2:22 (DVD)
An independent production, this film has never made much of in impact on the circuit, but it is now availale on DVD and John Carpenter took a closer look.
Black Dynamite (Blu-Ray)
Please welcome back our reviewer John Carpenter as he takes a look at the Blu-Ray version of Black Dynamite.
The Candy Snatchers (DVD)
No, this is not a kid's movie. It is a dark 70s exploitation film that belies its B-movie origins in many ways, now available on DVD with some great bonus materials.
Crash (DVD)
'Crash' is the latest release from Lions Gate and John Carpenter took a close look at the DVD. Not to be confused with the David Cronenberg film, this is an entirely different experience with a tight script and an exciting plot. Read all about it in his in-depth review
The Crazies (DVD)
A new take on George A. Romero's 1973 infection thriller, this remake delivers shocks in spades and makes for a great showing.
Dead And Breakfast (UMD)
After its successful launch onto DVD, this dark and funny, independent horror comedy is also avilable on a UMD disc for your PSP. Great stuff for fans of the film.
Dead And Breakfast (DVD)
Another cool indie film from Anchor Bay, this movie is highly entertaining despite a bit of an identity crisis. It doesn't seem to know whether it wants to be a horror film, a comedy or a musical... and yet, it is sheer fun.
The Devil's Rejects: Unrated Director's Cut (DVD)
Musician-gone-filmmaker Rob Zombie is back with a new gorefest. Following up on the success of "House Of 1000 Corpses" he continues the story of Otis, Baby and Captian Spaulding. With more mayhem than ever.
Don McKay (Blu-Ray)
Featuring a great cast, this thriller by new director Jake Goldberger has all the ingredients for a great film. John Carpenter took a closer look to see how it turned out in the end.
Elf (UMD)
Jan Favreau's take on the Christmas family genre features Will Ferrell as a human among elves. It is a funny story with great moments, but also not entirely without flaws.
Eric Idle's Personal Best (DVD)
From A&E Home Video's line of Monty Python releases comes 'Eric Idle's Personal Best'. A collection of sketches, skits and episodes from throughout the years, all highlighting Eric's incredible talents. John Carpenter took a close look for you.
Expo: Magic Of The White City (DVD)
'Expo: Magic Of The White City' is a documentary about the World Fair of 1893. A wonderfully entertaining history lesson, hosted by Gene Wilder, this is a DVD you should see. John Carpenter took a close look at this great release from Inecom.
Fantastic Mr. Fox (Blu-Ray)
John Carpenter gave Wes Anderson's take on this Roal Dahl story a closer look as it arrived on Blu-Ray Disc. Clearly, this is a film for everyone to see.
 Freddy Vs. Jason (UMD)
Clearly one of the best UMDs in the market, this collision of 80s horror icons breathes life back into characters that were on the brink of self-destruction. And the UMD version simply rocks!
From Dusk Till Dawn (UMD)
Tarantino, Rodriguez and Clooney created a vampire story of a different kind here. It's good to see this film is part of the early UMD line-up from Buena Vista because it still rocks!
Futurama: Monster Robot Maniac Fun Collection (DVD)
This time 20th Century Fox has assembled selected episodes from the show on a single DVD. 'Futurama: Monster Robot Maniac Fun Collection' is the title and John Carpenter decided to give the DVD a closer look. See what he has to say.
Ghost In The Shell (UMD)
One of the most acclaimed Anime films ever made, Manga Entertainment has now released Motoko Kusanagi masterpiece on UMD for viewing on the PSP.
Halloween (UMD)
This is director John Carpenter's classic film that started the stalker horror genre. Still scary and riveting it is now available on UMD. Our own John Carpenter gave the disc a check-up... fate or coincidence?
High Tension (DVD)
Raw and brutal, this French film is an example of how slasher flicks have evolved in Europe. While it may not be perfect, it is a remarkable genre entry that is now available on DVD.
Hoot (DVD)
Designed for the family and younger viewers, here we have an adventure for pre-teens that also serves up a bit of education. Well put together, it may not be a huge cinematic experience, but it still serves its purpose.
