Don’t Go In The Woods … Alone!, a cult horror film from 1981, is the attention-grabbing title that always screamed at me to watch when I used to frequent the VHS rental store tucked inside a row of seedy businesses in Vista, California. The title said it all. Oh, yes, ...

Ronald D. Moore, the showrunner who turned a rebooted Battlestar Galactica into a modern classic series, is back again doing what he does best. This time, though, his aim is not for the stars. It’s 1743 Scotland by way of a postwar England circa 1945. Working with Diana ...

Suddenly, every other horror movie coming out this year now looks better. Thrusting audiences straight into the horror of isolation, Muck takes that GEICO commercial – the one spoofing the horror genre – and turns into a 90-minute feature. The problem is that the movie isn’t nearly as funnay or as smart ...

You’ve probably already heard the bad word of mouth about Get Hard, kiddos. The critics have spoken. Now, you get your say. Oh, it’s a dumb comedy and full of offensive jabs at almost every living thing to be sure BUT I was never expecting Shakespeare or, hell, Laurel ...

Operating like a fever dream about some bizarre nightmare in a haunted house, The Beyond – directed by Lucio Fulci – is still considered the director’s masterpiece. This underrated film is still, in my opinion, a movie without the proper audience. Unique in its ability to mesmerize ...

Hyperbole in this century is rampant. Every second nitwit is a hero; the latest doohickie will ‘change the world’. Drives this reviewer nuts. So when I say that this film undoes a great injustice and sheds light on a man who did, in fact, change the world, you better believe me. ...

Because we don’t give up on family. Spanning Tokyo, the Dominican Republic, Azerbaijan, Abu Dhabi and LA, the gas tank of Furious 7 should already be sputtering on empty. The fact that the series – and specifically this movie - is fresher and more energetic than it has any ...

Gather your wits, the elderly super-sleuth returns for a second round of investigations. While many actresses have filled her shoes, none but the great Joan Hickson can boast about being “favorite” to play the part of Miss Jane Marple by the author, Agatha Christie ...

While it may roll out of its cinematic jar as slow as molasses, Journey to the Far Side of the Sun remains a strong spread of science fiction gooeyness. Released in 1969, this Gerry and Sylvia Anderson (Thunderbirds, Space 1999) production deals with the discovery of ...

Imagine what the earth would look like without its green foliage. Imagine the heat. Imagine the barren and scarred landscape. Widespread deserts as far as the eye can see. That’s the future imagined in Silent Running, a little science fiction gem from 1972. While we ...

The opening sequence. Pulsing music surges. An unnamed red liquid drizzles out over the darkness. Our lady of justice is formed, bathed by this crimson element. Familiar cityscapes are covered, too. New York City. A bridge forms. Following it, an angel and its church ...

Cinematic horror has worn many faces over the years. Few actors such as those of Vincent Price have actually earned a reputation for being the genre’s torchbearer. The man “gets it” and made a bankable career in films we now celebrate as horror classics. ...

It has been 16 years since The Blair Witch Project caught audiences off-guard with its creative use of previously recorded material in order to tell a story. The narrative style stuck, much to chagrin of critics and a few of my friends, and continues to be applied to various ...

Sometimes less of something is better. The Blacksmith is back in RZA’s The Man with the Iron Fists 2. It is, at once, a movie no one thought possible considering the original film’s lukewarm response back in 2012. Directed by cinematographer Roel Reiné ...
