A classic 70s revenge film

The Big Red One is a World War II movie from 1980, and it seems like I never hear anyone talk about it anymore. It was made independently but has been overshadowed recently by more modern versions of World War II stories, like Saving Private Ryan. This is a shame because it is excellent. ItContinue reading “THE BIG RED ONE (1980)”

Here in the U.S. of A. it is Memorial Day. For those that don’t live here, Memorial Day is the one day a year that we remember those who died fighting for our country. A lot of people like to have barbecues and family gatherings. I like to spend the day making those people feelContinue reading “Memorial Day War Movie Marathon”

The last 10 years have shown that the 1980s will never get old. There are a lot of movies and music around that have the look, the sound, and the feel of the 80s. Some of it has been pretty lame (Kung Fury,Manborg), and some of it has been awesome (The Guest, Father’s Day, Drive).Continue reading “Turbo Kid”

It’s October so you know what that means. That’s right. Its time for me to tell you about movies with cannibals and rape. The 1985 film Cut and Run directed by Ruggero Deodato has both of those things and more! And, dare I say, it’s my favorite cannibal horror movie. The movie has a absurdlyContinue reading “CUT AND RUN 1985”

As you all probably know by now actor Robert Duvall passed away this week. Big loss. The man was 95 though so I can’t say any of us should be surprised. That is a hell of a run though and he will not be forgotten. His career was just one iconic class movie after another.Continue reading “Robert Duvall Film Retrospective”

This time we are looking at a 1981 slasher film. Unfortunately, it never got a franchise like many other 1980s horror slashers. That is a real shame. It has some of the best, nastiest kills, perhaps second only to The Prowler. The film starts with the story of Harry Warden, a local miner who getsContinue reading “My Bloody Valentine”

Dead Heat is one of those little gems that seem to regularly come right out of the 1980s. It is a genre-blending mix of action, comedy, and horror featuring cops and zombies. They just don’t make movies like this anymore, that fit right in with other classics like Re-Animator, although it is a step downContinue reading “Dead Heat 1988”

A hidden gem of a Christmas movie. Rare Exports is a holiday favorite of mine. Who doesn’t like a little horror mixed in with their holidays? The film is a nice mix of fantasy, action, and horror elements and gets all those elements just right. Rare Exports is set in Finland and the story concernsContinue reading “RARE EXPORTS”

Silent Night is a 2012 remake of Silent Night, Deadly Night. Unlike most remakes, it’s pretty damned good. This is a remake done right. The concept of a killer maniac dressed as Santa running loose in a town is kept in place, as is a past trauma as his motive. For extra cool points, theContinue reading “Silent Night 2012”
