It’s ironic that a guy who got his start in filmmaking working for penny-pinching producer Roger Corman has gone on to make the most expensive movies of all time. Then again, nothing about James Cameron’s life is conventional, as you’ll witness several times over in his warts-and-all biography, penned by TIME journalist Rebecca Keegan. Lucky for [...]

By the Holy circumcised foreskin of baby Jesus! What in the name of all that is creepy and filmed by Roger Corman is this? Larvae hatching and butterflies flying in space? If I were an astronaut, I'd be freaking out. For the first time in history, butterfly larvae—who were only six days old at launch time—have hatched in space. It happened on November 10, 2009, as part of the STS-129 "...

Some of the most fun monster movies are the ones that make you laugh instead of scream. In the 1940s and ’50s, Abbott and Costello rode such a formula to a box-office bonanza, and this past decade, Anna Faris became a star on the strength of four SCARY MOVIEs. All those and nearly everything in [...]

Roger Corman's output through the years may not be immediately familiar, but he's been a wide conduit for emerging talent and raw creativity. That's why he's finally been given an Oscar "OK, so, November 14th 2009, Roger Corman receives an Oscar. People … what took you so long?" The words of Jonathan Demme in his speech before handing over the statuette to Corman on that fateful evening....

Presenting the second in a series of probing debates on the least controversial issues of our time. For this installment of Point/Otherpoint, Jason Hinklin-Lauderdale and Scott Lydon come to verbal blows over a beloved Thanksgiving tradition. No, not canned cranberry sauce.

MYSTERY SCIENCE THEATER 3000 is one of those cult TV shows that really doesn’t need a review. Fans love it and will buy volumes without even looking at what is on it. For them, I am happy to say that VOLUME XVI is another very nice set from Shout! Factory. This is a 4 DVD set. It is housed with a collectible Tom Servo figurine, everyone’s favorite robot made from a bubblegum machine. There...

Frankenstenia is celebrating the life and career of one of my favorite actors next week with The Boris Karloff Blogathon taking place Nov. 23-29th. I didn’t sign-up to participate because I couldn’t commit to anything. My current blogging schedule is sporadic and a bit crazy because at the moment most of my attention is focused [...]

This is a peripheral Matt Drudge-like posting and I'm sorry, but as soon as I heard the term "dino-chickens" I was hooked. In my entire life I've never heard this term, and I'm speaking as a guy who once wrote a Roger Corman- or George Pal-type script called Killer Chickens. The size of ostriches, out for blood, looking to settle a score with humans...screaming overall-clad victims being...

Sergio Leone and the Infield Fly Rule celebrates it’s fifth birthday today in high style. Like many in the film blogosphere, I owe a lot to the cite’s proprietor and sole contributor, Dennis Cozzalio, for his support and encouragement when pretty much no one was paying attention. And the weird part came when we both figured [...]

War-Gods of the Deep is a pretty misleading title, but then, almost everything about this movie is misleading. It has some really awesome parts, but there's also a fair bit of disappointment. For one thing, there are no war-gods. In fact, there's no war. That part of the title is apparently meant to disguise for US audiences that this is a British adaptation of Edgar Allen Poe's "The City Under...
