Spend enough time charting the corners of any subgenre and you’ll quickly discover that not all entries are created equal. Due to the sexually charged nature of Erotic Thrillers, a common mistake that Hollywood suits make is believing that so long as there’s an adequate amount of sex and skin, the mechanics of the plot and the characters don’t matter. What’s wild about Richard Rush’s 1994 film Color of Night is that it both does and does not fall into this trap. There is sex, yes, and it is ridiculous,...

In 1996, Japanese gaming company Capcom set the gaming industry on fire with the release of Resident Evil and in turn gave birth to the survival horror genre in gaming. In 2002 they released a highly regarded remake, and in 2005 they rewrote the survival horror genre they invented with the action focused Resident Evil 4 … and the rest is history. But in 2006 things were changing. With the rise of HD televisions and next generation gaming hardware such as the Xbox 360, Capcom wanted to go back to...

A legendary, Emmy-nominated composer known for his work with David Lynch, we’ve learned the sad news this afternoon that Angelo Badalamenti has passed away at the age of 85. Born on March 22, 1937 in New York City, Angelo Badalamenti earned three Primetime Emmy Awards nominations for the musical composition and main title theme music he contributed to David Lynch’s “Twin Peaks,” and Badalamenti also composed the scores for Lynch’s movies including Blue Velvet, Lost Highway, Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me, and Mulholland Drive. In 1991, Badalamenti’s “Twin Peaks”...

Some critics believe that “cult movies” no longer exist. After all, how do you define an underground cult following in an age when independent films are more easily accessible than ever and you can instantly discuss movies with anyone in the world? It’s now possible to stream nearly any picture at the touch of a button, so it makes sense that the days of underground screenings and traditional word-of-mouth are long behind us. That being said, there’s an argument to be made about a modern-day equivalent to the cult classic....

Much like Doom 2 was to Doom, how do you follow up the mega success that was Quake? The obvious answer was Quake II, but there’s a little more to it than that. Long-time id Software member John Romero had departed the company, along with many of the staff who had worked on the first game. As such, you could say that the team was given the opportunity to try something new. That opportunity resulted in Quake II being Aliens when compared to the original Alien: bigger, more fun, and...

Godzilla was once a monster well suited for Cold War symbolism, but times changed. And as written in the book Japan’s Favorite Mon-star, author and film historian Steve Ryfle suggested “the breakup of the Soviet Union and the fading of the global nuclear threat” may have played a part in Toho’s drastic decision to kill off its most celebrated character.” Death wasn’t unheard of for Godzilla; after all, the atomic monster perished in its first two appearances. The only difference in 1995 was Godzilla was no longer a mere metaphor...

HBO created the first adult animated series in 1997, but Spicy City, a dark cyberpunk anthology from Ralph Bakshi, has become a lost relic. Animation is one of the most versatile mediums of storytelling and over the past decade it’s been able to shake the restricting baggage that animated content is purely for younger audiences. Animated series for adults are among some of the best dramas and comedies on television, especially those that lean into the limitlessness of the medium. Animated series like Primal, Castlevania, and Love, Death + Robots...
