Quote: "I recognize that this film probably didn't have a big budget, so obviously The Pang Brothers didn't have the luxury of being able to hire top-drawer tech guys to help them with their visual doodlings. Still, I've seen plenty of crazy low-budget movies that look far better and more professional than this one."

Quote: "Dog has got what it takes, and by that I don't only mean the looks. He's tough, but he can get emotional, too. Most importantly, he thinks everything through before taking action."

Quote: "Where Street Certified barely offered twenty-five minutes of fight time, Uprising packs considerably more action into its show and at least three of the five fights are top-notch."

Quote: "It might scratch the itch for anyone hankering for a woman-out-for-justice vengeance flick, but for me, this Lady Punisher is trapped in below-average outing."

Reviewed by Daryl Loomis
Quote: "It's too bad these movies aren't more watchable, but I'm glad there are people making crazy movies in their basements and finding ways to get them distributed. I just wish they'd gotten better at it over the years."

Quote: "Highly recommended for fans of woman-wronged-and-goes-on-a-genitalia-impaling-spree exploitation."

Reviewed by Daryl Loomis
Quote: "The Morgue has an intelligent, if sometimes convoluted, story; pulls decent performances from an inexperienced cast; and features an effectively moody atmosphere. This is a quality, low-budget thriller worth checking out."

Reviewed by David Johnson
Quote: "It's got all the ingredients: a shadowy conspiracy, uptight nuns with something to hide, lots of pounding on the walls in a confined space, feverish visions, bleeding walls, old horny guys that are attracted to their own family, torture in the name of piousness, spontaneous lesbianism, chanting, screaming, pleading, dead languages and a big reveal, which is exactly fairly unsettling."

Reviewed by Clark Douglas
Quote: "The movie begins as a sharp and compelling idea, moves towards something scary, and then devolves into near incomprehensibility in the final act."

Reviewed by Dan Mancini
Quote: "Brendan Foley shows such promise as both a writer and a director that I wish I could report that the movie is a near miss. Unfortunately, it misses the mark by a wide berth."

Reviewed by Paul Pritchard
Quote: "Its well choreographed and executed fight scenes are brutal and unflinching. With the camera getting right into the action, they offer a sweet respite from the banality that makes up most of the film."

Reviewed by Franck Tabouring
Quote: "Too many interventions and unnecessary twists wreak havoc on most of the event's matches, making The Great American Bash the weakest WWE PPV of the year so far."

Reviewed by James A. Stewart
Quote: "The dreams it conjures aren't as cozy as a dinner party in Provence, but The Art of Travel will likely appeal to anyone who's gone adventuring vicariously with Anthony Bourdain or any number of his traveling brethren."

Reviewed by David Johnson
Quote: "What a fantastic way to soak up history!"

Reviewed by Brett Cullum
Quote: "It is a powerful film, made all the more stunning because it refuses to do much more than observe without comment."

Reviewed by David Johnson
Quote: "The primary purpose of the DVD is of an evangelical nature -- that is, these objections have been grappled with for centuries by some of the most gigantic brains in human history, so it's doubtful an 80-minute documentary will put these issues to rest."

Reviewed by Ryan Keefer
Quote: "Fans of Jimi Hendrix should get a kick out of watching this slight reimagining of his music."

Reviewed by Daryl Loomis
Quote: "As we watch these artists travel from place to place, there is plenty of fish-out-of-water amusement to be had, and the times that the bands are together look like a whole lot of fun."

Reviewed by Brett Cullum
Quote: "This movie confirms what we already know about a 75-year-old man who designs dresses for Chanel: He's crazy, rich, and a total bitch with gangster style."

Quote: "I like Minna Lessing and her workouts, and this one promises something new: You get to choose what kind of workout you want and the DVD magically creates it for you."
