Shout Factory has recently released two Blu-ray packages featuring two movies that might be good for Valentine’s Day, but frankly they might be best for Halloween. Looking at these four films they generally fall into the broad category of “horror/comedy/romance” though that’s a pretty loose. This one features two movies that fall more into the comedy/romance…

Yes, that is Steve Guttenberg you see in the beginning of the film. The Nazi war criminal Josef Mengele is in Paraguay. This was a bit of speculation when the film came out in 1978, but the film was a bit prophetic in this respect. What The Boys From Brazil offers up is a story…
Nightbreed came out in 1990 and was poised to change the way we saw vampire films. At least, that’s what I thought when I went in to see it back then. Or maybe it was a more standard horror/slasher film with a vampire protagonist. Yeah, I was wrong. I walked out of the theater glad…
Jack Kirby created The Eternals after returning to Marvel after a stint at DC where he created the New Gods.

I don’t think I was even aware of Neighbors being in theaters. Apparently it made a lot of money. Is it believable? Well, there’s a bit of a premise suspension of disbelief, but getting past that there’s a pretty good comedy there. Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne star as Mac and Kelly, a couple in…
I was so pissed off after watching Deep Star Six that I didn’t watch any movies dealing with the ocean for a while. That meant I missed seeing The Abyss until it was rereleased in theaters in the special extended edition (and I did so sort of grudgingly, but am now glad I did see…
Motel Hell is a B movie and everybody involved knows it. It takes 18 minutes before any blood is shown, and even then it is done in a way that intentionally elicits laughter. Actually there are a lot of moments that are played up for comedic effect. One could almost think this was a comedy…
Without Warning a low budget science fiction horror film. It looks like a made for cable film (those don’t look like theatrical credits). There’s something about the film though, maybe it’s that it is so low budget that it isn’t constrained to “normal” filmmaking and storytelling conventions and it just tells its story without getting…
