The trailer for It’s Alive…again

While I’m busy transfering my old reviews over to the new web layout, the crew at Bloody Disgusting have unearthed a long-ass trailer for a remake of one of the scariest films from my subversive childhood.

Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me film review

James Bond is back – NOT! – as one vaguely remembered star of stage and screen might have said.

Bamboozled film review

Welcome to a piece of American history. In the old music hall, white comedians and song ‘n’ dance men would splash their faces in charcoal, maybe throw on a pair of white gloves, then go through the step-n-fetchin’ routine, the exotica and the buffoonery of perceived black culture. Jim Crow, Amos ‘n’ Andy, Mammy, L’il ….
