Michael Keaton is Birdman. The actor who, in my opinion, played the best cinematic version of Batman turns the role on its head (or is that on its wings??!) in Birdman , the latest art house flick fro...

At long last. Every icon deserves a sequel. Scream Factory’s excellent treatment of the horror films of Vincent Price is continued in another 7-film second serving. The films in this treasured collect...

Keanu Reeves turns 50 this year. With age comes wisdom, I’m told. Perhaps that is why his portrayal as the super lethal John Wick, a former hitman fresh out of retirement, is such a crowd-pleasing goo...

Santos Alcocer’s Cauldron of Blood is such a weird film. After simmering in its own juices for three years after its completion, this bizarre tale about a blind sculptor named Badulescu who uses the b...

Machismo gets a proper dusting in writer/director David Ayer’s Fury . This WWII tale of American soldiers at odds with themselves and the Germans around them is as grizzly and as violent as the war ge...

The verdict is in. The Judge is one of the better films I have seen this year. The unstoppable force meets the immovable object, in a Downey-fied, Duvall-laden holds-no-punches emotional slobber knock...

The genius of Peter Sellers is that he can, in fact, carry an entire picture by saying very little. Just watching him “become” is the joy. Whether he is playing Chance the Gardner in Being There or Dr...

And now the 15th century “Dark Knight” gets his very own reboot. Unfortunately, Dracula Untold should have remained exactly that. This fangless reimagining of Vlad the Impaler’s origins is a certifiab...

James Wan’s smartly made The Conjuring gets its first spin-off with Annabelle . The demonic doll that kicked off Wan’s movie gets her own headlining gig. You shouldn’t go into this film with high expe...

Ten films. 15 discs. It previously seemed impossible. Considering the myriad of copyright owners, the directors involved, and all the producers in the franchise’s checkered and somewhat spotty past, a...

According to Warner Bros, the “scream” always rises to the top and, with release of this 6-disc set, the evil has arrived. Or was it always here? Warner Bros unleashes The Exorcist: The Complete Antho...

The creative wizards over at Laika, who previously brought you Coraline and Paranorman , have waved their wands and – POOF! – done it again. The Boxtrolls is another morbidly funny entry in their 3D s...

In cine-massacre history, there are few films that compare to the in-the-gut feeling Tobe Hooper’s The Texas Chainsaw Massacre leaves you with. Every imperfection in this low-budget Slasher works in t...

In my younger and more vulnerable years, I mistakenly thought David Lynch’s Eraserhead was a wicked trip through a sort of nightmarish version of an industrial Wonderland without rhyme or reason. I di...
