Shogun’s Joy of Torture isn’t a movie for everyone, probably not for me either, as it doesn’t have much substance to offer and forget about much entertainment value.
Severin Films has announced four new releases for March 2021 including Perdita Durango, The Day of the Beast, Nosferatu in Venice and A Scream in the Streets.
Hard to Hold is a poorly written romance-drama that at least was made somewhat watchable with the nice chemistry between Rick Springfield and Janet Eilber, though that doesn’t mean both give consistent performances.
Random Acts of Violence, based on the graphic novel, stars Jesse Williams, Jordana Brewster and Jay Baruchel, who co-scripted, produced and directed. The Blu-ray and DVD arrives on February 16th.

The Allnighter isn’t exactly a quintessential movie from the 1980s, probably not even second tier either, and while it’s pretty safe but it’s light-hearted entertainment.
Crash isn’t a movie I found all that great though my interest was mainly for some of the controversy and honestly as strange as the “plot” and characters were, it’s not that out of bounds at least nowadays.
