A shoddy transfer and few extras contrast against a solid movie and a thunderous DTS track. Some men are harder to kill than others. Fortunately, I’m one of the harder ones. It’s been a largely successful few weeks for the direct-to-video marketplace; the release of the surprisingly excellent Universal Soldier: Regeneration renewed a modicum of faith in lower-budgeted Action fare, and the same can be said of Give ‘em Hell, Malone , a fun little inter-genre picture that hearkens bac … …

Skip It The Film: Freeze any frame in Give ‘Em Hell Malone and you’ve got a live-action version of a panel from any number of stylish neo-noir graphic novels, inked with bold coloring and sporting boisterous characters. Attach a stream of one-liners and moody descriptors in speech boxes above their heads, and a decent page-flipper...

UNIVERSAL SOLDIER: REGENERATION (2009, Blu-ray released February 2, 2010 – MSRP $34.95) Out of the fridge and into the fray!

Or, Galaxy of Repetitiveness and Clunky 1970s Technology. Why did they all have to die? In some ways, Galaxy of Terror seems sort of like the B-movie antithesis of Forbidden World . Never mind that both are outer space/monster/Sci-Fi/Horror/gore pictures that share a few set decorations; Galaxy of Terror seems to be aiming for a slightly more intellectually...

ZOMBIELAND (2009, Blu-ray released February 2, 2010 – MSRP $39.95) If you don’t like a zombie movie, we can’t be friends. Slap an “…of the Dead” suffix on just about any film title and I’m there!

Welcome back, your dreams were your ticket out. Welcome back… Sam Raimi’s long-awaited, triumphant return to horror has come at last. Despite its teen-friendly rating and restrained gore, Drag Me to Hell is a fierce, nasty, ugly slice of Raimi’s twisted talent; a ballsy throwback to ’80s frightfest filmmaking that draws upon...

And the hardest days, for me, are those when I have the unenviable duty of sitting down for 90 minutes with a torturously inept movie like All About Steve , a misguided rom-com thats short on …

Hmm, this sounds familiar. What do The Ring , The Grudge , and now The Echo have in common? Well, yes, all three have titles with a definite article followed by a vaguely creepy noun, but besides that, they share the same executive producers and each is a remake of an atmospheric Asian horror film.
