Remington Party

Winona Ryder

"I brought you to a Remington party and what's my thanks? It's on a hallway carpet. I got paid in puke." - Heather Chandler, Heathers

While surfing the WWW I came across this fun find, a polaroid image BHS from one of my favorite movies: Heathers

I saw it in Los Angeles when it hit theaters in 1988. So I was ahead of the curve of the masses that would come to love and appreciate it over time.

Thus I gave it a watch again recently and it still holds up. The satire and dark humor are as razor sharp now as they were then.

Not to mention the terrific cast lead by Winona Ryder.

If you have yet to see it, get it!

12 Angry Men

"If you think great movies require spectacular scenery, nonlinear storytelling, or big action sequences, think again. For this week’s blistering cinematic masterpiece proves the opposite. A courtroom drama that doesn’t take place in a courtroom, “12 Angry Men” is set almost entirely in a single room unfolding in real time, forgoing spectacle in favor of relentless, start to finish edge-of-your-seat tension."

"Another Gay Sequel"

Breaking Glass Pictures proudly announces the re-release of the cult-favorite LGBTQ+ comedy Another Gay Sequel: Gays Gone Wild!, arriving March 3, 2026. Originally released in 2008, the outrageous and unapologetically queer sequel has secured its place in pop culture thanks to its fearless humor, stacked guest appearances, and vivid time-capsule snapshot of late-2000s gay nightlife, celebrity, and sex-positive storytelling.

“The gay community has evolved so much over the past twenty years,” says Rich Wolf of Breaking Glass Pictures, an executive producer on the film. “Another Gay Sequel: Gays Gone Wild! is a joyful reminder of a pre-Grindr, pre-influencer era—when a wild, party-fueled week at the beach was all about freedom, friendship, and the thrill of letting loose, and what happened there really did stay there.”

Written and directed by Todd Stephens and a follow-up to his 2006 film Another Gay Movie, Another Gay Sequel: Gays Gone Wild! reunites fan-favorite characters Andy, Nico, Jarod, and Griff, trading collegiate chaos for a sun-soaked Spring Break in Fort Lauderdale. What begins as a carefree vacation quickly spirals into a no-holds-barred competition dubbed “Gays Gone Wild!,” where the rules are simple: hook up with as many guys as possible over the course of Spring Break. The winner earns the coveted and completely ridiculous distinction of “Miss Gay Gone Wild.”

True to its title, Another Gay Sequel: Gays Gone Wild! doubles down on camp, comedy, and chaos. Andy (played by Jake Mosser), no longer the awkward underdog, finds himself effortlessly attracting attention, but is thrown off course when he unexpectedly falls for Luis (Euriamis Losada), a charming and handsome virgin who challenges Andy’s assumptions about love, intimacy, and emotional connection. Meanwhile, Nico’s (Jonah Blechman, who shared an on-screen kiss with Leonardo DiCaprio in This Boy’s Life) confidence is shaken when he struggles to attract anyone at all, escaping instead into an ongoing fantasy involving a shirtless merman played by adult film icon Brent Corrigan.

 

Jarod (Jimmy Clabots) and Griff (Aaron Michael Davies) face a different dilemma: now a committed couple, they must decide whether entering the contest together is worth the potential strain on their relationship. Adding to the madness is a hyper-competitive trio all named Jasper (played by Will Wikle, Brand Lim, and Isaac Webster) who will stop at nothing to rig the contest in their favor.

 

The film is also remembered for its over-the-top celebrity cameos, many of which feel even more iconic in retrospect. Another Gay Sequel features appearances by RuPaul, Scott Thompson (Kids in the Hall), RuPaul’s Drag Race star Willam Belli, and adult entertainment legends Michael Lucas and the late Colton Ford. A particularly notorious subplot involves gossip blogger Perez Hilton, who appears as himself in a surreal storyline that sees him suffer a head injury, transform into a fire-and-brimstone religious zealot bent on suppressing gay debauchery, and then, after another blow to the head, snap right back to form.

