Piranha 3D

Plot? Fish eat people. What more do you need?

Horror
Rod Lott
This past summer, only one movie featured Oklahoma City porn starlet Ashlynn Brooke losing her top and then losing her top half. (Well, to my knowledge, as I don’t watch porn.) That film was “Piranha 3D,” now on Blu-ray, either in 3-D or 2-D formats.

High Lane

A pretty decent 80 minutes

Thriller
Rod Lott
Hey, America! Looks like France figured out a way to combine the edge-of-your-seat action of "Cliffhanger" with the feral freaks of "Wrong Turn"!

Chawz

The other white meat is pissed in this weak monster-movie tribute.

Horror
Rod Lott
South Korea just doesn't know when to quit with "Chawz," a comedy/horror hybrid that clocks in at more than two hours in length.

Trailers from Hell! Volume Two

It’s like watching 20 movies with all the boring parts cut out!

Documentary
Rod Lott
Movie trailers can be found in the bonus screens of most DVDs. Rare is the case when the clips are the featured attraction, and a feature film is the extra — as in "Trailers from Hell! Volume Two."

Avalanche Express

Well, at least the avalanche part is cool.

Thriller
Rod Lott
Just last week, a friend was telling me how much he loves movies “set in snowy locales.” Those were his exact words, and he was serious.

Shark Night

Compared to 'Jaws,' it's all gums, but that's OK.

Horror
Rod Lott

With a title like "Shark Night," you know exactly what you're going to get: a dumb thriller about sharks eating people.

Jersey Shore Shark Attack

Goombahs and gore galore.

Comedy
Rod Lott
With one of those titles that doubles as a story summary, Jersey Shore Shark Attack is the rare made-for-Syfy film that has more to it than said title.

Shark Week

It bites. Hard.

Thriller
Rod Lott
What do you get when a prosecutor, a police officer, a journalist, an accountant, a judge, a bodyguard, a paramedic and one unemployed junkie skank are drugged, shackled and forced to play a game of survival involving man-eating sharks? The Asylum Home Entertainment's Shark Week, not to be confused with the Discovery Channel programming people look forward to.

Drive-In

Enjoy the show!

Comedy
Rod Lott
All but dead, the drive-in movie once was at the forefront of entertainment, as American as baseball, apple pie and Chevrolet. I can’t think of a film that bottles that nostalgia better than Drive-In, an obscure comedy worth hunting down.
