If you conduct a Google search about Syfy’s Haven, chances are you won’t find a wealth of information about this ongoing television series. That, my friends, is a shame. Based loosely of Stephen King’s The Colorado Kid, the remarkable mythology behind the supernatural ...

Said to be Buster Keaton’s favorite of his own films (and the definite precursor to his celebrated masterpiece The General), 1924’s The Navigator is proof positive that Keaton was an ingenious comedic talent. No silent movement from his tiny frame ...

Jason Statham is no stranger to the mess of pulp found inside his latest redemptive mission, Safe. Written and directed by Boaz Yakin (Remember the Titans), the rock’em, sock’em movie plays for eye-catching wit and the absolute crushing of skulls. You see, Statham ...

AMC, perhaps learning from the mistake of their minimalist approach to bonus material on the first release of Season One, do The Walking Dead and its fans a solid with the release of The Walking Dead: The Complete Season Two on blu-ray. The series ...

Ah, the unblinking camcorder eye. Just what does it see? In co-writer and director Eduardo Sanchez’s Lovely Molly, that red eye records plenty of disturbing images but none more terrifying than a mind unwinding due to dark family secrets and serious drug abuse ...

It’s hard to conceive in this era of remake-itus that some re-dos in the history of cinema go on to become classics in their own right. For genre fans, John Carpenter’s The Thing is often cited as a prime example. For comedy however, Billy Wilder’s beloved cross-dressing ...

Take me to your teacher. High school is already weird enough. Leave it to writer/director Robert Rodriguez to make it even weirder by stocking its halls with horny teens, jocks, geeks, and aliens. The Faculty may not be the sharpest film in the world but, as a rip on all the ...
