never ending sagas. We, myself included, wanted more Jason Bourne and when Matt Damon and his go-to director Paul Greengrass couldn’t crack ...
Being born in 1975 put me at a disadvantage for ever seeing The Boogens during its limited run at drive-in movie screens across America. Independently released, even copies of it on VHS were a rarity to come across. As a film student in Los Angeles, countless hours spent ...
In the summer that saw Pixar falter once again, it is pretty easy to declare ParaNorman, from the studio that brought Coraline to life, as the best animated feature of the year so far. The mighty production houses are slipping or maintaining status quo and their ...
“This is no fairy tale. The stories they wrote were true.” The world renowned classic Grimms' fairytales come to life like never before in Grimm, a cult-like supernatural television series from the producers of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel ...
Hell hath no fury like a 20 man Swat team unit given the task of removing a ruthless crime lord and his hundreds of cronies from an apartment high rise. Intense and insanely violent - but never in bad taste - The Raid: Redemption turns war into art ...
Amity Island would like to welcome you back. The beach, however, is still closed. Jaws, as a BIG part of Universal’s 100th anniversary, has finally arrived on blu-ray with a detailed and loving restoration that adds new life to a film first released in 1975 ...
Take me to your teacher. High school is already weird enough. Leave it to writer/director Robert Rodriguez to make it even weirder by stocking its halls with horny teens, jocks, geeks, and aliens. The Faculty may not be the sharpest film in the world but, as a rip on all the ...
Joseph Gordon-Levitt does not have the best of days in David Koepp’s Premium Rush. We do, though. It's a solid, forward-thinking action flick that tries a bit too hard to be more than what it is: a high octane B-movie without need for brakes. With Koepp ...
Rumor has it that when the John Carpenter and Debrah Hill penned (and, once again, Michael Myers-less) script for Halloween 4 was turned down, the duo promptly sold their rights to all things Halloween to producer Moustapha Akkad. Whether...
Surprise! The knife is not yet blunt. After the solid return to form in Dwight H. Little’s Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers, things get really interesting in the darker and mythos expanding Halloween 5. Its critics condemn ...
When the name Bondurant is mentioned in the smoky hills of rural Virginia, everything stops. People freeze dead in their tracks, critters scurry into the deep brush or beneath the baseboards, and the incessant drone of the tree-bound cicadas is replaced by ...
Ah, the unblinking camcorder eye. Just what does it see? In co-writer and director Eduardo Sanchez’s Lovely Molly, that red eye records plenty of disturbing images but none more terrifying than a mind unwinding due to dark family secrets and serious drug abuse ...
AMC, perhaps learning from the mistake of their minimalist approach to bonus material on the first release of Season One, do The Walking Dead and its fans a solid with the release of The Walking Dead: The Complete Season Two on blu-ray. The series ...
When it was first announced that Piranha, the 1978 original spoof of Jaws, which was directed by Joe Dante, written by John Sayles, and produced by Roger Corman was going to be remade, an audible groan was heard from the masses. This would never work so...
Every son wants to make his mother proud. It’s a primordial need. This includes two sub-human brothers Ike (Holden McGuire) and Addley (Billy Ray McQuade) whose elderly mother spurs them on to perform violent sex acts and murderous deeds towards ...
It’s the movie that just won’t die. Just when you think it’s safe to return the laboratory and conduct your experiments again, H.P. Lovecraft’s Re-Animator in its entire gory splendor returns. This time, at long last, it takes to the halls of Science and Disgust ...
Said to be Buster Keaton’s favorite of his own films (and the definite precursor to his celebrated masterpiece The General), 1924’s The Navigator is proof positive that Keaton was an ingenious comedic talent. No silent movement from his tiny frame ...
If you conduct a Google search about Syfy’s Haven, chances are you won’t find a wealth of information about this ongoing television series. That, my friends, is a shame. Based loosely of Stephen King’s The Colorado Kid, the remarkable mythology behind the supernatural ...
Fans of campy horror rejoice! Those bizarrely goofy Killer Klowns are returning to the planet and this time they’ll land their circus tent of curiosities in glorious high definition. And just in time, too. The cinematic world was getting a bit boring. Right up there ...
Fairy tales are all the rage in Hollywood. As source material, the 19th century Brothers Grimm tales are dark and, visually, make for exciting worlds to explore. First-time director Rupert Sanders capitalizes on his stylized commercial and music video experiences ...
One would have to dig clear through the classic era of Universal Monster Movies in order to find a title that is a Jeepers Creepers equivalent in tone, structure, and suspense. And that’s a good thing. Writer/director Victor Salva explores his love of classic creature ...
To celebrate the release of the Indiana Jones series on blu ray, we offer a four part retrospective article series honouring one of the most beloved franchises in film history ...
For most of his career in film writer/director David Ayer has earned a living telling the violent stories of police officers on call. From films like Training Day to Street Kings, Ayer’s playground is the hard-hitting streets of Los Angeles. He knows this territory well and ...
To celebrate the release of the Indiana Jones series on blu ray, we offer a four part retrospective article series honouring one of the most beloved franchises in film history ...
Writer/director Tim Burton does writer/director Ed Wood in the charmingly disjointed biopic comedy Ed Wood. This marvelously wicked ode to Hollywood’s worst director is, to this day, Burton’s only attempt at Art House and his least grossing film. It is also his ...
If there’s one film that seriously needs your reevaluation this Halloween season, it’s Tommy Lee Wallace’s Halloween 3: Season of the Witch. The title is a bit misleading as the knife-wielding Michael Myers does not appear in the film at all, but this horror film ...
