Picking up where NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD left off, and still offering no explanation of why the dead are walking the earth, DAWN OF THE DEAD plunges headlong into one of the most violent and original horror films ever made. After securing an apartment building overcome with flesh-eating zombies, two Philadelphia area SWAT team members, Peter (Ken Foree) and Roger (Scott Reiniger), flee to a television station, where they escape in the station's helicopter with Francine (Gaylen Ross) and Stephen (David Emge), two station employees. Seeking refuge from the zombies and the ensuing hysteria, they land on top of a Pittsburgh area shopping mall, despite the fact that the undead seem to be flocking there. What begins as a stop for supplies becomes a longer stay as the four become embroiled in a futile war within the mall to keep their flesh to themselves and remain alive.
The film's relentlessly disturbing and innovative gore effects are one reason to see DAWN OF THE DEAD, but those who can stomach the endless barrage of blood and gnarled zombie faces will be rewarded--and possibly surprised--by what the film says about human nature and life within a consumer-based culture. Any aficionado of horror is likely to place the film high on their list of revered cinema.
The original 1968 horror film from director George A. Romero in an all-new hi-def Divimax transfer with new bonus features, including audio commentary with director Romero and Special Effects creator Tom Savini,.

Everyone knows someone like Miriam Knight (Stockard Channing, THE WEST WING). Dumpy, unpopular, and picked on by everyone, she wants nothing more than to blend into the woodwork and be left alone. One day, Miriam hits an all-time low when, after a campus meathead breaks her heart, she drives away in tears and suffers a terrible car accident. As a result, she must undergo extensive plastic surgery. Emerging from her bandages a now-beautiful woman, Miriam determines to extract revenge on those who have wronged her, and begins killing them off in comically creative ways. Eventually, Detective Ralph Varone (Edward Asner, ELF, JFK) picks up her trail, but he too finds himself falling prey to Miriam's charms. This dark comedy was penned by Joan Rivers (ANOTHER WORLD).

Ravenous review
$10.45 
When a young urbanite calls to order cable TV for his apartment he gets much more than he bargained for, as the demented title character arrives and proceeds to insinuate his way into the beleaguered customer's life. Raised by television as a child and starved for human contact, the "cable guy" is a darkly hilarious carnation of the modern age. Carey's manic karaoke rendition of Jefferson Airplane's "Somebody to Love" is a twisted highlight.

Shakes the Clown (Goldthwait, who also wrote and directed) drinks too much, is late to birthday parties and his girlfriend calls it quits when he misses her big bowling tournament. But things get worse when the clown dispatcher is found dead and Shakes becomes the prime suspect. He's on the run to prove his innocence, save the woman he loves from an evil clown and come to terms with the realization that he's a serious boozer. Billed as "The CITIZEN KANE of alcoholic clown movies," SHAKES also features a then unknown Sandler in a bit part as well as a scene-stealing, foulmouthed turn from Page, better know as Aunt Esther of TV's "Sanford and Son."

Jubal Troop (Glenn Ford) is an honest, well-intentioned cowhand who has come into town looking for work. When he is injured in a riding accident, rancher Shep Horgan (Ernest Borgnine) offers him a job tending horses, but before long trouble is brewing and Morgan's coquettish wife, Mae (Valerie French) falls for Jubal. The dubious cowhand Pinky (Rod Steiger) won't stand for Jubal stealing Mae's attention away from him. He slyly convinces Shep that the well-behaved Jubal is sleeping with Mae and sends the whole Horgan ranch into an uproar.
In spite of its heavy storyline, JUBAL is actually quite a funny film. The pairing of Glenn and Borgnine makes for several amusing scenes. The plot gradually morphs from psychodrama to black comedy to comedy (similar to films like THE SWIMMER and WILD THINGS) evoking mirth and laughter, fear and loathing. Director Delmer Daves welds all of the unsuspecting chaos together, making JUBAL a non-traditional but very memorable Western.
A jealous ranch hand stirs up trouble when his ex-lover, the boss' amoral wife, makes unwanted advances to the new foreman. Glenn Ford, Ernest Borgnine, and Rod Steiger star.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No A Classic Dark Movie
Part time Comedy part time drama. This movie is an unsung classic. Guy Pierce and Robert Carslyle are great. The whole scene in the tent when the Knox's screams "He Licked me!!!" is a classic.
A must have if you are Guy Pierce fan.
