Bertrand Blier’s Going Places (aka Les Valseuses) is a 1974 French comedy drama that is about two guys and lots of girls. French screen legends Miou-Miou, Gérard Depardieu and Patrick Dewaere star in this movie, which is infamous for its look at sexuality, sex acts and loads of nudity! The” plot” has to do with…
The Witch Part 2. The Other One Blu-ray review
Even though I love horror movies, I had never heard of The Witch: Part 2. The Other One until I read about it in a forum, which caught my attention. Written and directed by Park Hoon-jung, this South Korean film from 2022 incorporates science fiction, action, and horror and is a sequel to the 2018…
Legend of Dinosaurs and Monster Birds Blu-ray review
I have always been a fan of giant monster movies, whether they are classics or cheesy, especially the ones made in Japan. During the 1970’s budgets for Kaiju films had plummeted to the point where the movies were made as cheaply as possible. In 1977, Toei distributed Legend of Dinosaurs and Monster Birds, known as…
Blu-ray Review – House of Psychotic Women – Rarities Collection – Severin
When Kier-La Janisse’s book House of Psychotic Women came out in 2012, I had declared it one of the finest books on film I had read in many years. It has left a lingering effect even after a decade, and I will say is probably one of the greatest books on film to be released…
Blu-ray Review – Daddy Longlegs – Criterion
Review—Daddy Longlegs (Criterion, blu-ray) Author: Palo Sionoplia The breakthrough success of Uncut Gems has created a surge of interest in the Safdie brothers’ back catalog—and rightly so. As the duo began releasing feature films in 2008—while still in their early twenties—there are five films in the Safdie filmography that predate the Adam Sandler vehicle that…
UHD Review – Drive
In 1997, DRIVE was released direct to video in the US, and in my opinion is one of the best martial arts movies of that decade. Director Steve Wang gave us one of the funnest, and most hard hitting action films of the decade. DRIVE follows Toby, played by Mark Dacascos, a special agent from…
Blu-ray Review – Buried Alive (Vinegar Syndrome)
In 1989/1990, producer Harry Alan Towers produced three Edgar Alan Poe adaptations for Menahem Golan’s 21st Century Film Corporation: Edgar Allan Poe’s The House of Usher, Edgar Allan Poe’s Masque of the Red Death, and the film we are reviewing today, Edgar Allan Poe’s Buried Alive. The film stars Playboy Playmate Karen Witter as Janet,…
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…
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…
