AMERICAN SKIN: Nate Parker Arrests Social Injustice In The Official Trailer

Lee B. Golden III

It’s fitting that after an affair like the Cannes Grand Prize-winning BlacKkKlansman that Spike Lee would attach his name to actor, writer and director Nate Parker’s latest pic, American Skin. The product of Parker’s own inspiration to cast a resounding light on some of today’s important issues through film, The Birth Of A Nation now precedes Parker’s sophomore offering at the helm here following his travels to Missouri in 2014 in the wake of the murder of Michael Brown. “The most tragic moment of this trip arrived when I stood downtown between two infuriated groups of citizens.” he said. “From one side came yells of ‘Justice for Mike Brown’ and on the other ‘Support Our Police’. It became clear to me, instantly, the disconnect in our understanding of citizenship, law enforcement, and our responsibility to preserve American life.” That brings us to American Skin, a new crime drama with a […]

Lee B. Golden III

Cutting edge cult cinema streamer, ARROW, is making headway this month announcing its December line-ups and title release plans well into the new year, starting with the December 1 release of Patrick Picard’s slow-burner horror thriller debut, The Bloodhound. Picard writes and directs this, his feature debut billed as “a hauntingly atmospheric tale”, freshly inspired by Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Fall of the House of Usher”.

VERSUS Trailer: Re-Live The ‘Ultimate’ Legendary Japanese Action Horror Thriller On Blu-Ray This December

Lee B. Golden III

The zeitgeist of the last twenty years with Asian cinema has been a purely awesome and memorable era to be a part of, and it’s all thanks in part to Ryuhei Kitamura whose 2000 action horror, Versus, helped pave the way for my own fandom apart from Hollywood’s own investments, the “Hong Kong crossover” included. Versus is a film that brings me back to a time when all the money I would ever have to spent would end up at the most convenient Suncoast outlet during my errands from 34th st. and Herald Square when the mall I’d routinely visit was still called the Manhattan Mall. Like with Steve Wang’s Drive and its “director’s cut”, that particular DVD store is one of three reasons why I allowed myself to have multiple copies of Versus – the others being CD Japan, YesAsia and the currently-defunct HKFlix. To be honest though, were […]

Now On Tubi: Wilson Yip’s PARADOX Chews Through A Louis Koo Vengeance Story With Blistering Thrills And Grit

Lee B. Golden III

It’s been several years since the announcement of a third chapter in the Sha Po Lang crime saga with S.P.L.: War Needs Lord. At least tentatively though, the closest we have here is Wilson Yip’s 2017 neo-noir action crime thriller, Paradox, billed as more of a tangible side story apart from the two previous installments, S.P.L., and S.P.L. 2: A Time For Consequences. Casting Louis Koo for the role of Lee, a dauntless Hong Kong cop on a mission to search for his missing daughter in the Thai city of Pattaya, the film also stars Wu Yue, Gordon Lam, Tony Jaa and Chris Collins along with Hanna Chan, Vitthaya Pansringarm and Ken Lo, with a script by Jill Leung and Nick Cheuk. Much like its two predecessors, the non-canonical Paradox takes its inspiration from the the three stars of Chinese astrology. Koo is in fine form as Lee, an imperfect […]

Your Next Viewing: TRAIN TO BUSAN PRESENTS: PENINSULA

Christina Ortega

Ah, zombies. A staple of any horror fans diet. The fun thing about zombies is the range: they can be slow and steady, fast and violent, but no matter the kind of zombie, they are always entertaining. Our friends at Well Go USA gifted me with a copy of Train to Busan Presents: Peninsula before its official release and it is a much welcome addition to my zombie movie collection. What’s that? You haven’t seen Train to Busan? No worries. Although Train to Busan Presents: Peninsula is marketed as a sequel and references the zombie outbreak that began in the first film, there are no mentions of the previous films characters; it is actually considered to be a stand alone film. Taking place four years after the zombie virus has spread throughout South Korea, Train to Busan Presents: Peninsula follows people in Hong Kong as they try to survive while […]

BARNEY BURMAN’S WILD BOAR Scares Up A Thanksgiving Release On Amazon Prime

Lee B. Golden III

To say that Barney Burman has outdone himself in all of his thirty-six year film career might be an understatement, having just taken to his first feature production, Barney Burman’s Wild Boar following his 2019 Wild Boar short film.

Now On Tubi: SHE NEVER DIED Brings Appetizing Horror With A Vengeance And Biblical Intrigue

Lee B. Golden III

If you’re an action/horror fan or a bibliologist with a penchant for genre cinema viewing, there’s a good chance Jason Krawczyk’s He Never Died might have crossed your path in the last six years. Provided that you’ve seen it by now, you’ll have familiarized yourself in prep for the latest chapter currently available on Tubi with She Never Died, helmed by Audrey Cummings. Written by Krawczyk and originally planned as a miniseries before deciding to move onward to feature fruition, Cummigs directs her third outing returning audiences to a world where fallen angels are left to suffer among mankind, unable to die and forced to live out their lives on otherworldly diets that prominently thrive on human flesh. Such is how the homeless Lacey (Oluniké Adeliyi) bites her time while hunting for specific humans with fellow street cohort, Joe (Bill MacDonald). Fastidious with her appetite for fingers, Lacey’s latest craving […]
