Chattanooga Film Festival 2026: The Mothman Prophecies (2002)
I’ve been thinking about that song “Hobo Humpin’ Slobo Babe” by Whale a lot. The song is pretty crazy, best described as a dancy punky ditty about, well, who the fuck knows what it’s about. The video is even stranger, highlighted by lead singer Cia Berg cavorting about with red frizzy hair and braces. The […]
VISUAL VENGEANCE BLU RAY RELEASE: Fungicide (2002)
David Wascavage is probably best known for Suburban Sasquatch, but before that movie, he made this berserk film that is all about a scientist named Silas Purcell (David Weldon) whose parents (played by Loretta and Edward Wascavage, the director’s mom and dad) send him to a bed and breakfast to try and calm down. He brings […]
VISUAL VENGEANCE BLU RAY RELEASE: Date With a Vampire/Blood Craving (2001, 2002)
Date With a Vampire (2001): If you spent any time wandering the aisles of a mom-and-pop video store, you know the vibe of SOV (shot-on-video) movies, produced during a time when digital cameras were making everyone with a tripod think they were the next Jean Rollina, and many of them are! Date with a Vampire […]
The Creation Adventure Team: Six Short Days, One Big Adventure (2002)
“Kids (and adults!) love this humor filled, information packed DVD. Watch as Buddy Davis and the high energy Creation Adventure Team reveal the wonders of the six days of creation with the help of Proto the animatronic robot, and Ivan Idea’s hilarious “Bubble Gum Cam”. Kids will understand that the universe is the work of […]
FANTASTIC FEST 2025: Dildo Heaven (2002)
Allow me to play this broken record again, but it’s astounding just how much the moviemaking of Doris Wishman, Bruno Mattei and Jess Franco line up. At the end of all of their careers, there they are, making movies way past their contemporaries, even if it’s shot on video now. As Bruno would make Zombies: The […]
Sizzlin’ Summer of Side-Splitters 2025: Reflections of Evil (2002)
July 14-20 Vanity Project Week: “…it might be said that the specific remedy for vanity is laughter, and that the one failing that is essentially laughter is vanity.” Are these products of passionate and industrious independent filmmakers OR outrageous glimpses into the inner workings of self-obsessed maniacs?? Born in Akron, Ohio, Damon Packard is the […]
JUNESPLOITATION: Pandora Peaks (2005)
June 20: Junesploitation’s topic of the day — as suggested by F This Movie— is Exploitation Auteurs! At one point during this movie, I put my head in my hands and took the Lord’s name in vain because, well, I was actually thanking God for the fact that I lived in the same reality that […]
MILL CREEK BLU RAY RELEASE: The King of Queens (1998-2007)
Premiering on CBS on September 21, 1998, The King of Queens was one of those shows that always seemed to be on. I had never watched it, and all I knew about Kevin James was that he was Mick Foley’s high school wrestling teammate. But when I showed the box set on our weekly “What Came […]
ARROW VIDEO 4K UHD RELEASE: Narc (2002)
Detroit narcotics cop Nick Tellis (Jason Patric) is recovering from an undercover operation gone wrong. In the hopes of getting a desk job, he agrees to return to active duty as the partner of Detective Henry Oak (Ray Liotta) as Oak looks into the death of his partner, Michael Calvess. The film goes into what […]
2024 Scarecrow Psychotronic Challenge Day 8: Swimfan (2002)
8. POOL PARTY: Is there a swimming pool in your plot? Take a dip, mind the drip. Look, I never went on a date in high school and missed the prom, so who am I to give advice to the kids, but as I watched this movie, people still under the age of twenty are […]
