‘Love Finds Andy Hardy’ Blu-ray (review)
A lot of film fans make fun of Mickey Rooney these days because, after his days as MGM’s Number One star, his career and his personal life had more ups and downs than a roller coaster. We aren’t here today to talk about that, though. We’re here to talk about the movie that’s…

‘Wild Horse Nine’ (review)
Set against the turbulent political unrest of 1970s Chile and the breathtaking, peaceful backdrop of Rapa Nui, aka Easter Island, Wild Horse Nine is a bittersweet tale of friendship, loyalty, respect, and loss. It is the newest, beautifully bleak entry in writer/director Martin…

FANTASIA OBSCURA: ‘Billy the Kid Versus Dracula’
There are some fantasy, science fiction, and horror films that not every fan has caught. Not every film ever made has been seen by the audience that lives for such fare. Some of these deserve another look, because sometimes not every film should remain obscure. Sometimes,…

‘Bridget Loves Bernie: The Complete Series’ Blu-ray (review)
Bridget Loves Bernie had an appealing cast, an enviable time slot, and an optimistic view of marriage. What it didn’t have was a second season. The CBS sitcom is remembered less for its punch lines than for the religious controversy surrounding its premise—a reminder that…

‘Clayface’ (review)
“Good God!” “EEEEEeeeeaaaaahhh!!” “NONONONONONO!” “NOOOOPE” “Don’t you do it!” “AW Hell yeah!” “GAAAAaaahhhhh!” “Faaaaaaahhhhhk nooooooope!” These should all be quotes used to promote DC’s new film Clayface. These are all direct quotes (I am omitting the expletive-laced ones)…

‘Kung Fu Soccer’ (review
My favorite gag in Kung Fu Soccer (released as Kung Fu Football internationally) happens about thirty minutes in and is emblematic of how comedy lovers have so much to love in this picture: The coach of Emei FC Xu Feng (Lay Zhang) has, through circumstances too convoluted to…

‘The Outsider’ OGN TPB (review)
Written and Illustrated by Joseph D’Esposito Published by Fantagraphics Underground Press Bernie Krigstein seems to be an acquired taste when it comes to comic book art. Thankfully, I did eventually acquire it. Over the past couple of decades, there have been several books on…

‘Pennies from Heaven’ Blu-ray (review)
“I want to live in a world where the songs come true. There must be someplace where them songs are for real.” If this were a line from a 1930s MGM musical, we’d have no trouble identifying the dizzy dreamer who says these words as the hero. Yet while it is an MGM […] The post…

“Bang! Zoom! Wowie! Prepare yourself for the “Night of the 40 Year Old Teenagers From Outer Space” – will they save the world or destroy it?” Neither, actually, but if you’re looking for a quirky slab of retro-inspired movie fun, 2012’s The Ghastly Love of Johnny X will tick all…

‘Rollercoaster’ 4K UHD Blu-ray (review)
Disaster films were one of the genre fads that came to define 1970s cinema, and James Goldstone’s 1977 thriller Rollercoaster is an overlooked but memorable example from the era. A young man (Timothy Bottoms) embarks on a campaign of terror, planting bombs on amusement park…
