Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter (Special Edition DVD)
Phil Caracas, Murielle Varhelyi

Eclectic DVD Dist., 2003

Funky Hilarious Sacrilegious

+ Maria Moulton is SMOKIN HOT
+ Jesus Christ kicks vampire tail

As a religious person, I can truly say that this is movie is sacrilegious, and that at one point in this B-movie my mouth dropped open during the music. However, if you're not the kind of person who flings him or herself into an angry rage when your religion is slightly made fun of, then you, like ...
  
  











  



  
Four of the Apocalypse
Harry Baird, Lynne Frederick

Blue Underground, 2007

Late Spaghetti Western Masterpiece from Horror legend, Lucio Fulci

+ A Surprising Sentimental Moment for Fulci!!!
+ I Felt Their Pain; Their Loss Was My Loss

This being a Lucio Fulci movie, i obviously expected to see a ton of graphic violence and i did, but he didn't offer just some cool bloody western with this film. Actually it was much more than just that. The film was brutal, it was sad, it was beautiful. It had some many excellent moments all ...

Paperhouse
Charlotte Burke, Jane Bertish

Vestron, 1990

Do not read MS Roberts' review.

+ It's the best, but not all will love it.
+ Odd but strangely watchable

If you have not watched this movie yet, do not read the review written by M.S. Roberts below. It is full of spoilers and gives no warning. These kind of reviews are careless and, in this case, can ruin certain elements of a movie. Paperhouse is an excellent little fantasy/horror film that most ...
  
  











  



  
Home Movie
Linda Beech, Frances Mooney

Merchant Ivory, 2003

...and about the Judas Priest documentary

+ We're All A Little Quirky...

The Judas Priest documentary the other reviewer mentioned is Heavy Metal Parking Lot by Jeff Krulik. It's not available on Amazon, or any mass market vendor, unfortunately, but you can read about it, and about his other films, at his website. (Google 'Krulik') I recommend the 'Krulik and Friends' ...
  
  











  



  
Music of Chance
James Spader, Mandy Patinkin

Sony Pictures, 1995

no title

+ Give This Movie A Chance
+ You all might think I'm fulla beans, but here goes....,

I simply can't imagine why this terrific film is not available on DVD. If you like James Spader, and watch "Boston Legal", here is a chance to see him early on. This was one very, very, VERY strange film, with Spader and Mandy Patinkin, among others. "Darkly funny" many critics said; and it was ...
