Night of the Animated Dead – Blu ray Review
Night of the Animated Dead is an animated remake of George Romero’s classic, Night of the Living Dead; we check out the new blu ray. As I gear up for Shocktober, my annual total immersion in horror movies through the month of October, I got a screener for a real curiosity — Night of the…

Riversleem – A Debut Release
A Debut Release, the um…debut release from Riversleem slays; they hope you’ll grab it and donate what you would have paid to Prairie Harm Reduction.

9/11: One Day in America
We’ve seen a lot of books, specials, films, and documentaries about September 11th, 2001, but 9/11: One Day in America proves there’s more to see. Two decades later it’s easy to be numb to an event that ushered in new ages of surveillance, war, and fear. Thinking about September 11TH, 2001 is almost impossible without…

The Card Counter
Paul Schrader is back, with a brilliantly haunting character study about a war criminal turned poker player who can’t find redemption in The Card Counter.
