? Against the House
In the Columbia Noir collection there's a movie called "Against the House." Is that the movie Five Against the House, which if I recall is a casino heist movie where part of the scheme involves tucking a gun-toting dwarf into a serving cart, but then the poor little guy SPOILER and his cart get…

That's really a lovely film, and I was excited to see it on the list. It's the kind of thing I could make a holiday-time tradition. But it looks like Lionsgate really screwed the pooch. What on earth were they thinking? That no one would notice?

This is how you do it:

I like when the brooms come alive and sweep the bald ice cream man out the door.

The only such pills I know of were handed out like jellybeans in a certain Berlin bunker in 1945.

Hey, how come there's no mention of that incredibly awful Toronto-themed anthology film?
Oh, right. Never mind.

I've never figured out why "You should not drink and bake" isn't the most famous Schwarzenegger movie quote ever. It's certainly the funniest - beats even "Get to da choppah" by a country mile.

Thanks for that info, dr.

Raging nationalism and an overinflated sense of self-worth keeps that bill rigid.

Skip Shiver??? Esta muy bueno.

NUMBER FIVE MUST SURVIVE
Bzzzzt! Bzzzzt! Zapppp!

That book was a big favourite of mine too - great to see the actual house. Did he also write one about a terrifying house with a red-painted room, or was that someone else? Regardless, that was one scary-ass bit of kid lit.

For those interested in seeing the movie properly,
I can't speak for the other Warner Bros. titles, but I just checked out their DVD of Razorback. (You can "preview DVD quality" on the website linked to above.) Well, that movie was shot by the talented Dean Semler at a 2.35:1 aspect ratio, and the DVD is squeezed in…

Rancho Notorious!
Anyone who hasn't seen that should grab the opportunity. And, in closing, chuck-a-luck.

This Video Is Not Available In My Location.
So fuck it. James Cameron is from Kapuskasing, Ontario - did any of you know that? I myself am not, but I'm from near enough as damnit. So: video not available in my location, and fuck those blue fuckin' polesmokers.

Simple solution: tell us the name and location of the theatre and the seat you were going to take, and we'll sit three seats down from that.

I hope he keeps that big white-guy circle around his mouth, so it's more authentic.

Stacy is mbs's mom, quite simple really.

Just arguments about wine.

Okay, this movie is for me.
I'm a "genre cultist." I don't mind if a movie takes a while to get going. I appreciate a considered build-up. I fetishize early-80s horror. I like that girl in the picture and I like her Walkman. When will it come to my town?
