$10.25
DESTRY RIDES AGAIN will forever be remembered for Marlene Dietrich's performance as Frenchy, a crooked saloon waitress with a heart of gold. Her rendition of "See What the Boys in the Back Room Will Have" is one of the highlights of her career. But DESTRY RIDES AGAIN has much more to offer than just Dietrich's performance. This hilarious satire carries Jimmy Stewart in the lead as Tom Destry, a supposedly tough law enforcement man who doesn't like guns. Stewart's comic touches are brilliant as he eagerly gives out educational anecdotes anytime an opportunity affords itself. The plot ...

Animé innovator Satoshi Kon brings murder, mystery, and mayhem to PARANOIA AGENT. An unknown assailant brutally attacks Tsukiko Sagi. Questioned by the Tokyo Police, Tsukiko's story of a child attacker seems absurd. Nevertheless, the attacks continue. Other victims describe the image of a child with a crooked baseball bat and golden rollerblades. The culprit, now dubbed "Lil' Slugger," hides in abandoned alleys, sneaks up on unsuspecting passersby, and bludgeons them. Is this the work of a child? These mature tales of horrifying crimes are awash in imagery that suggests an altered state of consciousness.
After the first victim's story, the police felt the overly stressed woman was having a breakdown and lied to cover-up for some crime, ...

Writer-director Mitchell Lichtenstein's feature debut is a horror comedy combining elements of atom-age 1950s horror films with mythology and feminist theory. The result is a smart, sassy B-movie satire--funny, gross, and with a high squirm factor. A risky idea that could well have turned into a lower-tier Troma production, TEETH is a unique and surprising creation. Dawn (Jess Weixler) lives the life of a normal suburban teenager, except for the two nuclear reactors looming over her house. A goody two-shoes by any measure, she leads the local chapter of a chastity group, lecturing younger children on saving themselves for marriage. She finds herself stirred in unexpected ways, however, by new member Tobey (Hale Appleman). Dawn lets herself get closer to him than she has to anyone else, but when he rapes her, she discovers---in the most grisly way---that she is a true incarnation of the vagina dentata myth. As Dawn attempts to come to terms with her emerging sexuality and her second set of choppers, more men with bad intentions fall victim to their worst nightmare.
Lichtenstein, sometime actor and the son of artist Roy Lichtenstein, reportedly first heard of the vagina dentata myth while studying under Camille Paglia, and his take on it proves to be as frightening (and bloody) as one would expect. As Dawn, Weixler is winning, and watching her transformation from meek to empowered is a blast to watch. A handful of wincingly gory sequences will have horror fans howling, but there are layers to the film for those willing to peel them back. Cult favorite GINGER SNAPS, which examined menstruation as a metaphor for lycanthropy, ...
