I have to admit that I've spent a few late nights back in the 80's watching this on VHS. This was the height of the joystick era where arcades were not only popular but still a quarter and a home wasn't complete without a game console. I was into any film that showcased computers, arcades and teens getting into trouble.

The Thing!
One of my favorite movies of all time that I've spent a countless number of late nights watching on VHS, Cinemax and HBO is John Carpenter's The Thing. Well it looks like it's getting a remake (like everything else) but they've done a great job with designing the new poster for it which actually has a classic and similar feel to the original. Hopefully the film will be just as classic. Here's the original Trailer, old poster and new one.

Machete Maidens Unleashed
New Documentary being released the end of this month, looks worthy of a purchase!
Werewolves on Wheels (1971)
I've been seeing this trailer for an insane amount of years but have never owned (until recently)or watched this movie. Since I've been in the mood to watch flix that I haven't seen yet I think I'll throw this in the deck tonight and check it out.
One Bad Brotha
In anticipation of the upcoming Soul Flexin' Party that I'll be DJing in San Diego in a few weeks I've decided that I will be in Jim Kelly Mode mode for a minute.

"Shaft" Sticks It To The Man!
This week marks a very important one in black cinema history, 40 years ago Richard Roundtree played the leading role as John Shaft in the film Shaft. The film did so well at the box office that it spawned two films after that, Shaft's Big Score and Shaft in Africa.

One Great Sleuth
One of the greatest sleuth's (Detective for you non mystery types) and television icon has passed away today, Pete Falk aka Columbo. Columbo was one of my favorite detective shows of all time that I used to watch as a kid. He was always snooping around, being a problem and always barking up the wrong tree but he always solved the case. He wasn't a clean cut Magnum P.I. type of guy but more of the wrinkled care free cigar smoking detective with a very unforgettable personality.
