Girls und Panzer das Finale Part 3 [Blu-ray Review]

Barreling onto blu-ray this September from Sentai Filmworks is Part 3 of the big Girls und Panzer Finale (of a planned six films), and if this is the planned conclusion of the series, then it looks like they’re planning to go out in style! For those who haven’t been following the previous two entries of…


Girls und Panzer der Film [Blu-ray Review]

Sentai Filmworks brings Girls und Panzer der Film back into print on blu-ray after the original release of this film back in 2017, this time as just a blu-ray rather than the original blu-ray + DVD combo pack, with those scrappy girls of Ooarai Academy and their ridiculous physics-defying tanks returning for the big screen…


Point Salad [Tabletop Review]

Alderac Entertainment Group (AEG) brings to the table a fun, little card-drafting game that’s quick and easy to learn but with a depth of strategy that provides lots of replay value. First let’s break down the basic stats on it. Number of players: 2 – 6 (The game provides instructions to adjust the number of…


Blu-ray Review – Horrible Sexy Vampire – Mondo Macabro

The Horrible Sexy Vampire (or the Highway Vampire as it’s Spanish title translates to) is a bizarre little Spanish horror entry from 1971 that I’ll own up to having never seen before this Blu-ray ended up in my player last weekend. The film opens up with a couple, tired from a road trip stopping for…


UHD Review – Army of Darkness – Scream Factory

Ashley J. Williams aka Ash (Bruce Williams) is a department store house wares clerk at S-Mart. He went on a vacation with his girlfriend/group of friends to a cabin in the woods, where an archaeologist had been translating an ancient occult text the “Necronomicon”. After Ash reads aloud from the book demonic deadites begin possessing…


Blu-ray Review – Satan’s Little Helper (Synapse)

Jeff Lieberman hasn’t directed a ton of films, but the films he has directed have struck deep into the minds of cult film fans. Squirm, Just Before Dawn, Blue Sunshine, and Remote Control are easy to recall just from name alone. After the early 80’s Lieberman directed some well-regarded documentaries before jumping back in with…


Gunbuster: The Movie Blu-ray Review

On September 13, 2022, Sentai Filmworks re-issued the blu-ray of Gunbuster: the Movie having previously been released back in 2016 under Sector 23’s Maiden Japan banner. While this looks to be the same disc as the previous release but with updated cover art, I still tip my hat to Sentai Filmworks in keeping a seminal…


Seitokai Yakuindomo The Movie 2 Blu-ray Review

Released on September 20, 2022 courtesy of Sentai Filmworks, we have this delightfully obscene film continuance of the riotously raunchy anime series based on a 4-koma manga (a 4-panel gag comic not unlike ones you would see in our newspapers in the US) like Nichijou or Azumanga Diaoh. Seitokau Yakuindomo is very much like those…


Blu-ray Review – The Birds II: Land’s End – Vinegar Syndrome

Those mean old birds from Alfred Hitchcock’s famous movie about killer birds called Rope (1948) are back and boy howdy, they are mad. They’re frickin’ sick of humankind’s bullcrap what with our all of our polluting the Earth and blaring our loud music. I can’t confirm this but my cursory research indicates that birds especially…


Blu-ray Review – Massacre at Central High – Synapse Films

All is not well at Central High. The bullies run the school and every single kid there is too scared to do anything about it. Mark (Andrew Stevens) is one of the bullies and he foolishly thinks that his old friend David (Derrel Maury) should come to the school and join the gang. David is…
