Piranha is the Roger Corman produced horror-comedy that put director Joe Dante on the map. It still stands on its own merits as a horror film that revels in its absurd premise.
Hollywood Boulevard gave the world directors Joe Dante and Allan Arkush and producer Jon Davison. The film was made on a shoestring budget for Roger Corman in ten days. Scorpion Releasing has done an admirable job to restore the film.
The incredibly imaginative director Joe Dante granted our site an exclusive interview where we discussed his origins and long career in film. The interview took place over two days and covers a lot of material from his early days as a trailer editor up to his recent work. We are thankful that Joe was so generous with his time to answer all of our questions in great detail.
Death Warrant is a great early Van Damme feature. Scorpion Releasing/ Ronin Flix have given the film a strong transfer from a 2K scan and some enjoyable special features.
Why Don’t You Just Die! is a hyper violent and very funny comedy from Russia. Arrow Video have given the film a release and it ranks as one of my favorite new releases from this year.
The sophomore feature by S. Craig Zahler is a well crafted piece of grind house cinema with a stellar lead performance by Vince Vaughn. This one is not to be missed!
The third film by acclaimed anime filmmaker Satoshi Kon has finally been released on Blu-ray and it looks and sounds fantastic. All four of his films have now received stateside releases.
The debut film from writer/director S. Craig Zahler is a truly unique Western that borrows elements from the Horror genre. Kurt Russell leads an amazing ensemble cast.
Color of Night was vilified upon its release but has still held onto a devoted fan base for more than twenty five years. The new release by Kino includes the home video debut of the Theatrical Cut and a great commentary track by Richard Rush. Unfortunately, the video specs are still pretty rough.
Satan Never Sleeps features a strong performance by William Holden and lush cinematography by Oswald Morris, but the sexual politics of the latter half of the film feel dated in our present time. Twilight Time has given the film a beautiful release.
