This film is good for what it's supposed to be--something you mock and ridicule with your friends. This certainly isn't high-class cinema. It's splatter-filled Asian cult exploitation horror. This is one of those movies that you will know whether or not you'll like ahead of time based on your movie-going preferences. The plot is similar to "I Spit on your Grave" but with a monstrous twist. In this story you have Yakuza, who brutally rape a young woman and dope her up…

"Freaking crazy ... a Hell of a tour de force ... teeters on the edge of an abyss leading you straight into the Twilight Zone ... Eat Me sticks its little fingers about everywhere it can to tickle the viewer ... A truly unique experience ... It will delight lovers of cinema's "other" category, and totally piss off the others." - Horreur.com (5 1/2 stars)The 7th Circle of Hell is for those who commit violence against art (grifters, hypocrites and falsifiers, too). They sit…

In 323 B.C.E, having conquered Persia, Alexander the Great set his sights on Arabia, then suddenly succumbed to a strange fever. Locating his final resting place–unknown to this day–remains a tantalizing goal for both archaeologists and treasure hunters. Now the quest for this coveted prize is about to heat up. And Cotton Malone–former U.S. Justice Department agent turned rare-book dealer–will be drawn into an intense geopolitical chess game. After narrowly escaping incineration…

As originally created by author John P. Marquand, Moto was an icy and distinctly lethal Japanese agent; 20th Century Fox, which had earlier created the extremely popular Charlie Chan series, toned down his more deadly qualities, cast German actor Peter Lorre in the role, and between 1937 and 1939 made eight films featuring the character. Although they did not really challenge the Chan films, they were popular in their own right, and it was not until American sentiment began to turn against the Japanese…

This is supposedly a werewolf flick. Most of it seems more like a slasher film. A successful news woman is returning to her small hometown before ramping up her career. She passes a strange man stranded on the highway. She can't stop staring at him but she leaves him behind. The guy is spooky and has bodies in his trunk. He get a ride with an old geezer who he kills. Meanwhile the film takes a turn to show lots of topless guys primping and flexing. Aldo Ray shows up for no reason as some sort…

Todd McFarlane's SpawnAdult, stylish, and more than a little mean, this full-length animated tale has one very strong thing going for it--it knows how to milk "cool." The animation is superior to anything recently devoted to a superhero...or super-antihero, in this case. Al Simmons was a government assassin before he was burned to death and sent to hell (plot summary's starting out nicely, isn't it?). After making a particularly bad deal with the devil--to lead Satan's…

Winner of the Grand Jury Prize in the 2009 Cannes Film Festival and recipient of critical and box-office acclaim in Asia, I jumped at the chance to see Park Chan Wook's (Oldboy, Sympathy for Lady Vengeance) "THIRST". The film is a horror-satirical drama that explores the dark bestial side of humanity that is quite bizarre, even creepy on occasion, but never for one minute does the film relent in exploring the psyche that comes from alienation and loneliness, while becoming a slave…
