2022 Scarecrow Psychotronic Challenge Day 11: DOA: Dead or Alive (2006)
11. ⬆⬆⬇⬇⬅➡⬅➡🅱🅰: Select and start a movie based on a video game. Look, I want to say something like, “Dead or Alive series depicts a collection of skilled martial artists in a worldwide competition that’s sponsored by the DOATEC (Dead or Alive Tournament Executive Committee), a massive corporation with unknown motives,” but really the video […]
VISUAL VENGEANCE BLU RAY RELEASE: Lycan Colony (2006)
SPOILER WARNING: You can probably consider this review a bit unobjective seeing as how I love this movie so much and contributed to the commentary and liner notes for the blu ray release. You should totally buy it from MVD because it comes with a limited edition slipcase New Hampshire Forest Scent air freshener, commentary […]
MILL CREEK STEELBOX RELEASE: Miami Vice (2006)
Michael Mann was an executive producer on the original Miami Vice, so it makes sense that he returned to direct, write and co=produce this reimagined movie.

APRIL MOVIE THON 2: El luchador implacable (2006)
April 6: Viva Mexico — Pick a movie from Mexico and escribir acerca de por qué es tan increíble. Lucha libre movies were a big deal from the 1950s to 1980s, but kind of went away, ironically at the same time that lucha had a major boom by finally being on TV. Yes, unlike America, wrestling often […]
Arrow Video The Lukas Moodysson Collection: Container (2006)
Lukas Moodysson said that this was “a black and white silent movie with sound” and used this sentence to set it up: “A woman in a man’s body. A man in a woman’s body. Jesus in Mary’s stomach. The water breaks. It floods into me. I can’t close the lid. My heart is full.” As […]
Pathogen (2006)
Emily Hagin started making this movie when she was only 12 years old. It took two years to make and she had to endure plenty of hardship, including the theft of some of the film’s equipment, which was replaced thanks to a grant from the Texas Filmmakers Production Fund that paid for post-production. A grocery […]
