I have been in love with Streets of Fire since I first rented the VHS when I was about 10. I have seen the movie many, many times of the years. I have owned the VHS, the DVD, Blu-ray and now the 4K Disc from Shout Factory. With each viewing I loved the…

Experiencing the evolution of Avatar in the public mind or at least in the cineaste community in the last 12 years or so years has been an interesting and puzzling to say the least. When I first saw Avatar on the big screen in 2009 I was…
Another rather mediocre Italian Zombie/Cannibal movie that is elevated by getting the 88Films 4K Deluxe Edition treatment. The movie is slow moving and it takes quite a while for things to get interesting and intense. But I did like the gore effects and the extensive nudity from Alexandra “The New York Ripper" Delli Colli. That was quite a treat in 4K.

The main reason why this largely works is the style of the movie and the dream/nightmare like atmosphere it creates. I especially like the cinematography, the set-design and the costumes here. Also, great use of lighting and colors. A bit of gore and plenty of nudity do the rest to make sure this one…
Rear Admiral: The end is inevitable, Maverick. Your kind is headed for extinction.
Maverick: Maybe so, sir. But not today.
After two years of delays Top Gun: Maverick pretty much feels like a film from a bygone era. In the sense that it actually looks and feels like a real movie. The original Top Gun is mostly known for its aviator sequences. But for me personally, they never stuck with me that much. I remember and liked (not loved) it…
“If it bleeds, we can kill it.” No wait, this movie does not deserve this quote. So let’s go with… “I’m smarter than a beaver...” There you go.
After watching the shitty trailer of Prey I had no desire of watching the movie itself. It looked like a poorly produced Predator vs. Disney princess movie to me. But then the reviews started coming in. Unbelievable action, hyper violent, great movie, just as good if not better than the original, is…
