Starship Troopers 3 — Highlander 2 — The Devil Dared Me To — Rogue — movie reviews

You know, I’m kinda digging these shorter reviews. I’ll have a third Summer round-up in the next few days, complete with blurbs on everything from The Mummy 3 and The Visitor to Pineapple Express and Tropic Thunder. Also stay tuned for coverage of Uwe Boll’s Seed, Hideo Gosha’s The Wolves, and a few other surprises [...]

Poultrygeist: Night of the Chicken Dead — movie review — Screener!

Director: Lloyd Kaufman
Starring: Jason Yachanin, Kate Graham
Genre: Cult Cinema, Exploitation, Horror
San Francisco Premiere: July 18 at the Roxie Theater [Buy Tickets]

If Grease was gross, it’d be Poultrygeist. Of course, it’d also have topless lesbian activists, explosive diarrhea gags, racism, gore, zombies, and bestiality by a pseudo Dustin Diamond (Screech), not to mention a Ron [...]

Genre: Horror, Supernatural
This film will be screening at SF Indie’s Another Hole in the Head 2008, June 5, 10, and 14. Click here for showtimes.

Black Kiss — AVP: Requiem — Species: The Awakening — Timber Falls — movie reviews

So I’ve seen a few titles over the past month, but just haven’t had any time to review them. So, rather than let them fall to the wayside, here are a few quick capsules. As for regular film/dvd reviews, I’ve just received a flood of titles, including Bohachi and Shinobi no Mono 2: Vengeance. Look [...]

Nightmare Detective movie review

Director: Shinya Tsukamoto

Genre: Japan, Horror, Supernatural, Splatter

Note: This was originally going to be an “in-brief” review, but it soon ballooned out of control. It’s not as polished as I would like, but it is what it is. Enjoy.
Taking cues from Nightmare on Elm Street, The [...]

Black Blood Brothers, Chapter 1 - Bad Tidings anime review

Vampires have always maintained an undeniable appeal in genre fare, even in spite of countless lame fictions. In the film world, for every good Dracula movie there are a handful of Queen of the Damned, Vampire Wars, and Modern Vampires movies. The anime world is no different, as for every Vampire Hunter D there are [...]

Stuck — he-said-she-said — movie review — screener!

HE SAID
Unlike Diary of the Dead, the commentary found in Stuart Gordon’s latest is surprisingly subtle. Based on a true story, the film sees a health-worker hit a homeless man with her car following a late night dancing, drinking, drug session. Concerned with the loss of a possible promotion, she opts not to let anyone [...]

DVD REVIEW . Shogun Assassin 4: Five Fistfulls of Gold

So if you check out this site, and you’ve read my reviews of Shogun Assassin 2 and Shogun Assassin 3, you know what to expect from Shogun Assassin 4: Five Fistfuls of Gold. Yup, Shogun Assassin 4 is the dubbed version of the fifth Lone Wolf and Cub film, Baby Cart in the Land [...]

Never Belongs to Me movie review he-said-she-said screener!

HE SAID:
Nympho teacher
cyborg schoolgirl hooker
penis gun
gay gangster
tiger man
crippled hands
tiger eat da penis…twice
Love makes you do crazy things.
Never Belongs to Me is quite possibly the weirdest film I will see this year. Far from the pretentious weird of last year’s Another Hole in the Head pick, Id, Never Belongs to Me is more the fun and [...]

A Chinese Torture Chamber Story — dvd movie review

Ah, the classic Category III film. Their slew of absurd violence, near always strung together by a nonsensical plot, haphazard camerawork, and out-there acting, really make these an acquired taste — and quite possibly one that is easy to grow out of. For, as much as I have enjoyed the shocking lack of artistry delivered [...]

Dreamlogic.net’s Halloween List 2007

Wow. Is Halloween really in only two days? I meant to put up this Halloween list earlier, but at least we’ve got 48 hours.
Previous Dreamlogic.net Halloween lists have covered a lot of our cult and personal favorites, and with each subsequent year it becomes harder and harder to come up with a list [...]

MOVIE REVIEW . I Know Who Killed Me

I Know Who Killed Me starring Lindsay Lohan was a smart, sensational comedy — wait, it wasn’t a comedy? Let me start again. I Know Who Killed Me should have been called “I Know Who Filmed Me Stripping” because it seemed like the director exploited his voluptuous starlet in attempts to attract more [...]

DVD REVIEW [Early] . Ebola Syndrome

Hot off the heels of the success of The Untold Story, Herman Yau and Anthony Wong teamed up for their first Wong Jing production, Ebola Syndrome. Outdoing The Untold Story in near every aspect, including violence, gore, language, nudity, and all around political incorrectness, Ebola Syndrome has become something of a legend in cult film [...]

Ocean’s 13 — Hostel: Part II — movie reviews

I know some of you out there might actually care about the mainstream releases this past weekend, and so I toss you these two bones. Given the nature of these two films, I think writing full reviews would be fairly superfluous. So, you get a capsule and a mini. Enjoy.
Ocean’s Thirteen
This third outing is [...]
