ESCAPE FROM L.A.

The nineties-centric sequel to ESCAPE FOM NEW YORK

Very likely the most interesting post-1980 film made by the late Melvin Van Peebles

My thoughts on the recently deceased director of CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST

One of the more inexplicable cultural touchstones of our era is 1990’s HOME ALONE

There was simply no one else like the Hawaiian-bred Albert Pyun, one of the most irrepressible directors working in any genre

The first book devoted entirely to the life and films of Sam Raimi

This 1992 sci-fier is often proclaimed the best film made by the late Albert Pyun, and that assessment may well be accurate

An allegedly kid-friendly fantasia that works best as a grown-up spectacle viewed with appropriate chemical enhancement

There’s something about the movie flops of the 1990s

Fact: Roger Corman did manage to turn out some interesting films in the 1990s, with the superbly tippy BRAIN DEAD near the top of the list
