“Wayne!  Coffee break!” Everything about Giant from the Unknown leads me to believe that it might be one of the films that influenced David Lynch to do what he does with film.  You've got buckets of hot coffee, a lizard in a rock, hallowed out lodges, crazy creatures walking out from thick ...

Do not fear, Max Cloud is here! Side-scrolling gamers and Scott Adkins (Ip Man 4: The Finale, Doctor Strange, Accident Man, and The Expendables 2) fans might be interested in checking out The Intergalactic Adventures of Max Cloud, but EVERYONE should be warned that ...

“Watch. Her entire body is going to get zombiefied . . . including her anus.”  A weird sentence to come out of the mouth of my wife as she sits next to me watching Sky Sharks, a German produced but English-friendly splatter and trashfest with tons of gratuitous nudity, but there it was, a nude  ...
