MVD DVD RELEASE: What She Said: The Art of Pauline Kael (2018)
From 1968-1991, Pauline Kael reviewed movies for the New Yorker and made film criticism into an art form. As a result of her writing, people began to think more about the movies they saw, transforming entertainment into something that could become even more. She had her enemies and her fans, even today. Like Quentin Tarantino, who said, […]

Wishmaster 2: Evil Never Dies (1999)
Director and writer Jack Sholder, who past on making the first movie, said of this sequel, “That’s one that I have very mixed feelings about because there are parts of it that I really like, but I think, all in all, it’s a little dumb. To tell you the truth, I haven’t seen it since […]
Wishmaster (1997)
It’s weird because I always wrote off this movie and here I am, in the middle of a lazy Saturday, enjoying this entire series. Did I not know that Robert Kurtzman directed this as seemingly a reel of everything that KNB could do when it came to practical effects? Did I miss out on the […]
Darkman III: Die Darkman Die (1996)
Shot at the same time as the second Darkman movie, Darkman III: Die Darkman Die is directed again by Bradford May and written by Michael Colleary and Mike Webb, who also wrote Face/Off. I wonder if all the synthetic skin masks that Dr. Peyton Westlake (Arnold Vosloo) wears as Darkman inspired that movie? This movie also has a Cannon-style reason […]

Darkman II: The Return of Durant (1995)
Ah, the 90s. A time when Blockbuster Video had enough power that it could ask Universal for a sequel to Darkman, which did well at theaters. But not well enough for a theatrical sequel. Renaissance Pictures was trying to sell Fox on a series, bringing back Larry Drake as bad guy Robert G. Durant. They passed […]
The Hitcher II: I’ve Been Waiting (2003)
There is no reason for this movie to exist. I know, most sequels can claim the same thing, but this enters in Die Hard 2 territory. Except we want to see Bruce Willis get into these situations. Do we really want to see C. Thomas Howell endure the same pain 15 years later? Jim Halsey […]
