Re: Attack the Block
I'm really conflicted with this one -- I just had a hard time connecting with the characters we're supposed to sympathize with after the opening sequence shows them to be nothing more than brat-ass little thugs who deserve to be ripped to shreds. And I could've done without the extra shots of their ...

Re: Bellflower
This played down at Asheville, NC's ActionFest this past year, but it was one of the films we unfortunately didn't make it to. (It's difficult to see everything you want during festivals!) However, they did have the actual car there, during runs around the theater parking lot! I'm looking forward to...

I always try to go into films with an open mind, and I'm not especially annoyed by the idea of remakes (I actually think the trailer to the new DAWN OF THE DEAD looks pretty good). However, I do get a bit bored by lack of talent, vision and integrity. THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE (2003) is one of the...

Both of Blue Underground's November Jess Franco titles look gorgeous and if you're a fan you won't be let down. As for extras, there's a very-informative featurette, trailer, stills gallery and liner notes - what else exactly do you need? My reviews of Blue Underground's September titles (THE PROWLE...

Yes, this messageboard was the one I referred to in my review. After Roger posted here I got in contact with him about doing a piece in my never published ‘zine Pages of Filth. I then passed his contact info over to friend Art Ettinger, who conducted the interview and wrote up a bunch of reviews of ...

Some spoilers, so hide your eyes... I caught it last night, and found it to be very enjoyable - though I agree with Remo about the needless climatic turn. Still, creating an alien invasion flick that NEVER SHOWS THE ALIEN INVASION is a nice gesture, and I'm glad to see genre standards and convention...

Blue Underground's DVDs - First Impression
At first glance, Blue Underground's initial releases appear to be very worthwhile investments. Pulled right from the negative, THE TOOLBOX MURDERS is one of the best DVD transfers I've ever seen, ranking alongside ZOMBIE LAKE and Fulci's THE BLACK CAT. The original negative of SHOCKWAVES was lost so...

Pages of Filth basically went belly-up because I don't know the first thing about computers - which left me in need of someone else to work on the layout. Unfortunately, everyone who vounteered for the job later backed out. The submitted pieces have either been lost forever, abandoned for being too ...

Yes, the same Max Allan Collins was responsible for MOMMY 1+2, as well as another flick Troma distributes called something like REAL TIME: SIEGE ON MARKET STREET. As far as ROAD TO PERDITION goes, the worst part is that I can't blame my frustration on the film itself - because everyone involved did ...

*Spoilers* I personally liked it better the first time I saw it, when it was called SHOGUN ASSASSIN. I couldn't help but sit there the whole time and think what a rip-off it was - from thematic (an assassin for a big boss must turn against the man who gave him everything, after the murder of the wif...

Ahhh, John P. I wasn't here during his run, but the archive bits were pissers. That actually wasn't John P, but our very own Darth Tanner! As for the John P files, what really sucks is that he deleted or altered most of his deliriously deluded posts. What about Petey Simms? Or my old partner-in-cri...
