Regnier Director: Greg Beeman Network: TNT, airs Sunday Nights Original Telecast: June 23, 2013 Perhaps the least impressive thing about the alien-invasion drama FALLING SKIES to date is the way that everything in it is pretty much what it seems.   Creating ambiguity or mystery is not exactly a priority for this show.  If one of its characters has the controversial idea that maybe, just maybe, some of these creepy, […]Read On »

Filmmaker Brian De Palma couldn’t have asked for a better composer to assist in his stylish Alfred Hitchcock dress-ups for SISTERS  and OBSESSION than the composer the Master of Suspense did wrong with TORN CURTAIN. After Bernard Herrmann’s passing, a talented Italian named Pino Donaggio, who’d thrilled with the right musical stuff whilst pursuing DON’T LOOK NOW‘s killer dwarf about Venice, stepped into the maestro’s music shoes to perfectly replicate Herrmann’s identity in a way that would make Kim Novak jealous. Of the De Palma-Donaggio collaborations that included CARRIE, BODY DOUBLE, BLOW OUT and RAISING CAIN, none reached the stimulating […]Read On »

CD Review: MUD soundtrack

The poetic byways of American Gothic have proven to be musical streets of gold for David Wingo, particularly when casting an ethereal, acoustical spell from the urban youth of “George Washington” to the complicated small town relationships of ALL THE REAL GIRLS and SNOW ANGELS to the travelling musical salesmen employed by THE GREAT WORLD OF SOUND. One especially promising filmmaker to explore such avenues is Jeff Nichols, whose TWILIGHT ZONE-ish fable TAKE SHELTER allowed Wingo to compose a beautifully strange score for one man’s seeming mental breakdown amidst his farming community. Now Nichols takes another affectively unique rural turn […]Read On »

They finally got it right! I finally decided to go back to Las Vegas to give a Michael Jackson Cirque Du Soleil show a try and boy am I glad I did as MICHAEL JACKSON ONE is a winner. About a year and a half ago, The Mandalay Bay showcased the traveling MICHAEL JACKSON: IMMORTAL show presented by Cirque Du Soleil. My niece and I couldn’t wait to go. I was a huge MJ follower as a teenager and needed the nostalgic tour to fitfully mourn his passing. Plus, now my teenage niece is a devoted MJ fan so who […]Read On »

LIFEFORCE Blu-ray | ©2013 Scream! Factory

Rating: R Stars: Steve Railsback, Peter Firth, Frank Finlay, Mathilda May, Patrick Stewart Writers: Dan O’Bannon & Don Jakoby based on the novel SPACE VAMPIRES by Colin Wilson Director: Tobe Hooper Distributor: Scream! Factory Suggested Retail Price: $29.93 Release Date: June 19, 2013 After the success of POLTERGEIST, director Tobe Hooper was poised for studio stardom. However, instead of parlaying that success into something substantial, he opted to helm 1985’s listless LIFEFORCE. Based on the Colin Wilson novel SPACE VAMPIRES, the movie itself should have been epic. It deals with a crew of astronauts entering Haley’s Comet and finding life […]Read On »

Winkless based on the novel by Gary Bradner Director: Joe Dante Distributor: Scream! Factory Suggested Retail Price: $29.99 Release Date: June 19, 2013 While AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON gets kudos as the ground-breaking werewolf movie from 1981 (and rightfully so, because it’s a great movie), some people forget that THE HOWLING came out in 1981 and was just as ground-breaking and entertaining. The two films work in tandem as great examples of excellent genre filmmaking from two rising directors of […]Read On »
