DVD Verdict: Daryl Loomis

Citizen Hearst

2013-05-18

Quote: "This supposed documentary is less a revelation about the man and the history of his empire than it is an overt, pathetic advertisement for the Hearst Corporation and its subsidiaries."

Rentadick

Quote: "Some of the most mind numbing 90 minutes I've ever spent."

Rolling Thunder (1977) (Blu-ray)

2013-05-13

Quote: "A powerful piece of revenge cinema."

Empire of Silver

2013-05-09

Quote: "With the romance, the war, and the financial issues, Empire of Silver has enough going on for at least another production, so it's too bad that director Christina Yao, in her first feature film, couldn't focus on one or two of these threads."

Grand Duel (1972)

2013-05-09

Quote: "With its heavy load of violence, good humor, and the greatness that is Lee Van Cleef (For a Few Dollars More), it's the best late era entry I know of and, certainly, one of the most underappreciated in the genre."

Body Melt

2013-05-08

Quote: "Disturbed, disgusting, and hilarious, it's the kind of 'splatstick' that fans rarely get the chance to see anymore."

It's in the Blood

2013-05-08

Quote: "With the strong performances and some pretty decent special effects (including one gruesome amputation scene), It's in the Blood is by no means a complete failure."

Jacob (Blu-ray)

2013-05-03

Quote: "When even Michael Biehn comes off looking bad, you know you have a problem."

Night of the Hunted (Blu-ray)

2013-05-03

Quote: "Night of the Hunted is certainly not one of Jean Rollin's best efforts, but the cold paranoia makes it is one of his most interesting."

The Grapes of Death (Blu-ray)

2013-04-28

Quote: "Wonky continuity and occasional focus problems aside, The Grapes of Death is the best non-vampire movie Jean Rollin ever made."
