Our friends in the Far East certainly know how to keep themselves entertained. While we (in the UK) are ‘treated’ to dull, bland, shows -- the Japanese have hilarious gameshows coming out their ears!
I was inspired to write this little article after reading of ‘The Stamp Show‘ in Cinema Sewer -- Vol. 1 (great...

Japanese Gameshows – Oh How I love You…
Angel of Death (2009) Review
Every decade has had its definitive action directors, and with the 00’s waning down, it’s time for action junkies look for the next big thing in slam-bang cinema. Unfortunately, it looks as if cgi based, bigger-than-life, product placement garbage is here to stay, at least in the mainstream. So imagine my surprise when a...

Body Parts (1991) Review
Once in a blue moon, when discussing movies with friends or cohorts, I resort to an old saying in order to do a particular film justice. I tell them that they just need to watch the film, and that saying anything would be giving them too much information and be a spoiler to the...

From Beyond (1986) REVIEW
From Beyond is another film from the golden decade of horror, but instead of trying to make a quick buck off of a preexisting trend, Stuart Gordon and frequent collaborator of Brian Yuzna (co-writer and producer) tapped into the works of influential and ground breaking author H.P. Lovecraft for some challenging material to bring...
