PARAMOUNT BLU-RAY RELEASE: Special Ops: Lioness Season 1 (2023)
Taylor Sheridan’s Special Ops: Lioness centers on the CIA’s “Lioness” program, a black-ops initiative that is as morally bankrupt as it is effective. The drill is simple: recruit female operatives to get close to the female relatives of high-value terrorist targets, maneuver into their inner circles and take out the bad guys before they can […]
APRIL MOVIE THON DAY 29: Diabolik Chi Sei? (2023)
April 29: Europsy — Watch a Xerox of Bond, James Bond. In the 1960s, Mario Bava gave us the candy-colored, pop-art explosion that was Danger: Diabolik. Now, in the 2020s, the Manetti Bros. (Antonio and Marco) have made three movies about the King of Terror that have him more like the comic book version — cold […]
TUBI ORIGINAL: TMZ No BS: Bad Bunny (2023)
It’s a fascinating cycle, isn’t it? The same platform that hosts 70s Giallo and obscure SOV horror is also the home for TMZ’s No BS deep dives. There’s something strangely poetic about watching a documentary regarding the world’s biggest pop star on the same service where you might find a movie about a killer refrigerator. […]
TUBI ORIGINAL: TMZ No BS: DMX (2023)
DMX broke through in the late ’90s with hits like Ruff Ryders’ Anthem, and It’s Dark & Hell Is Hot and had one of the most recognizable voices in hip hop. In this TMZ on Tubi doc, Harvey Levin, Charles Latibeaudiere and Towanda Robinson discuss the impact of his music and persona on pop culture and how his […]
TUBI ORIGINAL: TMZ: No BS: Arianna Grande (2023)
I love that TMZ is getting paid by Tubi just for having its crew sit on a couch and talk about celebrities. This time, it’s Arianna Grande, who took her four-octave vocal range from Broadway to two Nickedolian series before becoming a huge music star with songs like “Thank U, Next” and “Bang Bang.” Today, […]
VISUAL VENGEANCE ON TUBI: Loose Cannon (2023)
Brent and Blake Cousins are back. Directed and written by Brett and starring Blake, this takes the guys years forward from Slaughter Day to make a new SOV-inspired film in which a cop uncovers a conspiracy to off the leader of the U.S.A. Well, it was shot in the 90s and finished a few years ago […]
Eileen (2023)
Eileen Dunlop (Thomasin McKenzie) is a secretary at a home for bad boys, but is mistreated by her fellow workers. At home, it isn’t much better because her father, Jim (Shea Whigham), is a retired cop who beats her every night. At least she can fantasize over Randy (Owen Teague), a guard at the center. […]
ARROW 4K UHD RELEASE: Evil Dead Rise (2023)
It took me literally five watches to get through Evil Dead Rise. In my past hater days, I would have just said something like, “Well, I already saw Demons 2,” but that’s not very productive. Films deserve to be seen, and my mindset did not jibe with what I was watching. Maybe I’ve finally reached a point […]
PARAMOUNT 4K UHD RELEASE: Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One (2023)
Directed by Christopher McQuarrie, who wrote it with Erik Jendresen, this is the sequel to Mission: Impossible – Fallout and the seventh installment in the Mission: Impossible film series. I have no real affinity or knowledge of these, so I went in cold. A rogue AI known as The Entity has destroyed the Russian stealth […]
How to Kill Monsters (2023)
Directed by Stewart Spark, who wrote the script with Paul Butler, this begins with the end of a movie: Jamie Lancaster (Lyndsey Craine) is the sole survivor of a monster attack in a cabin in the woods. Claiming that her friends were killed by these creatures, she is arrested by the local cops and locked […]
