ARROW VIDEO BOX SET RELEASE: V-Cinema Essentials: Bullets & Betrayal
In 1989, Toei launched their V-Cinema line of direct-to-video genre features, inspired by the money that Akira made when it became an OAV. Now, Arrow Video has released V-Cinema Essentials: Bullets & Betrayal, which has nine of those films, “representing some of the best the Japanese crime film has to offer.” Crime Hunter: Bullets of […]

WEIRD WEDNESDAY: All the Sins of Sodom (1968)
The title of this movie is awesome, but then I found out that it’s also called All The Evils Of Satan, and I don’t know if I could be more enthusiastic about a film. New York City shutterbug Henning (Dan Machuen) is supposed to shoot some nudes for his agent Paula (Peggy Sarno), but is […]
WEIRD WEDNESDAY: All the Colors of the Dark (1972)
The first five and a half minutes of 1972’s All the Colors of the Dark (also known as Day of the Maniac and They’re Coming to Get You!) subvert what I call Giallo’s “graphic beauty” in intriguing ways. An outdoor scene of a stream slowly darkens, replaced by an old crone with blackened teeth, dressed as a child and a […]
WEIRD WEDNESDAY: Alley Cat (1984)
Alley Cat has three directors. I have no idea why, but Victor M. Ordonez (who is in Nine Deaths of the Ninja and Hellhole), Ed Palmos and Al Valetta (who is in Sole Survivor, Runaway Nightmare and Hollywood’s New Blood) all had their hand in this movie, leaving Robert Waters, who also wrote Fighting Mad, to write the actual story.
