My eyes lit up when I saw Money Train on the shelf of Bay Street Video’s Christmas section. “This takes place on Christmas?” I whispered excitedly under my breath. I had never seen it on any X-Mas Movie Lists before, and while it was a film I knew by name (having been...
I love Dick Miller. Is it because I watched Gremlins so many times as a kid? Or The Terminator? Maybe. But that still doesn't explain the other thousands of people that have fallen in love with Dick ‘That Guy’ Miller over the last few decades. Why do we react with...

I’ve been a fan of Director John Hyams work since his impressively mounted Universal Soldier: Regeneration. I was glad to see the world take notice with the release of his bonkers follow up Universal Soldier: Day of Reckoning, but instead of Hyams moving on to more...
