American Horror Story Double Feature Delves Into New Motherhood Nightmares In ‘Gaslight’

New DVD release, , , , , ,
This American Horror Story: Double Feature review contains spoilers. American Horror Story Season 10 Episode 5 As the story picks up steam, American Horror Story taps into some pretty classic horror tropes yet again to enrich its story. One of the things that initially caught my eye about the series when it first hit the airwaves ten years ago was the way in which the show was clearly written by horror fans and went out of its way to reward horror fans with little Easter eggs. Maybe it’s a shot from a classic movie. Maybe it’s a snippet of a…

New DVD release, , , , , ,
This American Horror Story: Double Feature review contains spoilers. American Horror Story Season 10 Episode 4 The Red Tide portion of American Horror Story: Double Feature asks a few simple questions. What would you do if you could suddenly tap into the limitless potential of your talent? What would you trade to be able to live out your dream, be it singing, dancing, writing, or art? For some people, the answer to that would be just about anything, including taking a pill and occasionally turning another human into one of the show’s titular blood buffets. They’re willing to risk any…

American Horror Story: Double Feature Tackles Pill-Popping, Blood-Sucking Addiction

New DVD release, , , , , ,
This American Horror Story: Double Feature review contains spoilers. American Horror Story Season 10 Episode 3 One of my favorite things about American Horror Story has been the fact that if something isn’t particularly working for me, be it a character or a setting, I know that in a few episodes, it’ll be gone. Such is the nature of the seasonal anthology; if something isn’t working for you, check out for ten episodes and when you come back next season, it’ll be something completely different in tone, setting, and content, even if there’ll be members of the cast crossing over…

Smokey and the Bandit TV Series Looks to Revive the Drive-In Double Feature Genre

New DVD release, , , , , ,
Smokey and the Bandit, the 1977 comedy classic that cemented the superstardom of the late Burt Reynolds, will soon make an audacious attempt to smuggle itself back into the pop culture picture, with a television series now in the works at Universal Content Productions. David Gordon Green (Halloween, The Righteous Gemstones) has been tapped to develop, write, executive-produce and direct the prospective pilot for a new small screen take on the Southern, car-chase-centric, antihero-hailing Universal film franchise on behalf of studio subsidiary UCP. Green will write alongside Brian Sides, a frequent collaborator of Green’s who also directs and produces documentary…

How Double Dragon’s Abobo Became a Beat em up Legend

New DVD release, , , ,
In the late ’80s, video games started featuring over-the-top, meaty musclemen. Metro City had Mike Haggar, a shirtless former wrestler who became mayor and decided that being “tough on crime” meant ridding the streets of criminals with his bare hands, his girlfriend’s psycho boyfriend, and a ninja in Nikes. Circus strongman Karnov scoured the world for adventure and treasure, fighting all kinds of mythical monsters. Bald Bull was trying to dominate both the boxing ring and the arm-wrestling circuit. Gutsman was a jacked construction robot who was later rebuilt as a 40-foot-tall tank centaur. And then there was Abobo, the…

Double World Review: Kung Fu Eye Candy for Pandemic Comfort Food

Netflix, New DVD release, , , , ,
Like so many 2020 films, Double World was slated for a major theatrical release this summer. But due to the pandemic, it has become one of the first big films to jump online in some hopes of recouping its costs. It’s a shame because Double World is the kind of film that was made for the big screen. It opens a spectacular new fantasy world, brimming with ravishing visuals. Haven’t heard of it?  Don’t feel bad. It’s from China. Had 2020 gone as planned, Double World might have had a limited North American theatrical release at best, but now we…

Charlize Theron Recalls Sexist Double Standards in The Italian Job and 2000s Hollywood

New DVD release, , , , , ,
There are few bigger names in the action genre right now than Charlize Theron. An Oscar winner with an eclectic career that’s spanned genres and multiple decades, Theron is the rare dramatic actor who can slip into a role of action hero (or anti-hero) so well that when she originates a character, it often becomes iconic. Just consider how folks still talk about Furiosa in Mad Max: Fury Road five years later, and why The Old Guard is Netflix’s biggest movie of the summer. However, this was not always the case. As Theron was quick to point out during her…
