Charles Band and his Full Moon Pictures company knows exactly what they want to make and do a hell of a job doing so. I’ve never understood hate towards films like […]

Oh boy.

Who loves Joe Dante? Trick question: EVERYONE does. The legendary director cut his teeth editing trailers for Roger Corman, before doing an excellent job at transitioning into a director himself, helming such classics as PIRANHA, GREMLINS, THE HOWLING, THE BURBS and MATINEE just to name a few. While Dante’s last offering, THE HOLE didn’t exactly […]

I’ve always subscribed to the idea that film parodies only work when they’re played straight.
