In 2012, Quentin Tarantino gave the world a crash
introduction to Django with his revenge western DjangoUnchained, but the character goes back much further than that.
Originally appearing in Sergio Corbucci’s 1966 spaghetti western,
Django, the film launched a legendary 100 unofficial
sequels—including Unchained. This number is obvious
hyperbole, but there are 30-something accounted for, which is a ton of badass
westerns. And we’re getting another one, with the original Django, and from an
Oscar-nominated filmmaker.

Bong Joon-Ho's Monster Movie 'Okja' Is Putting Together The Best Cast
Any time Bong Joon-ho makes a movie, it’s well worth getting
your panties in a bunch over. The guy is a goddamned hit
factory—Snowpiercer, Mother, The
Host. But when he makes a monster movie, one with an insanely great
cast, that’s the kind of thing that gets you dancing around the room in giddy
anticipation.

'The People Under The Stairs' Blu-Ray Review
It’s damn near impossible to accuse Scream Factory of not
giving it their all for ever single one of their releases, and such is the case
with their Collector’s Edition Blu-ray of Wes Craven’s 1991 horror flick
The People Under the Stairs. In the wake of the horror
director’s death, it’s admittedly rather difficult to write about the work of
the late horror master. Perhaps I watched too many of them at too young an age,
but his films had, and continue to have, a huge impact on my life and cinematic
tastes—his films are a big part of why I fell in love with cinema in the first
place.

'Bone Tomahawk' Trailer: Check Out Kurt Russell In A Cannibal Revenge Western
While I was less than enthused with Eli Roth’s latest
addition to the cannibal movie sweepstakes, The Green Inferno, there’s another on the way that I’m rather psyched to see.
Bone Tomahawk is a very different take on the subject
matter, trading in do-gooders being devoured by a jungle tribe for the
trappings of a grim revenge western. The movie recently premiered at Fantastic
Fest and now a new trailer has hit the airwaves.

The Final 'Spectre' Trailer Drops A Building On James Bond
Since I was a kid, I’ve wanted to be James Bond, and in 38 years, that hasn’t changed much, even though I’ve come to realize he’s a basically a sociopath. After Skyfall, I’m rather pumped up for Spectre, and with the release just over a month away, the final trailer for the world’s most well known spy is here for your perusal. Take a look below.

'The Martian' Movie Review
In recent days, getting excited over a Ridley Scott film has
become a dicey proposition. Exodus: Gods and Kings was just
terrible; The Counselor was meh to the highest degree, even
with that bonkers car-humping scene; and while I dig Prometheus
(despite myriad programs, it’s a gorgeous, moody film), it’s a hugely flawed
movie. Still, it's hard not to feel at least a twinge of glee when the guy
behind Alien and Blade Runner makes a
sci-fi movie, and his latest, The Martian, is a movie you
should be stoked about, and it ranks among the year's, and the director’s best.
