Cloak and Dagger (1984)
Originally released as a double feature with The Last Starfighter, I first saw this movie as a VHS rental. It was directed by Australian Richard Franklin, who also made Fantasm, Patrick, Roadgames and Psycho 2. The writer of the last film was Tom Holland (Fright Night), who wrote this film as well. This is a remake of The Window, […]

The Incoherents (2020)
“The alternative/independent rock scene that exploded in the late ’80s/early ’90s was a period we hold dear to our hearts. The music created during that stretch still has great influence today, as the descendants of Nirvana, The Pixies, Sonic Youth, The Replacements, Radiohead and their compatriots are everywhere on rock radio.” I’ve couldn’t have said […]
