DVD Review: The Round-Up (2010)
Dir: Rose Bosch Starring: Jean Reno, Mélanie Laurent The Film: I along with many filmgoers can safely say that we’ve seen our fair share of “holocaust” or “concentration camp” movies over the past decade or so and going back even further obviously with classics such as SCHINDLER’S LIST.

DVD Review: The Greatest Movie Ever Sold [M15]
Dir: Morgan Spurlock The Documentary: The entire premise for this film is to make a documentary about branding, advertising and product placement in film and fund said film by those very means.

Hostel III (2011) – Review by Garrett Collins
Back in 2003, while Eli Roth was doing press to hype up his debut film Cabin Fever, he made it very clear that he was a big reader of Fangoria Magazine.

Mask Maker (2010) – Review by Garrett Collins
When horror called itself out in 1996’s Scream, people thought that the slasher film was dead.
