UWE BOLL RAW
Exactly what you’d expect from a filmmaker who’s often called the modern day Ed Wood: grammatically suspect, often uproarious and downright pissy
A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET (1984)
It’s no longer the mind-blower it once was, but Wes Craven’s 1984 classic remains an attention-getter
HAPPINESS
A 1998 film that in its pitiless depictions of loneliness, jealousy and boredom is more relevant to the iPhone age than the time in which it was made
Paul Morrissey: 1938-2024
Looking back over the career of a true renaissance filmmaker
SOME CALL IT LOVING
The altogether bizarre second feature directed by James B. Harris, Stanley Kubrick’s former producing partner
PRIVATE PROPERTY
A “Terrible and disgusting” (so claimed JFK) 1960 indie? Perhaps, but it’s also a good one.
THE GIFT
In which the problem of the miscast director, Sam Raimi in this case, comes into play
BELLFLOWER
Easily one of the strongest “horror” movies of 2011
THE SECRET LIFE OF SARAH SHELDON
An attention-getting, if not necessarily “good,” no-budgeter containing sex, eugenics and a penis monster
DESERTERS
If you’re willing to put up with an abundance of low budget distraction you’ll find this to be one of the most interesting Canadian films of the 1980s
