Saw Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom yesterday. I was really struck by how much Black Manta's henchmen resembled the crew of Mario Bava's Planet of the Vampires.

Black God White Devil (1964). Deus e o Diabo na Terra do Sol (1964) I haven't seen this film since the early 1990's in the days of VHS, so I've been so excited to view this new restoration of Glauber Rocha's early Cinema Novo masterpiece. It certainly doesn't disappoint.

Despite being primarily influenced by westerns, I like that Black God White Devil (1964) also dips its toes into expressionist horror, even if it's fleeting. Cinematographer, Waldemar Lima's interior lighting is a real treat in a film that mostly plays out in daytime exteriors.

Chris Christian Zyp and I finally sat down to talk about Julian Roffman's THE BLOODY BROOD available from KL Studio Classics / Kino Cult. With commentary by me & Canuxploitation!. Peter Falk's first major film. Roffman would follow up with the MASK 3-D in 1961. on.soundcloud.com/2x1Va

RÉJEANNE PADOVANI is our third and final release from Denys Arcand’s unofficial ’70s crime trilogy – and it may be the best of the bunch! Featuring an all-star Quebecois cast, this is one of Canada’s sharpest, most incriminating cinematic self-portraits. vinegarsyndrome.com/collections/ca…

Enjoying the sandwich named after a treasured actor from Canadian films. The "Harvey Atkin Reuben" Pancer'sOriginalDeli. Delicious! Canuxploitation! and I discuss Harvey in our commentaries on the bluray releases MINDFIELD (1989) Canadian International Pictures and FUNERAL HOME (1980) ShoutFactory.

I very much enjoyed the candid conversation with Bernie and Pete. It was supposed to be a discussion focused on The Man Who Wasn't There (1983) but quickly turned into a 3D geek fest. We mention Canuxploitation! too!

Part 2 is live. More informal 3-D chit chat with Bernie and Peter.

“Dirty Money is a real find, a Blu-ray this reviewer is anxious to share with friends—without telling them anything about it beforehand. I’m only sorry I didn’t see this earlier as it would definitely have made my list of 2023’s best Blu-ray releases.” Canadian International Pictures Paul Corupe

More exciting news for the months ahead: Bruce McDonald’s celebrated rock n’ road classic ROADKILL (1989) is coming soon from CIP! We can’t reveal the details just yet, but expect a disc worthy of the film’s iconic status. Watch the classic teaser here: youtu.be/ND6_MVJ7PtI

Very unexpected. I've been nominated for a CCE (Canadian Cinema Editors) Award. Best Editing in an Animated Pre-School Series. Paul Hunter, CCE, Katie Tomchishen & Jason Pichonsky - SUPERBUNS: Ep 116 - C'MON CATERPILLAR cceditors.ca/2024/01/29/14t…

Proud to be a small part of this release along with Canuxploitation! Love this film so much!

An enjoyable and unexpected night last night at the CCE awards. Together with Paul Hunter and Katie Tomchishen we picked up an award for Best Editing in an Animated Preschool Series. It's such an honour to win. #CCE2024 #yowzaanimation

A decade before achieving blockbuster status with Ghostbusters, director Ivan Reitman put himself on the map with CANNIBAL GIRLS, a more unsettling stab at horror comedy featuring future icons (and SCTV stars) Eugene Levy and Andrea Martin. Pre-order now: vinegarsyndrome.com/collections/fr…
