Rent It Advertised as “suspenseful” and “a stick of dynamite”, Robert Aldrich's Ten Seconds to Hell (1959) drops a handful of men in the middle of near-constant danger…with mixed results. The story is simple: six German POWs, including Karl Wirtz (Jeff Chandler) and de facto leader Erik Koertner (Jack Palance), have been offered a large payday to clear unexploded Allied bombs from war-torn …
Recommended THE FILM: Click an image to view Blu-ray screenshot with 1080p resolution. Mainstream horror continued to flounder in 2014, but a number of promising independent features managed to fill the void with original chills and thrills.

Rent It The Movie: Finding Fela is an efficient, albeit messy documentary that should provide a decent introduction to those who have never heard of Fela Kuti or have a basic understanding of his work. I belong to the second category.
Recommended The Movie: The Guest is a flat-footed genre exercise that's as straight and stripped as they come, but it's brimming with enough style, tension, mood, and technical creativity to successfully cover for its stunning lack of originality.
Recommended The Movie: Following the success of their first driving and eating tour film in The Trip , Steve Coogan, Rob Brydon and director Michael Winterbottom all returned for an expected second trip of cars and food, with Italy being the backstop.
Recommended The Movie: Even when it was first released thirty-three years ago, On Golden Pond already felt dated, so it's no surprise that viewing it now makes it look older than it actually is.
