Once Upon A Time In America

Once Upon A Time In America Movies that take on the guise of having an almost hallucinatory, dreamlike state probably wouldn’t catch on too well with today’s ADHD audiences who can only take in so much and usually only if it’s all spoonfed to them a little bit at a time, but way back when […]

Once Upon A Time In The West

One Dark Night

One Dark Night A long-lost (and thought to be destroyed) horror flick of the early 80s now somewhat restored and released on DVD, has got to be one of the weakest examples of the genre imaginable. You know you’re in trouble when the main villain is not even played by an ACTOR, but instead by […]

Out Of The Dark

Out Of The Dark Back in the 80s, a LOT of low-budget filmmakers tried to do their version of the All-American slasher film, and most of them failed because of a pretentious attitude and / or they didn’t have the balls to push the genre as far as it could go. Thankfully, this 1989 entry […]

Outsiders

Outsiders Ensemble films featuring a cast of unknowns for which all or most of them went on to become major stars (and Hollywood players) are almost always fondly remembered, although they can be few and far between (American Graffiti, Fast Times) while other films that are openly acknowledged as being classics still saw their cast […]

Oz: The Great And Powerful

Oz: The Great And Powerful The 1939 film adaptation of L. Frank Baum’s The Wonderful Wizard Of Oz (otherwise known as The Wizard Of Oz) remains arguably the most popular and iconic movie ever made to this day, so much so that the joke is still on the literary legacy of Baum himself, since he […]
