Holy Shit, Mr. Roger Corman. Holee Shite. You are a God among mere mortal men. Seriously. Bloody Mama, starring Shelly Winters, would have been your masterpiece if your filmography and genre-hopping wasn’t so vast and extreme, changing with almost every ...

When we talk about the films of Sergio Leone, I wonder how many people realize we are only talking, specifically, about six movies. Six. No more and no less. And they are all inarguable considered film classics…except for one. Filmed in 1971, Duck, You Sucker! (aka ...

What’s a historical dramatic series to do when its lead actor hungers to star in some serious science fiction movies while its ratings grow? That’s the dilemma the talent behind the BBC’s Call the Midwife faced at the conclusion of its third season. Jessica Raine – who plays Jenny Lee ...

Okay, okay, okay. We all can agree that the star-powered disaster movie is in serious need of a vitamin shot. Hell, it’s in need of a shot of Jack Daniels (or at least the audience is) if it’s to even be taken somewhat seriously anymore. Even classics in the genre – like The ...

Samuel L. Jackson is the President of the United States. Imagine how cool that would be. The actor who can speak-shout “motherfucker” like no one else on this planet as the Commander in Chief of this great nation. That alone is worth the price of admission to see ...

Melissa McCarthy has had a bit of a rocky career since her breakthrough, Oscar-nominated performance in Bridesmaids back in 2011. While being riotously funny, the roles that showcase her natural talent have been of short supply. Even when paired with an equally ...

Hold onto your butts. This is going to be a bumpy read. Initially, I speculated that the extended embargo on press reviews for Colin Trevorrow’s Jurassic World was an indicator that perhaps all is not well inside the reopened park. The long-gestating blockbuster – while ...

When it comes to producing quality entertainment for children, there are few artists that can match the talents of Gerry and Sylvia Anderson. The duo and their creation of Supermarionation within AP Films produced some rather exciting programs (Fireball XL5 and Stingray) ...

And. I. Still. Have. Chills. That’s how insanely good Pixar’s Inside Out is. One could nitpick and point to faults in a frenzied middle but, with a concept as daring as the one presented here, there is simply no argument one could legitimately make to dissuade you from embracing ...

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 ...

By land AND by sea; that’s the territory of Peter Benchley’s Creature, a miniseries presented on blu-ray in two parts, which was originally broadcast in 1998 on The Hallmark Channel. Did you miss it? You aren’t alone. It certainly didn’t make a ratings killing for yet another undersea ...
