There’s something to be said about Universal’s Classic Movie Monsters… I just don’t know what it is exactly. No, really. I’m a huge fan of those silver-screen aged gems (particularly Frankenstein, in all of his incarnations), but it’s tough to define exactly why these icons have persisted long after their creators lifetime. I’m not the […]

Some of the DVD/Blu-Ray releases this week. Piranha 3DD – I mentioned this movie back in May as it apparently streamed On-Demand the same day it was released in theaters. I enjoyed the first one for what it was, which was schlocky, fun and gory. This also looks fairly entertaining. I’m definitely giving it a […]
