SLEEPWALKERS is a blast of energetic 80's style creature feature - that came out in 1992. Tanya (Madchen Amick of TWIN PEAKS fame) has a meet-cute with the new boy in school Charlie (Charles Brady), but little does Tanya know that Charlie is a shape-shifting monster...
I Barely Survived All (Eight) Evil Bong Films
There are eight EVIL BONG movies. Let that sink in for a moment. Out there in the world, there was enough interest to generate eight ‘feature length’ motion pictures about a 'sassy' talking bong. How? To find the answer, I sat down with friend Andrew Barr, of ANDREW...

Cancon Fun: Ryan’s Babe (2000)
It bums me out when someone says "Oh dude, that movie is worse than THE ROOM!" It's a smug comparison that straightjackets and cheapens offbeat slices of cinema. What about the works of The Kuchar Brothers? The passionate visions of Ed Wood? Can't we all think...
Watch This: The Soldier (1982)
The Soldier is a John le Carré style cold-war spy story shot as a mood thick procedural punctuated by moments of hyper-violence (Featuring James Bond). It's as if Soderbergh made an action film in the early eighties and Sam Peckinpah shot the second unit. For a long...
