The next recommendation from the Great Movies – 100 Years of Film book for my viewing of Rififi is this classic Kubrick film, which before today, I’d only heard of and never seen. That being said, I can now say I’ve seen and enjoyed it, and love the way the film shuffles back and…

Issues Vol. 12a
Kirk is on well-earned vacation with his family this week, but the comics at West End Comics keep on coming! So it was with great excitement that I dug into this week’s pull list, though it was rather smaller than my usual haul, it was still food with great stuff!! Escape From New York (Boom…
Batman & Robin (1997) – Joel Shumacher
Ugh, and you thought Quest for Peace was bad. My time with the Dark Knight hits an all time low as my journey with the Sci-Fi Chronicles book continues. This is, quite possibly, the singular worst movie in the entire history of superhero films, and the fault all rests squarely on director Joel Schumacher’s…
Mad Max: Fury Road (2015) – George Miller
It’s been 30 years since Max wandered into the sunset after Thunderdome, but director George Miller shows that the character, now played by Tom Hardy, is still at home on the big screen. And while factoring in Hardy’s age and portrayal, he is definitely not the character 30 years older than when we last…
Theorem (1968) – Pier Paolo Pasolini

Septic Man (2013) – Jesse Thomas Cook
Also releasing from Anchor Bay on DVD today is this film that screened at Toronto After Dark last year, and was one of the titles I missed. It will undoubtedly garner a cult following, but I was left unaffected I’m sad to say. After the initial, so incredibly gross that it verges on the funny…
Filth (2013) – Jon S. Baird
Releasing on DVD and Blu-Ray today is this adaptation of Irvine Welsh’s novel, and gives James McAvoy an opportunity to tear up the screen with a brilliant performance. He plays Bruce, a police officer in Scotland, who is a hard ass, a cynic, a bit of a racist, and fits right in with the…
Escape From Tomorrow (2013) – Randy Moore
I wanted to see this one as soon as I heard about it. I heard how it was put together, using a pair of Canon 5Ds, they shot this film guerrilla style in Disney World and Disneyland. Now yes, there is copyright infringement all over this film, and it’s truly a wonder that Disney…
