The Most Empowering Scene from Deathstalker, the Sword and Sorcery and Nudity classic

Deathstalker is one of our favorite movies*, and it’s hard to pick just one moment to share from this fantasy cheesefest. We could have picked the scene where a swordswoman attacks Deathstalker and her friends in the middle of the night, wearing nothing but a cloak and a sort of loincloth thingy, so she’s swordfighting…

A Wailing Tribute To the Wah-Wah Pedal

From its humble beginnings as the Cry Baby pedal through its ubiquitous presence in porn soundtracks to the essential role it plays today in nearly any genre you can name, the wah-wah pedal deserves a little more recognition than it’s gotten historically. Until now, anyway. Because this hour-long homage to the electric guitar’s grooviest friend…

Why science fiction action movies need a little comic relief

The Marines vs. aliens war story that is Battle: Los Angeles may not be a modern classic, but it does do one thing that’s unusual (even admirable) for action movies, particularly scifi action movies: it takes its premise absolutely seriously. Now, make no mistake: Battle: Los Angeles is not a great movie. But the movie’s…

Enter the Void = a DMT-fueled journey through a kaleidoscopic Tokyo

Gaspar Noé’s Enter the Void is a complex and challenging synesthesic roller-coaster ride that combines New Age cosmic fatalism, old-school psychedelia and state of the art digital film making to produce a masterpiece of modern nihilism. It is a tale told by a genius, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing. The film, which came…

According to the new Conan the Barbarian trailer, smoke is what’s best in life

Here’s the new teaser trailer for Conan the Barbarian — it’s low on Hyborean hijinks but high on the haze of war. By Crom, we hope that the next trailer will have antics on par with James Earl Jones turning into a snake, Arnold Schwarzenegger pushing a wheel for a decade, reptile-worshipping hippies, or that…

Red Riding Hood, a film about a werewolf, comes out today. Werewolves live as humans, only turning into wolves on the night of the full moon. They’re strong, vicious, and they can only be killed by silver. But why silver? So, we’re not into the supernatural here. As the great Pythons have showed us, there…

The Smurfs trailer will make you smurf in your mouth

The brand new Smurfs trailer is horrifying as hell. See what the cartoon cat Azrael will look like in real life. Or sneak a look at a Smurfette upskirt! It’s all pretty horrific, so enjoy!

Behind-the-scenes footage shows how Mars Needs Mom’s motion capture crawled out of the Uncanny Valley

Disney may have burned out our earlobes with the horrific Mars Needs Moms rap, but this behind the scenes Mo-Cap adventure between Seth Green and Dan Fogler is gosh-darn adorable, and pretty impressive. Watch. The funny thing about watching this video, which was filmed years ago, is that after spending days pantomiming the actions of…

We love Netflix streaming more than some of our own family members, and it does have a pretty great catalog—but what about smaller films? More artsy films made by Swedish teenagers, depicting a single rose as it blossoms and slowly shrivels (metaphor for the global recession, duh!)? If you’re looking for some of the terrific…
