School Spirit (1985)
December 29, 2012
Studio: Buena Vista
DVD Release: December 26th, 2005
So the stories go, back in the heyday of exploitation a film could get produced based on a title and a poster. It didn’t matter what the fuck happened in the film as long as you had an ad campaign. So as long as you had about three minutes or so of action to cut into a trailer it didn’t matter what else happened during the rest of the 60 to 70 minutes. Sometimes that would lead to creative people using that freedom to create films that transcend the genre and go on to become beloved classics. Other times it would just lead to lazy people not giving a shit. Guess which kind of people worked on School Spirit.
Saturday the 14th (1981)
December 25, 2012
Studio: New Concorde
DVD Release: March 27th, 2001
So Saturday the 14th is a PG rated family film from New World Pictures. New World isn’t exactly known for their family film output and there’s a reason for that. This film is a mess.

Studio: CAV/Severin

The Barrens (2012)
November 24, 2012
Studio: Anchor Bay Films
Blu Ray Release: October 9, 2012
The Barrens tries its best to be something different but falls short of even being somewhat original.
Midnight Disease (2010)
July 29, 2012
Studio: Brain Damage Films
DVD Release: April 3rd, 2012
I really can’t think of anything nice to say about this film. I guess I should cut it some slack as it seems like it was made by some college kids in their fucking dorm room. But I just can’t, because Midnight Disease commits the cardinal sin of B-movies, it’s boring.
Phenomenon (1996)
July 14, 2012
Studio: Touchstone Pictures
Blu Ray Release: July 3rd, 2012
The 1996 summer hit starring John Travolta as a simple man who is blessed with sudden powers but can melt the hearts of the people in the town, is now out on blu ray.
42nd Street Forever: Blu-Ray Edition
June 7, 2012
Studio: Synapse
Blu-Ray Release: May 8th, 2012
So here we have Synapse’s first 42nd Street Forever collection on Blu-Ray and it’s called 42nd Street Forever: Blu-Ray Edition (naturally). The series, if your just getting caught up, is made up of various exploitation trailers from the ‘50s through the ‘80s, though heavily skewed towards the ‘70s (42nd street’s heyday).
