Flesh Crawls! Blood Curdles! Phibes Lives again! Cat Women of the Moon? Check. Plan 9 From Outer Space? Double check. Both are films you have to bear witness to in order to believe. Barbarella? Oh, it’s a cosmic trip for sure. But, thanks to the mighty chops of Vincent Price and ...

They can’t all be winners now can they? Don’t get me wrong. I love the original Star Trek franchise with a passion and Star Trek III: The Search for Spock has a special place in my heart BUT it just doesn’t survive the scrutiny of a critical lens, you know? The film is flawed in some of the ...

“The mob doesn’t think. It has a mind of its own.” In 1933, some loud-mouthed man with a tiny mustache and a weird haircut rose to power in the country of Germany. His name, I believe, was Adolf Hitler. You may have heard of him, no? Well, he established a dictatorship to replace ...

“Screw the heat. We don’t stop for nobody!” Wine. Women. Whiskey. And weed. Sounds like a good time, right? It isn't. Angels Hard As They Come, a biker exploitation classic with original music by Carp, should know. Things don't go as planned. ...

“Bones, there’s a thing out there.” Perfection in sound and vision looks like this. If you don’t get goosebumps over hearing Jerry Goldsmith’s epic preamble in the fully restored Director’s Cut of Star Trek: The Motion Picture then you ...

“You stinkin’ rat!” For crime flicks, High Sierra, directed by Raoul Walsh, is indeed a watershed moment as the gangster pictures of the 1930s gave way to the fatalism found in Film Noir, which would dominate the 1940s. Making spectacular use of its locations ...

Top secret genetic engineering gone wrong! This is what you get in this b-grade sequel (or is it a remake?) to the Corey Haim-led Watchers, a film no one remembers for good reason. With a bit more gore and a change in scenery, this creature feature pumps up the volume on its lifeless . ...

“They’re here.” Living in suburbia is HELL in and of itself. There, I said it. It doesn’t help matters at all to learn that your house - no matter how American it may seem - is built on top of a cemetery in which only the headstones were removed ...

Metallic hands and dark glasses! There can be only one Dr. Gogol! Maybe it is the warning that is issued as the film begins in total blackness or maybe it is the way that Peter Lorre is lit and filmed throughout this horror film, but Mad Love absolutely works its twisted ways in a modern viewing and ...

Dag Bandy means business! Opening with a wild party in which stoned bikers try to bed a bunch of women, Bury Me An Angel pulls a quick double-cross on its audience as the party ends when someone’s head gets blown clean ...

Beginning with a pixelated Atari-like Universal logo, complete with the familiar sounding bleeps and squawks from that gaming system as it blips out the usually orchestrated Universal Studios theme music, Scott Pilgrim vs. The World announces its thunderously playful attitude as a sugary ...

Lon Chaney as Quasimodo. Need I say anymore? I don’t really think so, but I’ll flex. The Hunchback of Notre Dame is a certified REEL CLASSIC of silent, cinematic horror and it begins right there with Chaney’s performance as the deaf, half-blind, hunchbacked bell-ringer of the famous Cathedral of ...

“Dead or alive, you are coming with me.” When I first heard those words coming out from the lips of RoboCop (Peter Weller), I was hooked. Instantly. There was no looking back for this fat kid: RoboCop, making its debut in 1987, would be my summertime jam. The film might have been a surprise hit ...

The first impression I get from writer/director Christos Nikou’s Apples is that it bears a strong resemblance to that of the films by fellow Greek director Yorgos Lanthimos. Blending deadpan, black comedy with a degree of tragedy, Nikou, like Lanthimos, is keen on showing the awkward ...

It’s Spencer Tracey and Katherine Hepburn. Are you sold on it yet? No? Alright, let’s talk: When you think about Tracey-Hepburn films, Frank Capra’s 1948 State of the Union is certainly not as revered or remembered in the way that Woman of the Year, Adam’s Rib, or even Guess Who’s ...
