Scream Factory is showing no limits this year to the eras with which they are bulking out their library in 2019. Coming July 15th is a the 1943 horror film The Leopard Man. Its a film notable for being the first with which to appropriately or not be afraid to tackle the subject of serial killers (And so ahead of that, the term “serial killer” hadn’t been coined yet). This release boasts a new 4K transfer from the original negative and a brand new commentary to go with a previous one done by director William Friedkin. The Leopard Man looks to be as solid a package as you could put together for a cult film of its age. You can check out the review and/or pre-order yourself a copy by clicking on the Amazon link following the review. Continue reading ‘The Leopard Man (Blu-ray Review)’

Movies about how life can be thrown into a tailspin are always interesting to me. The changes don’t have to be monumental, but when they are you are consistently drawn in to the story more. I went into my viewing of The Professor with a small tinge of doubt right out of the gate. To be honest, I had never heard of the film prior to receiving it, and the title gives little hope you’ll be seeing something promising. Continue reading ‘The Professor (Blu-ray Review)’

This is some exciting, creepy, kooky news! Back in the 90s, Barry Sonnenfeld began an impressive 4-film run with The Addams Family and followed it up with one of the best comedy sequels of all time, The Addams Family Values (he followed that up with Get Shorty and Men in Black). Now both films are coming to Blu-ray (Values for the very first time), just in time for the new animated film hitting theaters this fall. There’s little reason not to be excited about these very enjoyable, well-cast, and visually dazzling films. Read on to learn more about these upcoming releases, which will be arriving on Blu-ray on October 1.

Pet Sematary kind of freaked me out as a kid, but truth be told I never read the 1983 novel of the same name by Stephen King. Revisiting the film nowadays feels a bit silly thanks to the shoddy special effects and all back then, but the core of the terror is still there. It’s that core I’ve seen repeated in countless movies since its science never grows tiresome on me or countless others. I’m all about re-animation. However, it’s 2019 now and like it or not we have our second adaptation of King’s infamous literary work. This is also my first time taking this 2019 incarnation of Pet Sematary in so what you’re about to read below is literally my first account on the subject matter at hand.

Warner Archive Collection has delivered a nice little surprise this month in the form of 1978’s Corvette Summer. Or for many years as people knew it “That movie Mark Hamill did after Star Wars”. The film didn’t quite strike with audiences that year and had a weird reputation, but I’ll argue that its kinda sorta worth another look. Not that its some forgotten or unappreciated gem from 41 years ago, but moreso that its a perfectly fine film and not this dreadful thing its reputation would have you thinking about it. Plus, Annie Potts rules in this movie and you should check her out at least. The film made its way on June 18th, though it looks like the initial run might be out, so you’ll have to wait on the second wave to order. There is a link you can do something with below, but in the meantime, check out this review or you can hear me discuss the film on the Forgotten Films podcast a few years back by clicking HERE.

Scream Factory like to fashion themselves on housing many John Carpenter films, but they are also looking like a library of iconic actor Tom Atkins (The Fog, Escape From New York, Halloween III: Season of the Witch).

It’s not like you didn’t know they were making another Spider-Man movie, right? This feat was solidified inevitable. For those that are counting this is also the twenty-third film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). What makes this one interesting is the fact that it’s the first film out of the gate that follows the record smashing Avengers: Endgame. I hope you don’t have to ask me why that is so intriguing, but just in case you do I’m going to do the unthinkable. For the uninitiated I’ll spoil the beans right here in the very first paragraph. It’s because of the fact that so many game changing events went down in Endgame. Therefore, Spider-Man: Far From Home is the start of something new from a certain point of view. That mainly stems from the fact that we’re supposedly 5 years into the future here. Right? Well, that’s what I’m most interested in seeing how they handle. So replenish your web fluid and sling on down below with me as I tackle this subject and more. Continue reading ‘‘Spider-Man: Far From Home’ Puts The FUN in Travel! (Movie Review)’

One thing I don’t want to do in the movie theater is read. However, when you sit down to a Canadian french speaking film with english subtitles you’re kind of locked in. The Fall of the American Empire is a film that I was very much unfamiliar with, but was willing to give a shot. The film gives us a typical “what would you do with the money?” scenario involving a large sum of cash suddenly coming into the possession of our “Average Joe” protagonist. The premise is appealing due to its juxtaposing themes of morality and desire. The allure of money, and the power that comes with it, is a tale as old as time. Watching what money does to a character is fascinating. It’s like a car crash… you just can’t look away. The transformation of said character is something that an audience cannot help, but to be tuned into. I was very much along for the ride. I was on the edge of my seat while I nervously watched the protagonist dodge the law scene after scene. The possibility of being caught red-handed loomed around every corner. However, disappointment struck when I least expected it. Alright guys hurry up and grab a duffle bag of cash the review is coming!
