Something was different when “Goldeneye” was on the verge of release. [It] felt fresh and exciting in a way that the series never had to me before that point and I couldn’t wait to see it.

Our resident video clerk, Patrick Bartlett, is back with another look at the vampire cult classic “Near Dark”!

Whenever I admit that my favorite Christmas movie is “Gremlins”, people lose their minds …

…Part of the discussion that’s existed since the release of Fury Road is people declaring it the best Mad Max movie or arguing whether it or “Mad Max 2” (aka “The Road Warrior” here in the U.S.) is the best Mad Max film. To me, that’s all wrong. As far as I’m concerned, the original “Mad Max” is the best of the series and it’s not even close.

One of the most memorable lines in the 1998 action/horror hybrid “Blade” is one where the title character, played by Wesley Snipes, is asked if he’s a vampire. He replies no he isn’t, he’s something else entirely. That’s obviously a cool line that sets up the character of Blade, along with his relationship to the world around him… but it’s also a pretty good summation of the film itself.
