by Eric San Juan
November 10, 2005

Oh dear god, these movies suck. They suck, they suck, they suck. No, really: These movies suck. They don’t suck in a quaint, charming, guilty pleasure kind of way, either. They suck. The films on this list represent some of the worst cinema has to offer, a veritable smorgasbord of suckitude the likes of which hasn’t been seen on screen since Vincent Gallo convinced Chloe Sevigny that a solid career move involved his semen in her mouth.

That, in a nutshell, is ' 100 Suckiest Movies Of All Time list.

The 10 Best Horror Sequels on DVD
by Shawn McLoughlin
October 31, 2005

Sequels are traditionally garbage. For every Terminator 2: Judgment Day there is an Eddie and the Cruisers II: Eddie Lives (that sounds like a horror film, but it isn’t). But there is an exception to this – horror films. It isn’t that horror film sequels are golden, filled with fantastic writing or acting; on the contrary, the difference between the horror sequel and the average non-horror sequel is that the horror film rarely tries to exceed its own reach. You are likely to be more satisfied with the limitations of Creepshow 2 than you are Caddyshack II. So to achieve the ultimate in karma points, I’ve decided to tell you straight up what the ten most worthy horror sequels are for your Halloween amusement. This way, you won’t have to sit through the duds (unless they are Milk Duds). All of these are available on DVD, so you have no damned excuse not to rent if you missed one. Enjoy!

The 10 Greatest Baseball Films
by Jim McDevitt
October 27, 2005

Baseball. Just say the word and you will bring a smile to my face. I’ve been a baseball fan as long as I can remember and I don’t think it is possible that love will ever fade. As we come to the end of another baseball season, I am a little sad, but luckily we’ll always have baseball movies to get us through those long, cold winter months. The good news is that baseball is the most often and well represented sport in the medium of film.

Can You Say “BOO”?
A Guide To Kid-Friendly Horror
by Comedian
October 27, 2005

As a child I enjoyed a good scary movie during Halloween, something that continued into adulthood. Every year, I buy a few new horror movies when the Halloween season kicks in, getting my share of scares. It’s not difficult to do; the DVD shelves are littered with scores of horror titles. But while there are plenty of horror and monster movies out there for adults, finding something the kids and adults can watch together can be difficult.

Difficult, but not impossible. Here are some suggestions for your kids and for the kid at heart...

The Most Horrible, Frightening, Terrible, Vile, Awful Moments
in Non-Horror Movie History!
by John Felix
October 25, 2005

This is a collection of films that don’t belong in a horror movie list. In fact, most of these films have nothing to do with horror whatsoever. Sure, some of them intentionally create uncomfortable situations, but for the most part they shouldn’t even be anywhere near the word “horror”. However, every single movie on this list has moments, even fleeting, where they’ve managed to give me the absolute goddamn heebie-jeebies.

So let’s celebrate those uncomfortable, stomach-churning moments. These aren’t ranked in any particular order, but if you have a fastidious need for organization, pretend this is a list that ranks things from “unpleasant” to “unpleasant,” or vice-versa.

“I Can’t Believe I’ve Never Seen This!”
by Eric San Juan
September 29, 2005

It’s confession time. This may not come easy – confessions never do – but it must be done. It would be dishonest to do anything but. After all, I sit here and write for a DVD website, offering my perspective on cinema to you, the reader. So in the interest of honesty, I confess: There are a whole slew of culturally important films I have never seen.

10 Kid Programs That Won’t Fry Your Brain
by Comedian

There is a LOT of dung out there in children’s programming. If you’re a parent, and like most allow your child to watch some amount of TV, you’re already keenly aware of this. You’ve probably had more than your fair share of staring blankly ahead at the screen like a Romero zombie while an idiot man child in some bizarre costume screams nonsense at your little bundle of joy.

The Five Essential Hitchcocks
by Eric San Juan

So you want to watch some Alfred Hitchcock. With a library as impressive as his, it’s sure to be a rewarding experience. Few directors can boast of a career so loaded with creative successes as Hitchcock’s. Over the course of a more than 50-year directing career, stretching from the silent era to the dramatically changed world of 1970s film, Hitchcock was at the helm of quality production after quality production, proving himself to be one of the most consistently great creators in the history of cinema. From stylish silent films like The Lodger to moody thrillers like Strangers On A Train to special effects extravaganzas like The Birds, he again and again hit the mark.

The Work of Milla Jovovich:
An Introduction
by Shawn McLoughlin

Militza Natasha Jovovich was born to be a star. Her mother, Galina Jovovich, was a stage actress in her native Ukraine. The family moved to California when Milla was only five. At age 11, Milla decided to go into modeling. By the time she was 12, she was featured on the cover of Lei. At the time she unknowingly created something of a controversy – such a young model had rarely been used to sell cosmetics. However, modeling awarded Milla with exposure and opportunities. Opportunities she would take advantage of.

Women And Wardens:
The Best In WIP
by Shawn McLoughlin

Ahhh, women, prison, and film. Three great tastes that taste great together.

The Woman-In-Prison (WIP) genre is nothing new, but it certainly isn’t a genre that many in the mainstream recognize. There aren’t many award winners in the genre’s catalogue, but that doesn’t mean that there aren’t some great movies. And, if you’re willing to mine for gems in the rough, a few exceptional ones. WIP is a perfect example of a cult genre. This isn’t a genre that I am particularly experienced in, but I have seen quite a bit in my exploration of exploitation.
