Megadeth: A Night in Buenos Aires plays like a rocking, kick-ass, best-of live album.

An excellent trip through the twisted horrors of the mind and traps of fame.

I’d totally watch this one again and recommend it

Perhaps Larry Blamire (Lost Skeleton of Cadavra) could have (intentionally) funnied up the script and camera work.

Another home run for Fantagraphics.

inspired by movies such as The Warriors, A Clockwork Orange and Mad Max, Surf Nazis is definitely more art house than house of horror

England Is Mine isn’t La Bamba or The Doors and it isn’t meant to be.

Boulevard Nights avoids the melodrama and controversial “brown face” that Walk Proud possesses.

Cheesy drive-in fare that’s fun throughout.

Assignment in Brittany has its flaws for sure but is an intriguing slice of WWII movie fun.

Heavy on the bloody knife/gunplay action and light on the palaver.

The Seduction is not the best of its genre but it’s worth a watch…not simply for Morgan’s water scenes.

Film Masters has again provided a great restoration of a movie that may have been forgotten had it not been Roy Rogers’ debut lead role.

There’s also the “big parade of torture devices” that appear and mark the movie as a horror picture and not an action/adventure outing.

Class isn’t sure if it wants to be a slapstick, Animal House style comedy with some crude Porky’s moments splashed about or a drama that’s more The Graduate-esque.

Sayles does a great job in capturing the essence of how the game was played 100 years ago and in bringing those old timers back to life.

Thunderheart thrives as a classic neo-Western, crime thriller because of its realism and bold characters.

I didn’t hate Nude for Satan. It does its best to be cerebral, provoke deep thoughts and act as a surreal showcase

The Complete Web of Horror had me completely enthralled from cover to cover.

The tales of terror in this volume mostly center around love triangles and love gone wrong but also incorporate classic monsters like werewolves, vampires, and zombies.

The Vanishing Shadow is four full hours of cliffhanger fun.

Dogfight remains a timeless study in human nature and societal roles.

Chokeslam is a standard rom-com in many ways but its pro wrestling gimmick makes it fun for a wider audience.

Pin Cushion is a poignant dark drama and reminder of how screwed up this world can be

Making a Killing, although not bad overall, is totally saved by Michael Jai White

Coppola manages to keep it interesting as he weaves three different lives together in The Rain People.

The story goes deeper than teens simply smashing up the town and wasting away their days with booze and other drugs.

Soavi keeps his scenes artsy, dreamlike and surreal at times by employing great camera angles, tracking shots and framing

An absolutely amazing restoration of Cathy’s Curse.

A nutty 93-minute romp.

Stand and Deliver stands as a solid story of the positive effects a strong leader and teacher has on a group of youths

Una Familia de Tantas does a great job presenting a time of change in one family’s history, where new ways come crashing into the old.

The Giant Gila Monster and The Killer Shrews are the perfect schlock double feature and look great thanks to Film Masters.

There’s a lot of story going on for such a short runtime.

Witness stands as a solid crime thriller and drama due to its strong cast and its unique story setting.

One can clearly see that Tupac is fired up and the dominant personality wandering that stage.

Sometimes good, too often comically bad but it seems that’s what Danzig’s goal was here: to make a purposely bad, live action comic book.

The more mentally distraught the family becomes the more the house regenerates

Better than expected and may be Bud’s masterpiece.

Strange Invaders is 93 minutes of fun that is best enjoyed if one does not take it too seriously.

Martial arts taught them how to face their fears, roll with life, and keep fighting.

A fine film that does indeed provide many answers as to how the Holiday Special was conceived and brought about.

A full-blown, well-produced, very watchable and enjoyable documentary.

A lighthearted drama that packs a punch and has some good laughs.

Vincent Price casually calls Lee a “bitch.” Good stuff.

its 86 minutes of cliches and tired tales.

Showdown is 98 minutes of fun martial arts action that definitely bridges the gap between The Karate Kid and Never Back Down.

Not exactly good but definitely enjoyable for what it is.

Chaplin vs. America has a good flow and is entertaining throughout.

Nightwing packs a better punch and carries a bigger coup stick than Shadow of the Hawk but both are worth a watch.
