“Sometimes to love someone, you got to be a stranger.” The screen opens on a valley of ash, gray and lifeless; it’s like God forgot to pay the color bill. Hope? None. Joy? Dead. It’s the cinematic equivalent of a hangover at 7 a.m. Enter K (Ryan Gosling), trudging into a protein farm to retire a ...
I sometimes wonder if there’s anything more terrifying for a filmmaker than being handed the keys to a beloved classic more than two decades after the original—especially when that classic happens to be Psycho. It’s the sort of assignment that could get a person laughed out of the room or institutionalized ...
As much as I admire Anthony Perkins’ acting chops, Psycho IV: The Beginning is really only for those desperate to complete the full Norman Bates saga. It tries to do double duty—acting as both a prequel and a third sequel—but that’s about as ambitious as it gets. Beyond the novelty of seeing young Norman ...
Let’s face it, Batman Begins was a warm-up act. The film is quaint and, while it strips away the neon and batnipples from previous incarnations, feels clunky. Oh, it’s still essential viewing as it resets the genre, but it’s nowhere near perfect ...
Finally, all the absurdist tragedy that defined Gen X's formative years has been neatly packaged in a single, gleaming Blu-ray set. This isn't just a collection of animated shorts; it's a masterclass in failure, sarcasm, and jazz piano. Charlie Brown's perpetual misfortunes, Lucy's ruthless manipulation, and ...
The Dark Knight didn’t just raise the bar for superhero movies—it threw the bar into the stratosphere and laughed as we tried to catch it. Ledger’s Joker still haunts the cultural psyche, proof that a comic-book villain can be terrifying, tragic, and oddly ...
Picture this: a crowded corporate boardroom, fluorescent lights buzzing, suits shifting uncomfortably in their chairs. Then — boom — a man’s head detonates like a watermelon at a Gallagher show. Veins bulge, eyes roll back, and the room erupts in panic. That single moment, the infamous cranial ...
Let the Bat-hangover begin! Expectations were sky-high for Christopher Nolan. After the cultural one-two punch of The Dark Knight and Inception, audiences were primed for another mind-bending knockout. Instead, Nolan delivers a film that’s both epic and ...
If ever there was a movie that could make “Sweet Caroline” feel new again, it’s Song Sung Blue. Filmmaker Craig Brewer, best known for bringing earthy, musical energy to Hustle & Flow, turns his attention to a love story so improbably true it almost feels like a tall tale told ...
The next time I have to come in here I’m cracking skulls.” Look, if you don’t already know The Breakfast Club, then congratulations: you’ve been living under a rock, probably the same one Judd Nelson crawled out from before lighting his first cigarette in detention. John Hughes’ 1985 teen angst ...
Four films. One box. Infinite torment. Mr. King, Clive Barker is STILL the future of horror, and Arrow Video knows it. Opening Quartet of Torment is like solving the Lament Configuration itself—equal parts thrill, dread, and collector’s ecstasy. The packaging is gorgeous, the restorations are sharp ...
Ladies and Gentlemen, Richard Stanley is back, baby!Buckle up, because I’ve just stumbled on my new cinematic obsession. Color Out of Space doesn’t just sit next to Mandy in the hall of high-strangeness—it casually shoves it aside with a meteorite-powered uppercut. This film ...
There’s an old showbiz adage that says if you can’t stick the landing, at least make sure you fly spectacularly. Wicked: For Good, Jon M. Chu’s glossy follow-up to last year’s unexpectedly charming first installment, certainly flies — often, loudly, and with an avalanche of ...
Director Eli Roth (Cabin Fever, Hostel, The Green Inferno) turns down the gore dial and cranks up the mischief with his sexy, twisted take on Peter Traynor’s 1977 exploitation flick Death Game. Knock Knock isn’t just a better film than its predecessor—it’s a home-invasion horror-comedy cocktail ...
Okay, let’s get this out of the way: Psycho Goreman is pure, unhinged joy. Directed by Steven Kostanski, it stars Nita-Josee Hanna as the wickedly clever Mimi, Owen Myre as her mischievous little brother Luke, and Matt Kennedy as the growling, terrifying, but somehow adorably enslaved alien ...
