Disney’s $200-million return to the wonderful world of Oz is neither great nor powerful. It is interesting that Sam Raimi, director of The Evil Dead series and the Tobey Maguire Spider-Man franchise,...

What’s big and tall and heading to theaters across the nation? Jack the Giant Slayer and, yes, it’s every bit as fee-fi-fo-FUN as it should be. It’s sure to anger the cynical moviegoer with its Prince...

Ladies and gentlemen, in my time as a film reviewer I have journeyed to many a far off foreign place to bring you the news – good or bad – about new, domestic releases. I have combed the bottom of the...

Elia Kazan’s On the Waterfront won 8 academy awards in 1955 and could still win those awards if released, as is, today. This is more than just a movie. Kazan’s ability to capture reality is more than...

Poor Renny Harlin. What went down as arguably his best (and certainly most atmospheric) film and intended American debut, Prison , never saw the light of day in what was supposed to be its big theatri...

That’s right, fellow freaks, TerrorVision is back in print! Finally freed from its VHS prison by the kind folks over a Shout!/Scream Factory, TerrorVision gets coupled with another gory gem from the l...

I’m pretty sure no one saw this coming. Pay little attention to the “inspired by a true story” opening suggestion. The statement comes with its fair share of expected emotional bear traps for cynics a...

Bad hairdos, really large insects, and gore, gore, gore is what you’ll find inside this skin-crawling nest. Yes, it’s the six-legged bug who gets toasted and then roasted in this creature feature prod...

The man behind those Wu-Tang slash and burn head-bobbing beats, the RZA, makes his directorial debut and revitalizes the martial arts genre with a film saturated with ridiculous amounts of blood and h...

Side Effects is supposed to be writer/director Steven Soderbergh’s goodbye to the cinema and filmmaking and while most are not convinced that he can successfully fade away we have to, at this point, t...

Easily the best thing about Here Comes the Boom is that its executive producer, Adam Sandler, does not make an appearance. Designed to be a feel good movie in the vein of Rocky and Warrior , Frank Cor...

Digital or film? Those are your choices for the future of moviemaking. Do we fall forward or fall back and rely on the natural look of film to carry us into the future? Discuss. Chris Kenneally’s new...

Yippee ki yay, double-dipper! It’s Die Hard ’s 25 th anniversary celebration but you won’t find much of a party going on here. The disappointing collection from 20 th Century Fox is essentially the sa...

It’s been heralded as a minor classic. It’s also the first movie to showcase zombies – whether the walking dead or just poisoned. Let’s be honest, though. It’s far beyond the appropriate time to recog...
