MST3K Vs Gamera (Shout! Factory) DVD Review
About 2 years ago when I started the site I did an interview with Kevin Murphy for one of the first MST3K releases reviewed for ECAV. I wouldn’t suggest looking for it, it never got posted, as the audio was too terrible to post in .mp3 format, and I could barely hear it myself…
Mad Max (Scream Factory) Blu-ray Review
It is interesting watching Mad Max with people who are not totally familiar with the film these days. The last few times I’ve watched the original film, it has been in the presence with someone who knew the series from the more popular sequels in the latter case this was my own fault, as the…
Machine Gun McCain (Blue Underground) Blu-ray review
John Cassavetes was the man! Whether Cassavetes is behind the camera (as director), or in front acting usually the end result is fantastic. He is one of those actors that can be put into a bad movie, and elevate it to a higher standard, as long as he in on screen. I don’t mean this…
Macbeth (Olive) Blu-ray Review
Keanrick: We were exorcising evil spirits. Being but a mere butler, you will not know the great theatre tradition that one does *never* speak the name of the “Scottish Play”. Blackadder: What, *Macbeth*? Mossop, Keanrick: Aahhhhh. Hot potato, orchestra stalls, Puck will make amends. Macbeth is probably my very favorite of Shakespeare’s plays from the…
Manos: The Hands of Fate (Synapse) Blu-ray Review
If you’ve read my reviews on EuroCultAV.com you might know I don’t really get into declaring extremes. Therefore you will rarely see at least myself declare a best of, worst of, or anything of that nature. Manos: The Hands of Fate was a film made by Harold P. Warren an El Paso fertilizer salesman in…
Andre Gregory & Wallace Shawn 3 Films (My Dinner With Andre, Vanya on 42nd Street, A Master Builder) (Criterion Collection) Blu-ray Review
I came to the work of Andre Gregory and Wallace Shawn well over a decade ago, when one of my short films was positively compared to the duo’s original collaboration My Dinner with Andre. I had seen bits of the film before, but had never sat through the entirety of it. I immediately picked up…
Augst (Cult Epics) Blu-ray Review
Angst follows a psychopathic killer played by Erwin Leder. The film opens with his release from prison, where he makes it immediately apparent that prison was the precise correct place for him to be, as right away upon his release he begins narrating his back story about the psychological trauma that led him down his…
An Angel for Satan & The Long Hair of Death (Midnight Choir) DVD Review
It seems that Midnight Choir is out to impress horror fans with their debut releases. This Barbara Steele double feature contains two of her more obscure Italian films An Angel for Satan and the Long Hair of Death. Prior to this release I had only heard of, but had not seen Long Hair of Death,…
As Good As It Gets (Twilight Time) Blu-ray Review
As Good As It Gets is a film much like it’s 1997 pop drama brethren Good Will Hunting, and Titanic is a film I actively avoided seeing back in my Freshman year of high school. Although it does feature older characters it was a smash hit even amongst the teenagers in my grade, and above,…