 

Upon its original release, Another Gay Sequel: Gays Gone Wild! found an enthusiastic audience that embraced its raunchy humor, unapologetic queerness, and refusal to sanitize gay sexuality for mainstream comfort. Over the years, the film has gained cult status, celebrated for capturing a specific moment in LGBTQ+ media when camp, controversy, and sex positivity collided without apology.

 

The 2026 re-release invites longtime fans to revisit the film and introduces a new generation to a boldly irreverent comedy that helped push queer cinema further into the mainstream by being loud, messy, and proudly itself.

 

Another Gay Sequel: Gays Gone Wild! will be available on all major streaming platforms on March 3.

Friday Feeling

With the release of Meghan 2.0 on June 27, 2025 drawing near she's popping up all over in ads and on billboards to remind us "I'm Still That B." 

Which is quite reassuring as the commercials lead one to believe that the AI android doll may have gotten soft in her temporary retirement.

I enjoyed the first incarnation of Meghan, looking forward to the second. Hey, if it's like the first it will be a fun time at the movies.

BTW Meghan "I'm Still That B." as well.

It's a Friday Feeling...enjoy your weekend!

Exact Revenge

Eureka Entertainment is proud to announce the release of EXACT REVENGE (The Eunuch & The Deadly Knives), two of Shaw Brothers Studio’s most compelling and underrated revenge tales, presented on Blu-ray for the first time anywhere in the world. Available as part of the Eureka Classics range on June 17, 2025 in North America. Presented in a Limited edition of 2000 copies exclusively featuring an O-card slipcase and collector’s booklet. 

Revenge is and has always been one of the most popular and prolific themes in Hong Kong cinema, from classic wuxia epics to kung fu movies and heroic bloodshed films. During the 1970s, Shaw Brothers Studio was the largest production company operating in Hong Kong and the king of the vengeance tale. Presented here are two of the studio’s most interesting and underrated takes on the revenge story: The Eunuch and The Deadly Knives (or Fists of Vengeance). 

A wuxia pian written by the legendary Lo Wei (Fist of Fury) and directed by Teddy Yip (The Black Tavern), The Eunuch begins as the eponymous eunuch Gui De-hai (Pai Ying, The Valiant Ones) survives an attempt on his life ordered by the Emperor (Lo Wei himself). After killing the Emperor and his family in cold blood, Gui notices that the Prince is missing – and sets out to complete his revenge mission. Then, Ching Li (Four Riders) and Ling Yun (Killer Clans) star in the kung fu film The Deadly Knives as young lovers Guan Yue-hua and Yan Zi-fei, whose relationship is tested when Yan’s family comes under threat by Japanese thugs led by Ogawa (Ching Miao, The Shadow Boxer). He becomes determined to avenge their honor – even if that means taking on Guan’s corrupt father. 

The Eunuch and The Deadly Knives were made just as the wuxia film was giving way to the kung fu movie in the wake of Bruce Lee’s international success and provide a fascinating insight into how the theme of revenge was retooled as one genre superseded another. Eureka Classics presents both films on Blu-ray for the first time anywhere in the world. 

Special Features:

• Limited edition of 2000 copies 

• Limited edition O-card slipcase featuring new artwork by Grégory Sacré (Gokaiju) 

• Limited edition collector’s booklet featuring new writing on both films in this set by
writer and film critic James Oliver and Jonathan Clements

• 1080p HD presentations of both films 

• Original Mandarin audio tracks 

• Optional English dub for The Deadly Knives 

• Optional English subtitles, newly revised for this release 

• New audio commentary on The Eunuch by action cinema experts Mike Leeder and Arne
Venema 

• New audio commentary on The Deadly Knives by Frank Djeng (NY Asian Film Festival)

Eating Miss Campbell

Troma Entertainment, the longest-running independent movie studio in North America, proudly celebrates the March 11th release of Eating Miss Campbell on Blu-ray. 

