Recommended So a girl and boy meet one another and fall desperately in love, except they're on different landscapes with opposing gravity that meets somewhere in the middle. If the plot of Yasuhiro Yoshiura's Patema Inverted (2013) sounds a little familiar, it's due to the the not-so-well-received Upside Down (2012), an effects-heavy live action film starring Jim Sturgess and Kristen Dunst …
Rent It The Movie: In this latest directorial effort from Brian Trenchard-Smith (the man who gave us Stunt Rock and Escape 2000 among plenty of other Ozlpoitation classics!), Thomas Jane plays Peter Roberts, a former race car driver who has given all of that up for the quiet life. He now makes his living as a driving instructor.
DVD Talk Collector Series Well this is a treat! As a movie, Dragonfly Squadron (1954) is fairly ordinary, a war movie with a familiar story and genre stereotypes: hardline, humorless commanding officer; sly second-in-command, subordinate with a personal grudge against his commanding officer, a woman emotionally torn between the dedicated, self-sacrificing doctor she married and the commanding …
Skip It Of all the criticisms one could direct at a movie, “cliched” is probably the most common, but to call a movie “cliched” isn't entirely straightforward.
Skip It To be clear upfront: there's no question that Iceman , a Hong Kong action-comedy released in its home country in 3D, is a patently silly movie. The story follows He Ying, a Ming Dynasty royal guard, who, after being wrongfully accused of treason and sentenced to death, ends up caught in a blizzard along with his former friends and is frozen alive for 400 years, re-awakening in 2013 to a …

Rent It Not to be confused with Renny Harlin's The Legend of Hercules —and don't worry, it probably won't be—Brett Ratner's Hercules (2014) is yet another sword-and-sandal epic featuring brave warriors facing off against nigh-unstoppable evil forces.
Highly Recommended The Movie: It's beyond a doubt that Dog Day Afternoon is a timeless masterpiece that revolutionized the bank robbery genre and is one of the most important works of 70s American cinema, thought by many, myself included, to be the greatest period in film history. Considering Sidney Lumet is one of my top five favorite directors and Dog Day Afternoon is my second favorite film …
Recommended Content: Based on the critically acclaimed PlayStation 3/X-Box 360 video game, Bayonetta , comes Bayonetta: Bloody Fate , a somewhat sequel/retelling of the original game. With the writers from the game and the studio behind the production of the aesthetically stunning, Last Exile and the anime powerhouse, Hellsing , all on board.
Recommended The Movie: Made two years after the seminal Re-Animator and once again produced by Charles Band and Empire Pictures, Stuart Gordon's Dolls is part horror movie, part black comedy and part fairy tale and while it does tend to lean towards the clich s often associated with horror films, that doesn't diminish the film's entertainment value.
