The Wulf — Thu, 29 May 2008 22:55:40 -0400

If you are in the mood for a blood spattered dark horror comedy, then OTIS is the film for you. Directed by Tony Krantz and starring Illeana Douglas, Daniel Stern, Bostin Christopher, Ashley Johnson, and Kevin Pollack, the film follows one family's attempt to get their kidnapped daughter back from a menacing serial killer named Otis.

This film was one of the funniest at this year's Cleveland International Film Festival, and is currently available on DVD.

The Wulf — Sun, 13 Apr 2008 20:48:09 -0400

Another powerful documentary from the Cleveland International Film Festival, MOUNTAIN TOP REMOVAL takes a look at a devistating type of coal mining that literally grinds down a mountain to get at the coal seams beneath. It has to be seen to be believed. This type of mining in rural West Virginia has thrust low income inhabitants into war with massive energy companies to save their way of life and the land they hold dear.

The Wulf — Tue, 25 Mar 2008 23:03:07 -0400

SPINE TINGLER! THE WILLIAM CASTLE STORY is a documentary about B Horror film director William Castle, who brought hordes of viewers to his films in the late 1950's and early 1960's. But audiences didn't always show up just for the movies, they showed to see what gimmick would be delivered in the next William Castle film. Whether it was a flying skeleton above the crowd, buzzers in the seats, or an insurance policy against death by fright, Castle knew how to bring in crowds, and his legacy has forever been etched into Hollywood.

Left of Center: A review of the film BE KIND REWIND

The Wulf — Fri, 07 Mar 2008 23:47:09 -0500

BE KIND REWIND is the latest film from French filmmaker/music video director Michel Gondry. It stars Jack Black and Mos Def as a misfit duo who inadvertantly erase all the VHS tapes in a local video store. In an attempt to fix the tapes they decide to begin remaking the movies themselves, which begins to garner them quite a bit of attention in the community.

Definitely check out the film's web site, it might be more fun than the movie.

Left of Center: Review of THE MAN FROM EARTH on DVD

The Wulf — Sat, 23 Feb 2008 18:45:18 -0500

The cerebral sci-fi film THE MAN FROM EARTH is a unique kind of science fiction film. The last script from Jerome Bixby (who died in 1998) the film tells the story of a college professor who floors his colleagues by telling them that he is in fact 14,000 years old and started out life as a caveman. He goes on to challenge their scientfic beliefs with this tale that some believe is lunacy and others just a cruel joke. But as the story goes on, could it all be true?

The Wulf — Sun, 27 Jan 2008 18:29:40 -0500

THERE WILL BE BLOOD is the new film from writer/director Paul Thomas Anderson and stars Daniel Day-Lewis. The film is very loosely based on a portion of Upton Sinclair's 1927 novel OIL. The story surrounds a relentless early 1900's oil man bent on building an empire. He ends up coming head to head with a fire and brimstone boy preacher for control of a small town and the minds of its people. Currently the film is nominated for 8 Academy Awards this year.

The Wulf — Thu, 13 Dec 2007 21:44:22 -0500

ANGEL-A puts French director Luc Besson back in the director's chair after a six year absence, and it is possibly his best film to date. The film has been called a mix of It's A Wonderful Life and Wings Of Desire, but Besson has definitely taken the tale and made it his own witty and funny tale of redemption in the city of Paris. The film stars Jamel Debbouze, Rie Rasmussen and Gilbert Melki.
