Trailer War (Blu-ray)

2013-01-04

Reviewed by Erich Asperschlager
Quote: "The forty-plus films represented here might not make up an AFI list of best anything, but these tantalizing shorts are wildly entertaining in two to three minute bursts."

42nd Street Forever (Blu-ray)

2012-06-01

Reviewed by Patrick Bromley
Quote: "If you are a fan of exploitation films, then Synapse's new 42nd Street Forever (Blu-ray) is like crack -- a thick shot of grindhouse glee delivered straight into your brain."

The Slams

Lethal Ladies Collection

2011-11-04

Death Journey

Black Hollywood

2009-06-17

Reviewed by Jennifer Malkowski
