I've noticed lately that many of our regulars seem to be "missing in action". Shawn seems to have been gone for a long time (plus his site hasn't been updated in awhile) so I'm starting to worry. Same with Rich, Davis and Aylmer. Matt, Dark Knight, Gothbat and Ian have also been gone for a...

Well IMO 2001 seemed to be slightly better than 2000 in terms of genre offerings. That was a great recap Remo. While I did see some of the stuff you mentioned, reading your post made me realize how many I missed (THIR13EN GHOSTS, GINGER SNAPS). SERIES 7 and MULHOLLAND DRIVE didn't play anywhere near...

Yeah same to you Robert. I just picked me up a fine bottle of Gran Spumante earlier and put it in the fridge so it would be nice and cold tomorrow night. I'll be around, but I'll probably be too busy drinking and stuff to get on the computer http://www.shadows.com/ubb/wink.gif But I will be back in ...

Originally posted by T.Luster: I think these movies are OK to see once.I taped over my copies,after years of letting them collect dust. LOL I understand where you are coming from Terry. Since getting a DVD player, I have watched very few tapes aside from an occasional rental. In fact, I have a ton ...

There are a few video guides that do list video distributors, but not catalog numbers. The ones on the top of my head (which I have on my bookshelf) that are great references for this type of thing are Michael Weldon's PSYCHOTRONIC VIDEO GUIDE and The Videohound Video Guide. Weldon's book lists all ...

Latte, the female lead in FEMALE VAMPIRE was Lina Romay. She later married Franco and indeed appeared in several of his films (in fact still does occasionally). I liked FEMALE VAMPIRE for some reason I can't figure out. Lina Romay is pretty easy on the eyes, but the movie is a little slow and confus...

I ran across one today called THAT LUCKY TOUCH (a Roger Moore film). If I remember correctly, the number on that one was #31003. If I run across any others I'll post them as well. BTW Bruce, did you ever complete your Wizard Video list? If so, do you plan to make these lists into webpages for refere...

Went to check this out the other night and absolutely loved it. Much better and funnier than I expected it to be. Granted it's not a classic, but (as Remo said) it's better than SCARY MOVIE 2. This one moved right along without any tedium. The cast was pretty decent for this type of movie, but Randy...

It's been years since I've seen either film, but I liked GREMLINS 2 a little better than the original. It just had more humor and a nice cast. Christopher Lee's cameo also made it worthwhile.

I've only seen KISS ME MONSTER, but I have to agree with Terry that I found it to be pretty lame and boring. As much as I hate to say it, the Austin Powers movies were more enjoyable that KMM. Franco's movies are somewhat an acquired taste. Out of the ones I've seen, only a handful are ones I can ho...

Artisan has finally released the first season of TWIN PEAKS on DVD. I picked mine up the other day and just finished watching all of the seven episodes. All in all, a pretty cool set that fans of the series are sure to love. The picture is presented full-frame (as originally shot) and looks simply a...

LOL that's a great idea Dylan. I'm sure HEADLESS EYES would make a killer DVD for sure. Maybe someone should talk to Anchor Bay or Image about that one. They could throw in such features as: remastered anamorphic widescreen, DTS 6.1 track, trailers, deleted scenes and retrospective documentary. The ...

I just got back from seeing this tonight and thought it was great as well. The sets, costumes, and special effects were all top-notch. The movie also benefitted from a great cast. Ian McKellen and Christopher Lee were both great even if their parts were somewhat smaller than expected. But I thought ...

You know, I had given very little consideration to this one. But seeing as there is little else out there I would care to see right now, this sounds like it might fit the bill nicely. After two years of crappy teen flicks hogging the screens (and driving away halfway decent films that demand to be s...

Originally posted by Latte Thunder: Xtro2 was obviously "influenced" by Alien... but about the same time Alien was released, it would seem that every hack in Italy was making some kind of "tribute" to Alien. Let's not forget the countless Italian rip-offs of JAWS and DAWN OF THE...

Well I guess what they say is true....one person's trash is another one's treasure. To be honest, both movies are pretty bad. But at least CITY OF THE WALKING DEAD didn't tempt me to hit the fast-forward button as much as NIGHT OF THE ZOMBIES did. But then again I'm debating with someone (other than...

Great review Remo. I never saw OPEN YOUR EYES, but I probably won't be at much of a loss if I see VANILLA SKY first, then see the former at another time (not a lot of places around here actually have it to rent http://www.shadows.com/ubb/frown.gif ). I definitely need to see this movie as it seems l...

Originally posted by DylanDog: I've been jonesing to watch some half decent zombie flicks recently. (So why did I just buy an old Vestron Night of the Zombies tape? LOL) Actually Anchor Bay is supposed to be releasing this on DVD next year (under the original title HELL OF THE ZOMBIES). Not too sur...

Based on what I've heard, they are a pretty reliable company and put out decent discs. This summer they put out Fulci's DEMONIA on DVD. Haven't seen the disc yet, but I've heard nothing but good things from those who have (even if the film itself is one of Fulci's lesser efforts). They also have Jes...

For those of you who haven't heard yet...I just found out that Shriek Show plans to release Andrea Bianchi's BURIAL GROUND on DVD in Region 1 next year. The extras haven't been finalized yet, but they plan to include cast interviews if possible (I would love to see what Mariangela Giordano is up to ...

Well it seems that a new Russ Meyer movie has finally seen the light of day. It is the video with Pandora Peaks that he has mentioned in interviews (along with other "in-works" projects) over the years. I actually got it awhile back, but I only now got around to watching it. The verdict......

That was an awesome score Robert. Here are my remarks on a few of your picks: TWITCH OF THE DEATH NERVE - haven't seen the DVD of this yet, but I loved this film when I saw it on video years ago. An atmospheric murder mystery by Mario Bava. Some of the graphic murder scenes were lifted from this mov...

Yeah, a lot of the "new footage" in NOTLD 30 is of the first zombie played by Bill Hinzman. First you see his origin when he jumps out of a coffin and they also have an ending that shows him being killed. But contrary to what people have been saying on the net, there are NO scenes of Beekm...

I'm pretty much staying away from this one (at least until it comes out on video). I was never into the whole Harry Potter phenomenom and the hype is just too overbearing for a movie that never interested me in the first place. The only reason I cared to see it was because of the Episode 2 trailer. ...

LOL those reviews were pretty funny, but I have to wonder what planet this guy is on. For the record, I saw 3000 MILES TO GRACELAND in the theater. Yes, it was as bad as people say, but I still have to say I enjoyed it. If you ask me, it was worth it just to see Kevin Costner and Kurt Russell sing a...
