    Fast Charlie (Amazon) Movie Review

    The Amityville Horror 4K Blu-ray Review

    by Mark Costello
    The Amityville Horror 4K Blu-ray Review
    Never have the words ‘Based on a True Story’ had such a profound effect on a generation…and never have they been such a lie, with the controversy around Stuart Rosenberg’s seminal haunted house classic proving to be almost as interesting as the story of the Lutz Family themselves.

    Drive-Away Dolls Movie Review

    by Cas Harlow
    Drive-Away Dolls Movie Review
    Shooting for Bottoms meets Pulp Fiction, this cheap, tonally awry, distinctly un-funny, try-hard, sack-full-of-dildos romp utterly misfires, clearly coming from the wrong solo Coen Brother, and both awkwardly and shamelessly wasting the talents of a couple of good actresses.
