The original Faces of Death feature is an infamous piece of VHS history, filled with shock and gore. It was passed around in the ’80s and ’90s as a rite of horror passage that made you question if what you were seeing was real or not.

When it comes to summer blockbusters, there’s so many choices in terms of formats which you can see big films in. IMAX is wonderful. D-Box is a hoot!

If you haven’t tried one out yet, there’s no better opportunity to do so than this weekend when you see The Fall Guy (and trust me, you really should see it!).

I love summer movies! Ever since I was a kid, they gave me a reason to visit a cool air conditioned theater during summer vacation, to immerse myself in the exploits and explosions of action stars and spectacular spectacles. And while the definition of a summer blockbuster has evolved thanks to the dawn of the superhero film, every once in a while, a terrific throwback movie with practical stunts and a witty script will come along to remind you that blockbusters without superheroes can still be just as incredible. And that’s The Fall Guy!

The ’80s are alive! THEY’RE ALIVE (sorry I couldn’t resist). Honestly, it’s been a while since we’ve seen a movie like Lisa Frankenstein: a tribute to Tim Burton, Georges Méliès, and the ’80s all rolled into one. The directorial debut of Zelda Williams, with a biting and hilarious script from Diablo Cody, this is a fun, dark, and oddly cute movie that’s not afraid to let its freak flag fly! And that rareness makes it even more special when a film like this comes along.
