Highly Recommended The Movie: Pork Chop Hill is an excellent Korean War-set combat film from 1959. Like Sam Fuller's Fixed Bayonets! and Anthony Mann's Men in War before it, Pork Chop Hill puts us on the ground with a group of G.I.s facing an impossible mission that's all risk for questionable reward
Rent It The Movie: I have yet to have had the pleasure of watching one of the many films written and directed by Tyler Perry, but from what I've gathered second- and third-hand, his output is characterized by abrupt tonal shifts from silly comedy to severe melodrama, augmented by themes derived from Christian morality. If that is truly the case, then I wouldn't be surprised if Tyler Perry took …

Highly Recommended Fright Night Blu-ray Review What would you do if you discovered that you livednext doorto a vampire? That was the core conceptual idea which led to thecreation ofthe beloved 80's horror classic Fright Night (1985), which wasacritical darling, the second-highest grossing horror film the year itcame out,and a effort which led to both a direct-sequel and a big-budget 3Dremake …
Recommended The Movie: I'd be shocked if there isn't at least one Hollywood studio developing The Green Prince as a feature. The true story of the son of a Hamas leader secretly collaborating with the Shin Bet, Israel's internal security service, in order to cut down on the amount of innocent lives that would have been taken by Hamas' terrorist attacks is ripe for an awards season prestige …
Recommended The Movie: Dear White People is like a less brutal, angry, poignant, yet almost as funny millennial version of Do The Right Thing , utilizing the benign hipster storytelling approach of Wes Anderson while appropriating some of the visual aesthetics of late period Kubrick. It's not the new original voice of satire or the groundbreaking honest take on America's current race relations …
Rent It Director: James Motttern Starring: Ben Barnes, Leighton Meester, Harvey Keitel Year: 2014 I'm a big NFL fan and always enjoy when a football player makes the transition to Hollywood actor.
Recommended “Brawling! Like a common hussy!” — Sally Maris (Joan Leslie), appalled at her own violence Woman They Almost Lynched (1953) is a fascinating though ultimately not very good oddball Western. Its gender-switch plot plays like a crude warm-up to Johnny Guitar , (1954), Nicholas Ray's celebrated if campy Western starring Joan Crawford and Mercedes McCambridge. In Woman They Almost …
Recommended The Movie: Directed (and co-written) by Yang Lu, 2014's Brotherhood Of Blades is set in the Ming Dynasty and is one of many recent Chinese period martial arts dramas to make its way to these North American shores over the last few years. A lot of these pictures are fairly interchangeable, though they do typically boast beautiful production values and impressive martial arts set …
Rent It The Movie: Directed by Brett Simmons (and produced by Drew Barrymore, yes that Drew Barrymore), 2014's Animal is hardly going to win any awards for originality but for the creature feature fans out there who appreciate guys in suits' over CGI rendered beasties, this is worth a look. The movie revolves around a camping trip led by Jeff (Parker Young) who is accompanied by his foxy …
