Highly Recommended Joan Crawford seems to be the only major star from Hollywood's Golden Age whose movies today are stubbornly, consistently viewed through the prism of modern sensibilities and hindsight. Today, virtually all her post-MGM performances are regarded as high camp, even in acknowledged classics like Johnny Guitar (1954)
Recommended THE FILM: The filmmakers behind this 1988 remake of The Blob understand how ridiculous a giant gelatinous killer really is. Chuck Russell directs from a script co-written by Frank Darabont, and The Blob embraces its B-movie mentality like a long-lost lover returned. Thirty years of special effects maturation allows this remake to up the gory ante, and The Blob is delightfully over …

Highly Recommended Content: With the combination of the Director of the fim, Hiroyuki Okiura, whom has worked on powerhouses such as Jin-Roh: The Wolf Brigade, Akira, Cowboy Bebop: The Movie, and The Evangelion and Ghost in the Shell franchises, and the animation/production studio behind Attack on Titan, Eden of the East, FLCL, every Ghost in the Shell anime, and Psycho-Pass , Letter to Momo …

Recommended The Series: HBO's vampire fantasy/soap opera series True Blood ran seven seasons from 2008 until just this year, 2014.
Skip It The Movie: Shock Waves is one of those 70s cheap genre exploitation flicks where the artwork promoting it is much better than the movie itself. It takes a killer premise, Nazi zombies bred to survive underwater come back decades after World War II to wreak havoc, and destroys it with a dull and lifeless execution, depthless characters, horrid acting and worst of all for such a film …
Recommended The Movie: Directed by filmmaker Ren Sampaio and adapted from a popular song entitled Faroeste Caboclo by Brazilian musician Renato Russo, Brazilian Western isn't really so much a western as it is a modern crime drama.
