Reviewing films slightly off the beaten path
Featuring an intro from Peckinpah scholar Garner Simmons!
The Wild Bunch is arguably the best film made by maverick filmmaker Sam Peckinpah. It is certainly one of the greatest Westerns ever made. The Warner Blu-ray is dated somewhat, but is still an irresistible package for fans of the film.
Small Soldiers is a family friendly film from Joe Dante from 1998. Featuring some great comedic talents, the film is ripe for rediscovery.
Escape from New York introduced the world to one of the ultimate badass protagonists Snake Plissken and every futuristic action film made afterward owed it a debt for finding the right formula. Shout!Factory has given the film its due with its collector’s edition.
