Mazinger Z: Infinity is about as solid a film about giant mechas fighting giant kaiju as is humanly possible.

I have a confession to make. If Danielle Harris is in a horror movie, I’ll watch it.

Chris Claremont came to Marvel as a young man, and was assigned a book that no one else wanted, a book on the brink of cancellation: X-Men.

It’s going to take some work to make this series more than just gorgeous settings, brutal murders, and scantily clad boy prostitutes.

Blade Runner 2049 Blu-ray Review

January 15, 2018 0 47

There is literally no element of this film that isn’t brilliant, even at its 2 hours and 44-minute runtime.

IT looks great and has a fantastic, multi-talented cast. The script has some problems, though.

Visually, the film is spectacular and brings to the screen some of the most beautiful images in the history of the series.

All Binge... No Purge

Under Lightfoot’s guidance, The Punisher just might be the best live-action anything that Marvel has produced.

Marvel at the Movies: The Punishers

Before we see how Bernthal's take on the character plays out, we thought we'd take a look at the long and varied history of The Punisher in the comics and on film.

Advance Review: The Theta Girl (2017)

The Theta Girl explodes onto the screen like the lovechild of Ted V. Mikels and Jodorowsky.

Westworld: Season One Blu-ray

November 6, 2017 2 23

Not only is Westworld a must-see, it’s a must-own collection that will reward multiple viewings in ways that few other shows would even attempt.

All the Devils are Here (2017)

November 5, 2017 0 23

All the Devils are Here is an extremely entertaining throw-back to 80s low-budget horror!

Zombie Spring Breakers (2016)

Paul Brian McCoy

November 1, 2017 0 49

Zombie Spring Breakers is the least creative, most pointless zombie comedy I have ever seen.

Stranger Things Season 2

Paul Brian McCoy

October 31, 2017 2 18

But seriously. This is one of the strongest ensemble casts on television today.

A Haunting in Salem (2011)

Paul Brian McCoy

October 26, 2017 0 16

A Haunting in Salem is a well put-together little ghost film and nothing like the schlocky, goofball experience I was expecting.

I Am Alone (2015)

Paul Brian McCoy

October 18, 2017 0 40

While the rest of the film plays out along a more traditional narrative line, Fitts’ struggle is key to what makes I am Alone stand out.

Red Christmas (2016)

Paul Brian McCoy

October 17, 2017 1 12

Red Christmas has no qualms about making a bloody, gory, transgressive instant holiday horror classic.

Talon Falls (2017)

Paul Brian McCoy

October 13, 2017 0 207

That it kind of forces the story to follow a predictable path is a minus, but with enough innovation and imagination, Talon Falls could have been something very culty classicy.

Bad Blood (2017)

Paul Brian McCoy

October 12, 2017 0 18

On the scale of Australian horror, from Dead Calm to Wyrmwood, this film falls squarely in the Dead Calm camp.
