Here’s a film that’s a little different from Anchor Bay’s usual fare of obscure horror and action films. Klaus Kinski stars as Sir Stephen in ’Fruits of Passion’, which is also known as ’The Story of O Continued’. The film concerns O [...]

Hell In The Pacific

’Hell in the Pacific’ is a classic anti-war movie. There are no glorious battles or heroic last stands here. Instead, the futility and absurdity of warfare is driven home through the experiences of two men, one Japanese and one American, stranded [...]

I can’t help it, but I love old science fiction and horror movies. No matter how cheesy or ridiculous they may seem to others, I usually have a great time with them. It is a notoriety I have had since I was young and these films don’t cease to elate [...]

’Before Sunrise’ is an almost completely overlooked romantic gem by writer/director Richard Linklater (’Slackers’ and ’Dazed & Confused’). Taking place entirely over the course of one magical night in Vienna, the film explores the trials [...]