For over a half a century, Troma has produced and distributed cinematic masterpieces such as The Toxic Avenger, Sgt. Kabukiman N.Y.P.D., Class of Nuke 'Em High, Cannibal! The Musical, and Tromeo and Juliet. Now Troma founders Lloyd Kaufman and Michael Herz have a new movie to add to this impressive list: Eating Miss Campbell is a high school horror/comedy with a ravenous appetite for the grotesque.  

Beth Conner (Lyndsey Craine, Book of Monsters) is a vegan-goth introvert who attends an elite high school in England. She emerges from her shell when new teacher Miss Campbell (Lala Barlow) arrives on campus. Their affair triggers Beth to develop a new appetite. Let’s just say she’s definitely not a vegan anymore. The new Beth is eager to win the school’s celebrated “All You Can Eat Massacre” contest that has a very unique first prize. Can she devour everything to achieve her dream?   

Eating Miss Campbell turns a dark comic light on posh academia, cannibalism, school violence, child predators, alternate realities, horror movies, and Alec Baldwin. The movie is director Liam Regan’s follow up to My Bloody Banjo, and he brings an English sensibility to the attitude birthed in Tromaville, New Jersey. While not a sequel, Vito Trigo (Return to Nuke 'Em High), Lloyd Kaufman (President of Troma Entertainment and the creator of The Toxic Avenger), Dani Thompson (Video Shop Tales of Terror), and Laurence R. Harvey (The Human Centipede sequels) all reprise their roles from My Bloody Banjo.    

The bonus features include an Introduction from Lloyd Kaufman, audio commentary, a Making Of documentary, deleted scenes, outtakes, a Gore Reel, raw B-Roll, cast interviews, Frightfest Premiere, behind the scenes footage, VFX reel and trailers. 

“A hilarious, knives-out, balls-to-the-wall blood fest from beginning to end." - PopHorror  

4 stars out of 5! "It might just be one of the best high school cannibal movies ever to have been produced." - David Gelmini/Dread Central

A Simple Plan

SOMETIMES GOOD PEOPLE DO EVIL THINGS.

Working from an Academy Award-nominated screenplay by Scott B. Smith (adapting his own bestselling novel), director Sam Raimi swapped his trademark hyperkinetic horror for stark, bone-chilling tension in the expertly-crafted, critically-acclaimed thriller A Simple Plan.

Hank Mitchell (Bill Paxton) and his wife Sarah (Bridget Fonda) have big dreams and a baby on the way, but are stuck in the small Minnesota town where Hank grew up alongside his sweet but naive brother Jacob (Billy Bob Thornton, Oscar-nominated for Best Supporting Actor). One day while walking in the woods, Hank, Jacob, and Jacob's friend Lou (Brent Briscoe) discover a small plane buried in the snow, with a dead pilot inside... and a duffel bag containing over $4 million in cash. It's a once-in-a-lifetime chance to grasp the American dream in one fell swoop, if they can just keep it a secret - but Hank soon learns that keeping that secret will come at a terrible cost.

A bleak, heart-stopping morality play with allusions to Macbeth and The Treasure of the Sierra Madre (Raimi's favorite film), A Simple Plan returns in a brand new director-approved 4K remaster accompanied by new and exclusive bonus features.

Hold Back The Dawn

Let's give them something to talk about...

"When I became fascinated by “old movies” as a young boy, I’d try to see every film I could find featuring movie stars I loved, and that included Olivia de Havilland. In my quest to see more of Ms. de Havilland, I stumbled upon a rarely talked about treasure, “Hold Back the Dawn”. Packed with tantalizing characters, gripping conflicts, dynamic settings, and unexpected twists, I found this forgotten masterpiece so engrossing, it quickly became a favorite and remains a film I love. Wonderfully unique, it doesn't fit exactly into any one genre, for it contains melodrama, comedy, romance, intrigue, suspense, a road trip, and even a car chase perfectly sewn together in a very moving way. It's also a stellar example of how affecting great acting can be." - Jay Jacobson, Jay's Classic Movie Blog
