“Are you gonna bark all day, little doggie? Or are you gonna bite?” If one needed to sum up who Quentin Tarantino was in one word, I think the best one would be “pioneer.” He ushered in a new wave of film that is replicated over and over again, ad nauseum, until the entire pool is over saturated with ...

“Talk to me later. I’m killing myself.” With a noose hanging around his neck, dramatically (and quite insincerely) calling out the name of the gorgeous chambermaid he is in love with, this is probably one of the most brilliantly understated ways of introducing Bob Hope’s title character in Monsieur ...

There are few moments in the 1980’s output of horror titles as effective as the opening minutes of Tom Holland’s Child’s Play.

“I like being shipwrecked!” As far as Hitchcock romantic comedies go, well…you probably did not even know one existed! (I did not even know one existed). In fact, the whole idea that Alfred Hitchcock has quite a few comedies credited to his filmography seems more unnerving than any of his ...

The water! It’s the goddamn water! From the very beginning, there is something very forward-thinking about 1964’s The Flesh Eaters. It is as if the black-and-white creature feature absolutely predicted what teens and young adults would be wanting to see on the matinee silver screens as one ...
