Takashi Miike may not be an expert when it comes to entomology, but he knows how to make the most of an unusual premise. With that in mind, I would describe this as Miike lite, which isn't a bad thing because while he is known for his depictions of sexual deviancy and extreme violence, a..

While I haven't dabbled in paranormal research myself, I was into Masafumi's quest for the truth behind the supernatural occurrences. As such, I felt as though I was observing his sphere of influence. Conversations about ectoplasmic worms, depictions of demonic possession, and the disappearances of locals -- I didn't expect those to have such attentiveness,..
Read moreDragon Princess (1976)
Fast, furious, and permeated by a devil-may-care attitude. Those are terms I would use to describe this humdinger of a chopsocky flick. That said, the sheer amount of fighting prowess is such that you'd be hard-pressed not to be in awe of it. Sure, the story takes a back seat as a result, but what..
Read moreAre we truly ever alone when we travel?
As a solo traveller on a majority of my trips, I ask myself this question every time I go anywhere. I may not have a consistent travel partner every time, but there is one consistent event that always happens every time I travel. That is meeting people, whether it be locals or other travellers from..
Read moreDeath Nurse (1987)
Nurse Mortley may be portly, but that doesn't stop her from satisfying her bloodlust. She's cooped up in the clinic all day, so I can't say I blame her. After all, she's just doing her job, even if her penchant for malpractice sticks out like a sore thumb. I'm glad to know that she doesn't..

In this episode James and I go over what may be Tia Carrere's first movie, Zombie Nightmare. It also "stars" Adam West doing his best Shatner impersonation and a coroner who does a great poor mans Columbo impersanation. Enjoy!

In January, our friend JetLaggedJaff was able to visit this amazing world heritage site, and share his thoughts on..
Read moreThe Killing Kind (1973)
The first thing that comes to mind after viewing this is that trauma sure has a way of rearing its ugly head. Since it is heavily focused upon, it makes for quite the downward spiral of Terry's psychological state, and so there is a exchange between pleasant interactions and violent outbursts. The latter serves as..

All Time Low has been around a long time, I mean a long time almost 20 years now and were one of the main driving forces behind the pop punk revival in the mid 2000’s...when music was still good but I digress. While some have always complained that pop punk bands never change, I find..

While there is less stability around us right now, for some more than others, there are a few things that always help us feel better, movies, music, TV shows, porn etc. Usually it’s the items that make us feel nostalgic that help us through the tough times, so it’s always good when a band from..
