…which brings us to the death of the original Godzilla. After 22 films and countless battles, Toho paves the way for the American version of Godzilla and kills off the one and only King of the Monsters. Directed by Takao Okawara, with special effects by Koichi Kawakita, ...
Mothra and the two singing fairies return in the 27th Godzilla film, Godzilla: Tokyo S.O.S. much to the satisfaction of die-hard fans. The errors of director Masaaki Tezuka and Masahiro Yokotani’s script are forgivable in light of the massive action scenes on display ...
At long last, writer/director Jimmy Huston’s Final Exam arrives to once again fill dorm rooms with its own particular brand of horror. It is the appropriate time of the year to release this cult classic, considering the amount of studying and school pranks occurring as students and teachers ...
The passing of time favors 1981’s Evilspeak, a film a little too late to ride the whole Satanic scene of the late 1970’s but way in front of the curve as far as computers are concerned. Starring Clint Howard as a military cadet so bullied that he turns to Satanic forces via a ...
When you think of a romantic comedy your brain doesn’t immediately turn toward science fiction. Or does it? After all, isn’t the dizzying aspect of falling into love comparable to a loss of gravity? Certainly, with the right person, it can be. Her offers a new approach to the idea of romance ...
Endless wonder. That’s what Warehouse 13 promised when it debuted on Syfy in 2009. To its credit, endless wonder is exactly what the show delivered. The five seasons that make up this set are a fan’s wet dream realized…almost. Universal Home Media has yet to give this ...
Infamy has always followed the early 70s pornographic film Deep Throat. It is arguably the most famous and certainly most successful financially (earning over 600 million dollars) of pornos, even 40 years later. Its star was equally infamous, not just for her involvement in the ...
It is an ever growing cynical world we live in today, and even the best of us, with the pace of life, sometime forget to look at those around us. In those forgotten there are the meek, the quiet, the wallflower who nobody remembers, despite their quiet contributions. In ...
I have a great and genuine appreciation for director Steven Spielberg’s 22nd film, The Terminal. From the set design to the love of America’s jazz, the delicate film is – for me – a touching and beautiful tribute to a nation waking up from a massive tragedy. This is probably ...
Watching a rubber-suited Godzilla fling rocks at a rubber-suited giant lobster might not by your cup of tea but it works for someone raised on a steady diet of these Toho flicks from the swinging 1960’s. This unfortunately titled film, released originally as Godzilla, Ebirah ...
Godzilla flies! Godzilla vs. Hedorah is one of the most creative of all of the Godzilla flicks. It’s also one of the least successful due to its dark themes, dark tale, and even darker shoot. Opening with a disturbing shot of a female mannequin face up in some toxic sludge ...
Are you Team Godzilla or Team Gigan? Because, in the fight against giant mutated cockroaches, it matters. Yes, alien cockroaches are behind the plans to do away with Godzilla and his pal, Anguirus, who swim across the ocean to save mankind from having their home ...
Grateful Dead. Janis Joplin. The Band. Buddy Guy. What do they all have in common? Well, other than being fantastic rock bands, artists, and live performers, they once upon a time in 1970 shared the same train as it traveled through Canada and played a series of ...
Directed and produced by Howard Hawks, Red River is proof that, if pushed by the demands of a well-written script, John Wayne could actually act. I am not a Wayne fan by any means but my father raised me on a steady diet of Sunday westerns and I’ve seen more than ...
The pervading metaphor of “Manifest Destiny” as American soldiers turn to cannibalism in the 1840s is what sells director Antonia Bird’s horror film and makes it worth revisiting. Ravenous was released in 1999 and, sunk by mediocre to poor reviews, most ignored the film ...
Seven months after the 2nd Mass arrives in Charleston, the gang realizes – what with new characters, new aliens, new technology, and new presidents – that all is not what it seems. Perhaps the viewer will too. So much has happened in the gulf between Season Two ...
The story of the 47 Ronin is by all accounts the most famous story of samurai in the history of Japan. Many plays, books, films have apparently been dedicated to the true story of 47 samurai who would accept certain death themselves to avenge the unjust death that befell ...
In 1922 a naughty fledgling German production company stole the story of Dracula by Bram Stoker and made one of cinema’s most revered horror movies: Nosferatu. Prana Film went bankrupt with their first and last production after Stoker’s widow successfully sued ...
The fans complaining that AMC’s Duck Dynasty has changed or stayed from its roots are disappointed because they are only just now realizing that this “reality” program is in fact a sitcom – which means it is fake as hell. It is formulaic, scripted, and plotted. It is also still very funny and worth a look for its fans ...
They’re humans turned inside out and still alive! Famed B-movie producer strikes again. This time he brings slippery Italian Fishmen to the silver screen in the heavily re-worked (or butchered as some would suggest) Screamers. Of course, in keeping with Corman’s ...
A fun-filled weekend for some park rangers and their girlfriends turns deadly when they find themselves on the wrong side of a killer’s blade in The Final Terror. Long out of print and available only in the dingiest of VHS rental dives after a super quick theatrical release, this ...
What has been seen can never be unseen. It is a saying as old as the wise man who told it to me and Cannibal Holocaust – with its graphic rape, cannibalism, torture, and on-screen REAL killing of animals – is proof of that. . The scenes depicted in director Ruggero ...
Helix, when you get to the midway point of Season One, will otherwise be known as a squandered possibility. Don't believe me? Well, watch for yourself. Co-produced by Ronald D. Moore (of the re-outfitted Battlestar Galactica fame), Helix: Season One, a Syfy Channel ...
The documentary Kids’ Rights: The Business of Adoption jumps all over the place, in terms of its topics and locations. Filmmakers Olga Rudnieva and Michael Dudko, who want to adopt, travel to various countries to learn more about the process. They meet with lawyers ...
Mad genius. Visionary. Prophet. Egomaniac. Whatever word you use to describe cult film director Alejandro Jodorowsky would probably be correct. This Chilean-French filmmaker is also a playwright, an actor, an author, a musician, a comic book writer, and a spiritual guru ...
It is a movie we didn’t know how to talk about. Released in 1999 and written on-spec by David E. Kelley, Lake Placid and its R-rated mixture of horror and comedy scared audiences away. Why? Because it was effective at its ambitions of being solely a trash-talking B-movie ...
Jason Bateman is on quite a roll. After having his career resuscitated by starring (and starring again) in Arrested Development, he seems to earn only goodwill from all his projects – even the ones that bomb. Bad Words, his directorial debut, is yet another win. Effectively ...
Hailing from the early part of the dreaded 1980’s, it is safe to say that Deadly Eyes is not the most technically brilliant film ever made about marauding rats terrorizing humans and trains alike in subway tunnels. It is a Canadian low budget film made in the era of practical ...
Grateful Dead. Janis Joplin. The Band. Buddy Guy. What do they all have in common? Well, other than being fantastic rock bands, artists, and live performers, they once upon a time in 1970 shared the same train as it traveled through Canada and played a series of ...
At the center of Saving Mr. Banks, the fascinating back-story of how Disney’s beloved classic Mary Poppins made its way to the big screen, is the relationship between the book’s prickly author, P.L. Travers and Walt Disney himself. A relationship that could be described ...
