VISUAL VENGEANCE BLU-RAY RELEASE: Scream Dream (1989)
How did I get this far into SOV movies without more Donald Farmer? The band Rikk-O-Shay is trying to get big in the heavy metal business, and you know what would help? If their lead singer Michelle Shock (Carol Carr) wasn’t woshipping Satan and biting off their male groupies’ cocks to drain them of their […]
UNEARTHED FILMS 4K UHD AND BLU-RAY RELEASE: Evilenko (2003)
Directed by David Grieco, this chilling film explores the life of Andrei Chikatilo, the infamous Monster of Rostov. Based on Grieco’s novel The Communist Who Ate Children, this film is set against the backdrop of a decaying Soviet state. It follows Andrei Romanovich Evilenko (Malcolm McDowell), a history and literature professor whose professional life in […]
ARROW 4K UHD AND BLU-RAY RELEASE: Red Sun (1971)
Look, I know this is directed by the British Terence Young and has a multinational cast, but this movie is so great I’m inclined to overlook such things. It stars one of the Magnificent Seven, Charles Bronson, and one of the Seven Samurai, Toshiro Mifune. At the time, Bronson was a huge deal everywhere but […]
ARROW VIDEO 4K UHD AND BLU-RAY RELEASE: Fallen Down (1993)
Falling Down is a searing, sweat-soaked descent into the heart of a broken American Dream. It is a film that refuses to offer easy answers, instead holding up a mirror to the suffocating weight of societal expectations, economic displacement and the slow erosion of a man’s identity. I can’t even imagine the controversy were it […]
ARROW VIDEO 4K UHD AND BLU-RAY RELEASE: Soylent Green (1973)
As we were rewatching this film last week, my wife said, “It always seems so hot in this movie; everyone is sweating all the time.” And I replied, “Yeah. We’re kind of living in it now.” Yep, other than turning people into food and my stairwells being filled with sleeping people, the world of Soylent […]
TROMATIC SPECIAL EDITION BLU-RAY: Sugar Cookies (1973)
The 1970s New York film scene was a magical, grimy sandbox. If you ever needed proof that the line between high art, avant-garde theater, and pure exploitation was completely non-existent back then, look no further than Theodore Gershuny’s Sugar Cookies (also known by the arguably sleazier title, Love Me My Way). Just look at the […]
VISUAL VENGEANCE BLU-RAY RELEASE: Laurin (1989)
Lately, I’ve noticed that several of my favorite films fit into a very specific genre with no prescribed name. If it had one, it would probably be something like, “coming of age while the supernatural lurks around the corner.” The best examples of this very unique genre include the Czechoslovakian surrealist film Valerie and Her […]
VISUAL VENGEANCE BLU-RAY RELEASE: The Nine Demons (1984)
Look, when a movie has two martial artists named Joey (Tien-Chi Cheng) and Gary (Lu Feng), well, that’s all I need. Except that this movie is really as wild as it can get, a low-budget film from Chang Cheh who decides that if he can’t get enough money to make a movie, he’s going to […]
MVD REWIND COLLECTION: Mel Brooks’ Spaceballs: The Totally Warped Animated Adventures (2008)
While many fans hold the original 1987 film in high regard as a seminal piece of science fiction parody, Spaceballs: The Animated Series—often simply referred to as Spaceballs: The Series—is a fascinating, ambitious, and ultimately singular footnote in the Mel Brooks canon. Premiering in 2008 on G4 in the United States and Super Channel in […]
PARAMOUNT DVD RELEASE: NCIS: Tony & Ziva (2025)
After years of fans wondering what truly happened to the legendary Tiva pairing, the NCIS universe finally delivers the answer in this high-stakes, international expansion of the beloved franchise. Picking up long after Ziva David’s (Cote de Pablo) supposed death, the narrative follows Anthony “Tony” DiNozzo (Michael Weatherly) as he navigates life as a single […]
