Inferno – Making of the Expendables
Posted on May 21, 2015 | No CommentsWhere does it come from: I believe it was an extra on some release – I do not know which, but it has its own IMDB page and was produced […] -
The Good, The Bad and The Ugly
Posted on May 9, 2015 | No CommentsThis review is a discursive plug for Alex Cox’s book, 10,000 Ways to Die. Cox synopsizes just about every Spaghetti Western ever made. His estimations of the films themselves, though, are […] -

Near Dark
Posted on September 14, 2014 | No CommentsNear Dark is a vampire Western. The first hour shows a farmhand’s seduction by, and ‘nitiation into, a roving, nocturnal gang of sh*t-kickers who happen to be bloodsuckers. In the movie’s […] -
Blue Velvet
Posted on June 1, 2014 | No CommentsBlue Velvet is arguably David Lynch’s best film. Much is said about the film’s “aboutness”: It is a willfully weird Hardy Boys mystery about sexual awakening—a dry cartoon about the rot beneath the […] -
The Evil Dead (1981)
Posted on April 27, 2014 | No CommentsSeparating the movie The Evil Dead from the phenomenon of Sam Raimi’s early career, of Bruce Campbell’s genre-stardom, of the whole story of the production of the film, is nearly impossible. […]
