Todd Rigney January 22, 2010

The people working diligently behind-the-scenes at The Asylum, the infamous production company known for their low-budget adaptations of big-budget theatrical films, have been pretty busy over the past few months. If the promise of...

Director Mark Romanek and Ben Stiller Hear The Voices

Todd Rigney January 20, 2010

I love Mark Romanek. His undeniably clever 2002 thriller “One Hour Photo” is a fantastic film, and it actually holds up incredibly well to repeat viewings. That is, of course, if you can stomach...

The Shinjuku Incident Scheduled to Arrive on R2 This February

Todd Rigney January 19, 2010

Truth be told, I wasn’t a fan of the grossly melodramatic 2009 Jackie Chan outing “The Shinjuku Incident,” but I suppose there are oodles of people out there who are genuinely excited about its...

Todd Rigney January 18, 2010

The first thought that popped into my peanut-shaped head after watching the trailer for director David DeFalco’s upcoming action extravangaza “Wrong Side of Town” was, and I quote, “When did someone resurrect PM Entertainment...

Two Frosty Clips from Adam Green’s Frozen

Two Frosty Clips from Adam Green’s Frozen

Todd Rigney January 18, 2010

Adam Green’s upcoming snow-covered thriller “Frozen” seems like a risky venture. Take a group of friends (portrayed by several relatively unknown actors), stick them on a malfunctioning chairlift with little hope of survival, and...

English Language Trailer For Roman Polanski’s Ghost Writer

Todd Rigney January 14, 2010

Personal issues aside, I think Roman Polanski is an outstanding director. Sure, his 1999 occult thriller “The Ninth Gate” was a bit of a misfire, but there’s always “Chinatown” and “The Tenant” to help...

Crispin Glover is the Only Reason to Watch The Donner Party Trailer

Todd Rigney January 11, 2010

Let’s make one thing perfectly clear, shall we? The trailer for T.J. Martin’s 2009 historical thriller “The Donner Party” isn’t particularly interesting, and, truthfully, I’m not sure if I’m willing to hand over 90...

Zombie Hunter Rika (2008) Movie Review

Todd Rigney January 11, 2010

As someone who tends to favor the low-budget, the twisted, and the purposely bizarre, it’s really no surprise that this endless wave of violent, over-the-top action currently streaming out of Japan amuses me to...

If It’s Bizarre Organisms Having Sex, It Must Be a New Splice Clip

Todd Rigney January 9, 2010

Are you as excited about Vincenzo Natali’s upcoming sci-fi chiller “Splice” as I am? Probably not, but that’s okay. In case you were wondering, I’m a little green that those lucky individuals attending Sundance...

Todd Rigney January 9, 2010

After clashing with MGM over the use of gimmicky 3D technology in the remake of Paul Verhoeven’s classic 1987 action/comedy “Robocop,” it would appear that Darren Aronofsky’s ambitious production has taken a severe turn...

The A-Team Trailer is Pretty Freaking Awesome

Todd Rigney January 9, 2010

Honestly, I had my doubts about “Smokin’ Aces” director Joe Carnahan’s upcoming summer blockbuster “The A-Team,” that is, until the first theatrical trailer made its way onto movie-oriented websites early Friday morning. Much to...

The Second Trailer for True Legend Gave Me Chills. Serious Chills.

Todd Rigney January 6, 2010

In case you didn’t know, Yuen Woo Ping is the man, and the second trailer for his directorial debut “True Legend” is pretty snazzy. It’s been a while since I’ve seen an “old school”...

Dead Snow Headed to Region 1 This February

Todd Rigney January 5, 2010

Because I’m an impatient horror dweeb who’s prone to spending too much of my hard-earned cash on import DVDs, I already own a copy of Tommy Wirkola’s impossibly entertaining Nazi zombie comedy “Dead Snow”...

Todd Rigney January 5, 2010

If you didn’t grow up nerdy and socially awkward in the early 90′s, chances are you missed out on Albert Pyun’s wonky adaptation of the semi-popular Marvel comic book “Captain America.” The film, which...
