Review Recollection: 'The Midnight Meat Train' (2008) http://hub.me/am7s8 I'm a huge Clive Barker fan and I saw this film years ago when I was reading a bunch of his books. I love The Midnight Meat Train for being so faithful to the source material, but its reputation seems to imply that it's not so great. #TheMidnightMeatTrain #moviereview #ReviewRecollection #BradleyCooper #LeslieBibb #BrookeShields #VinnieJones #TedRaimi #RyuheiKitamura #CliveBarker #horror #movies #Lionsgate
Review Recollection: 'The Midnight Meat Train' (2008)

A Clive Barker adaptation by Versus director Ryuhei Kitamura starring Bradley Cooper, Leslie Bibb, and Vinnie Jones. The horror film is incredibly faithful to Barker's short story of the same name and it has some fantastic kills.

Review Recollection: 'The Machine Girl' (2008) http://hub.me/am6ul I was a little disappointed with The Machine Girl when I first saw it, but it's awesome in its own ridiculous way. Noboru Iguchi is a guy who makes absurd cinema like no other. #TheMachineGirl #moviereview #ReviewRecollection #MinaseYashiro #AsamiMiyajima #NorikoKijima #Honoka #NoboruIguchi #action #shockfilm #gorefilm #splatterfilm #foreignfilm #Japanese #Movies #DVD #Bluray #TokyoShock
Review Recollection: 'The Machine Girl' (2008)

Noboru Iguchi makes some outrageously violent yet absurd films. The craziness in The Machine Girl is so ridiculous that it reaches its own unique levels of entertainment. Like ninjas and blood geysers? Decapitations and chainsaws? The Machine Girl has got you covered.

Review Recollection: 'Lars and the Real Girl' (2007) http://hub.me/am5Hi Pretty sure this is the film that made me love Ryan Gosling as an actor. Over a decade after its release, Lars and the Real Girl is still way better than it has any right to be. #LarsandtheRealGirl #moviereview #ReviewRecollection #RyanGosling #EmilyMortimer #PaulSchneider #CraigGillespie #comedy #drama #Movies #DVD #Bluray #Streaming #MGM
Review Recollection: 'Lars and the Real Girl' (2007)

Back in 2007, Ryan Gosling made weird and unusual captivating and delightful in one of Craig Gillespie's first films as a director. Sometimes all you need to overcome your introverted personality is a sex doll with a heart of gold.

Review Recollection: 'Harsh Times' (2005) http://hub.me/am5uo While everyone is still arguing over whether Suicide Squad and Bright are good films or not, dive into his first directorial effort, "Harsh Times," and remember the time Christian Bale ruined turkey basters for everybody. #HarshTimes #moviereview #reviewrecollection #DavidAyer #ChristianBale #FreddyRodriguez #EvaLongoria #crime #movies #TheWeinsteinCompany
Review Recollection: 'Harsh Times' (2005)

The first film David Ayer ever wrote, directed, and produced is a crime film starring Christian Bale and Freddy Rodriguez. It's not Ayer's best and Bale's performance is the best part, but it's a decent watch that deserves to have a better reputation.

Review Recollection: 'Electric Dragon 80,000 V' (2001) http://hub.me/am55x I went through a lot of Tadanobu Asano's earlier works after seeing Ichi the Killer & Electric Dragon 80,000 V was one of those discoveries. It's massively loud, incredibly bizarre, and completely in your face, yet unlike anything else. #ElectricDragon80000V #moviereview #ReviewRecollection #TadanobuAsano #MasatoshiNagase #GakuryuIshii #action #fantasy #scifi #Japan #foreignfilm #movies #DiscotekMedia #UnearthedFilms
Review Recollection: 'Electric Dragon 80,000 V' (2001)

One of the weirdest, loudest, craziest, and most amazing 55-minute Japanese films to ever be released. Tadanobu Asano is pretty great in general, but give him an electric guitar and a lizard infatuation and he's even more awesome.

Review Recollection: 'Dance of the Dead' (2008) http://hub.me/am4J6 Ghost House Underground emerged in 2008 as an offering from Sam Raimi to provide a new and fresh look at horror. I only saw Dance of the Dead and hated it so much that I never bothered with the other seven films. From the writer of My Little Pony: The Movie... #DanceoftheDead #moviereview #ReviewRecollection #JaredKusnitz #LucasTill #horror #comedy #zombies #movies #DVD #GhostHouseUnderground
Review Recollection: 'Dance of the Dead' (2008)

If you've ever wondered how painfully bad the zombie genre could get, look no further than Dance of the Dead. The absolute best thing about this film is Lucas Till's brief cameo as one of the rockers.

Review Recollection - Batman: Gotham Knight (2008) http://hub.me/am4D4 Six stories. 76 minutes. Four production studios. Kevin Conroy as Batman. Batman: Gotham Knight is pretty impressive for something so short. #BatmanGothamKnight #moviereview #ReviewRecollection #Batman #Studio4C #ProuductionIG #BeeTrain #Madhouse #KevinConroy #DavidSGoyer #anime #animation #superherofilms #anthology #directtodvd #Movies #WarnerHomeVideo #DVD #bluray
Review Recollection - Batman: Gotham Knight (2008)

Before Batman Ninja, Batman: Gotham Knight was the only Batman anime out there. Six stories mostly unrelated to each other awesomely animated by four different production studios. At 76-minutes, Gotham Knight is smooth and creamy animation that's easy to digest.

Review Recollection: 'Batman Begins' (2005) http://hub.me/am4xk Before we relied on this film to be a lobotomy of sorts to rid ourselves of the monstrosity that is Batman v Superman out of our eyes, ears, and brains, Christopher Nolan's solid The Dark Knight Trilogy launched with Christian Bale in the titular role of Batman Begins. #BatmanBegins #moviereview #ReviewRecollection #ChristianBale #LiamNeeson #KatieHolmes #GaryOldman #CillianMurphy #ChristopherNolan #superherofilm #Movies
Review Recollection: 'Batman Begins' (2005)

The first film in Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy and Christian Bale's debut as The Dark Knight. Long before the Martha thing was relevant, Batman received the reboot he deserved.

Review Recollection: B.T.K. (2008) http://hub.me/am4rH Lionsgate released a little movie straight to DVD in 2008 starring Kane Hodder as the B.T.K. killer. The film is unoriginally called, "B.T.K.," and it's written and directed by a guy who specializes in making barely watchable crap that goes straight to DVD or is made for TV. #BTK #moviereview #ReviewRecollection #KaneHodder #MichaelFeifer #horror #biography #crime #drama #serialkiller #Movies #DVD #Lionsgate
Review Recollection: B.T.K. (2008)

Michael Feifer's underwhelming representation of the B.T.K. murders is made watchable due to Kane Hodder's strong screen presence. The intense kills are surprisingly creative in their execution, as well.

Review Recollection: Antibodies (2005) Review http://hub.me/am4mC The Christian Alvart directed German thriller, "Antibodies," starring André Hennicke and Wotan Wilke Möhring with a lengthy cameo from Norman Reedus kind of blatantly rips off The Silence of the Lambs so much that it's accidentally pretty great because of it. #Antibodies #Antikorper #moviereview #AndreHennicke #NormanReedus #ChristianAlvart #crime #drama #thriller #foreignfilm #Germany #movies #reviewrecollection
Review Recollection: Antibodies (2005) Review

Ever wanted a German ripoff of The Silence of the Lambs? Christian Alvart has you covered. Norman Reedus has been taking some German lessons and wants to show the handful of phrases he's mastered for a pro bono role.
