‘The Beach House’ is absolutely one of my favorite horror films of the year, so I was thrilled to get a chance to hop of the phone with director/writer Jeffrey A. Brown to discuss how this excellent piece of small-budget terror came to be.
Director John Strysik’s 1995 feature ‘The Spirit Gallery’ is a hallucinatory shot-on-video oddity which manages to take a familiar plot and turn it into something special.
‘Toni Erdmann’ is funny, unpredictable, and delectable throughout its entirety. It is with no small amount of anger, however, that I must report that Blu-ray edition is being released only as “Manufactured on Demand.”
Vinegar Syndrome’s DVD release of the 1969 Nazisploitation/sexploitation flick The Cut-Throats — limited to 1,500 copies — is a very basic one. It has a 2k restoration, along with the original trailer, and that’s about it.
Generation War provides a German perspective on the events of World War II through the eyes of five young people who experience the war in profoundly different ways.
Scalene, the feature debut for director Zack Parker, is a genre bending film that is part psychological mystery, part character drama and stars Hannah Hall and Margo Martindale.
If you see This Means War in the rental store or online, remember This Means Rent Something Else.
‘Jack and Jill’ might have been silly fun, like so many of Sandler’s films. Instead it will just leave you pondering how it all went so wrong.
‘Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory’ has been re-issued on home video again, this time in a three-Disc 40th Anniversary Collector’s Edition. Is it worth it?

This Blu-ray review of “Battle: Los Angeles” and “Tigerland” appears on KTKA-49. “Battle: Los Angeles,” released in theaters earlier this spring and “Tigerland,” a Vietnam-era movie from the year 2000, are both new out on DVD and Blu-ray. At first glance, the only thing they have in common is that they’re both war movies. Granted, […]
The Tourist DVD Blu-ray Review: The stars’ vacation videos are probably more interesting than this poorly handled mistaken-identity caper.
Here’s my review of the Blu-ray/DVD combo packs of “Hereafter” and “The Fighter” from KTKA-49. Out on a DVD/Blu-ray combo pack this week is Clint Eastwood‘s afterlife drama “Hereafter,” starring Matt Damon as a psychic whose ability to read other people’s thoughts leaves him cut off from the world. His and two other stories concerning […]
KTKA film critic Eric Melin reviews Love and Other Drugs and Four Lions on DVD and Blu-ray.
This DVD review was originally aired on KTKA-49. Two movies that you may have missed in the theaters make their debut on DVD and Blu-ray this week. Starring Andrew Garfield of “The Social Network,” the downbeat sci-fi drama “Never Let Me Go” proves to be just as fascinating on the small screen. Kiera Knightley and […]
