A scene from LOST RIVER.

Ryan Gosling's directorial debut may be a boondoggle but it's a highly entertaining boondoggle.

Retro Review: Enter the Void

Posted on 3 Mar 201512 Nov 2017 by Lackey
Paz de la Huerta and Nathaniel Brown star in ENTER THE VOID.

A bold, unique, singular, visionary work about terrible people I didn't engage with doing terrible things I didn't care about.

HEAVY METAL

From the pages of the legendary comics magazine of adult fantasy and science fiction come an animated exploitation flick, filled with pulpy gore and sleazy sex.
