The Human Equation: Interview with David Sutcliffe from Cracked

Blu-ray Review: Body Double – Twilight Time Limited Edition
Boutique label Twilight Time recently added Brian De Palma’s 1984 cult fave Body Double to its lineup of limited edition Blu-ray releases. With only 3,000 copies available, it didn’t take long for the title to completely sell out. What all the fuss is about over this barely competent Hitchcock riff is beyond me, but secondary...

Blu-ray Review: Oblivion (2013)
Some movies are best approached with as little prior knowledge as possible. For anyone partial to either ponderous sci-fi or anything starring Tom Cruise, all you need to know in advance is that Oblivion falls into both those categories. It’s not action-oriented sci-fi, understand that before going in. Oblivion aspires to be more along the...
