Welcome back to the Interzone. This is not a place for those unfamiliar with the lasting effects of strong narcotics and paranoia. It is a place for the sad and lonely or quite possibly the sad junkie...
Imagine if Freddy Krueger took the night off from his familiar Elm Street haunts and called in a favor to his good friend Stitches the Clown to get some revenge killing done. Stitches is that movie. C...
Jackie Robinson still matters. Major League Baseball, retiring his number at the end of this year with Yankee closer Mariano Rivera’s last season, knows this. Writer/director Brian Helgeland also know...
Sometimes stark naked ambition alone can create a lasting legacy. Morris Engel’s Little Fugitive is all the proof you need. It’s not much to look at but its visual poetry has an unmatched beauty. It’s...
Roaring onto Blu-ray and VOD everywhere, are the notoriously funny Baytown Outlaws. This gang of dirtball sleazoids – much like the film with its mesh-up spaghetti western meets 1970s drive-in vibe –...
You’ve got my attention, Mr. Wong. Opening with a riddle involving an ax, a slug, and a reanimated neo-nazi who has had his head stitched back on with weed trimmer line, John Dies at The End proudly a...
Sam Raimi’s spooky old cabin – isolated in the deep, dark, twisted woods of rural, America – somehow exists outside of time. The newly reimagined Evil Dead – appearing some thirty plus years after the...

Making an inferior and unnecessary sequel to a seriously solid film is nothing new to Hollywood. Producers and studios gamble all the time with sequels. Sometimes they win big and sometimes they lose....
The cool creature effects of John Carl Buechler, Anthony Doublin and John Naulin (the mad geniuses behind TerrorVision and Re-Animator ) receive the ultimate gory upgrade with Shout Factory’s stellar...
As if G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra never happened (and that $300 million-earner was only four years ago), the franchise (too soon?) gets a swift, rebooted kick in the ass thanks to the presence of Dway...
Apparently, Back to the Future wasn’t all that unique of a time travelling movie. I’m sure producer Michael Nesmith (of The Monkees) and director William Dear, the co-creators of the 1982 sci-fi/weste...
The lack of respect The Hudsucker Proxy gets is criminal. Anyone who proudly proclaims to be a Coen brothers fan should give this release a serious chance. For me, it’s an easy favorite of theirs in t...
Badlands and its harrowing killing spree is pretty much still, for lack of a better word, badass. Based on the true story of one Charles Starkweather and Caril Fugate, writer/director Terence Malick’s...
