Palm Springs (2020)
All of the time loop films of the last year or two — Happy Death Day 2U, Boss Level, The Map of Tiny Perfect Things, Koko-di Koko-da, Game Over, The Obituary of Tunde Johnson, Russian Doll, See You Yesterday — all follow that Groundhog Day-style approach of the same day happening over and over again. Of course, we can also point to 1990s 12:01 PM, […]
Iris (2020)
Writer, director, and cinematographer Christopher Steinberger made his debut film, the short Pendulum, in 2012. Completing seven more shorts since then, he’s now arrived on Amazon Prime with the action crime-drama, Iris, his feature film debut.

THE EXCELLENT EIGHTIES: When the Bough Breaks (1986)

Which is more than this film deserves. It didn’t even […]
The Excellent Eighties: My Mom’s A Werewolf (1989)
Wow, Mill Creek loves this debut film directed by Michael Fischa — or is it because it’s a Susan Blakely flick — as it has appeared on their Pure Terror, B-Movie Blast, and Excellent Eighties 50-Film Packs. And the debate in the B&S cubicle farm rages: who loves this movie more? Melody Vera with her […]
THE EXCELLENT EIGHTIES: Lamb (1985)
I mean, who wants to watch Liam Neeson fight wolves or show off his very special set of skills when we can watch him as a conflicted priest trying to save the life of a small boy with epilepsy? Based on the novel by Bernard MacLaverty, Neeson plays Brother Sebastian, who is part of a […]
