"Earlier this month, Production Weekly reported that Alex Cox and David Lynch would begin shooting their Repo Man sequel, titled Repo Chick, next month. Fifteen years after the release of the first movie, Cox revealed that it’s a timely revisit, as the new movie will “unfold against the background of the credit crunch and the subprime mortgage crisis in the US, where repossessions of homes, cars and other forms of property is at a new high.” Coupled with the recent announcement that John Carpenter is producing a remake of his own They Live, the news of a second Repo Man film has us wondering what other ‘80s cult classics should appropriately be remade or revisited now that the economy is shit again. Depending on your definition of “cult film” (many people call Ghostbusters a cult classic), some of the selected films may no "

"When you gather with your loved ones this week, be sure to give extra thanks for that turkey or soy-based equivalent on which you’re about to dine. Times are hard, but for most of us, we’re still able to eat. Nevertheless, we need to prepare for the even tougher times that inevitably lay ahead. As countless movies attest, desperate times call for desperate measures at the dinner table. Like cannibalism. The circumstances under which “eat or be eaten” becomes the rule vary widely. Plenty of films have taken on this ancient taboo; in fact, a search for the tag “cannibal” on Spout.com yields eleven pages of results. For your holiday viewing pleasure, I’ve narrowed the list down to ten. Alive

"I can only imagine what compromising pictures there must be floating out there of Joan Allen to get her to agree to a role in director Paul W.S. Anderson's car porn flick, “Death Race.” Granted, her role in the “Bourne” films was a supporting one, but this woman was thrice nominated for an Oscar. I mean, she's got to be more proud of starring in Saturday Night Live's “The Best of Chris (Mr. Peepers) Kattan” video than this. I know the argument: “It's just pure fun, it's a Roger Corman film, for crying out loud. Loosen up, Mr. Stuffy Movie Critic Guy!” And while I will admit to a few inventive scenes (the one prisoner's head that seemingly explodes when he gets plowed into was a nifty little effect. But the director must have thought so too, and decided to show it on three separate occasions), the overall effect is nothing that "

"Eating Raoul is a black comedy of the sharpest kind. It is set in the last heyday of the sexual revolution and mocks both those who embraced that revolution fully as well as the prudish sensibilities of those who objected to it. This movie has a withering and ironic detachment to the story that adds a vicious bite to all the jokes. Paul and Mary Bland (real life couple Paul Bartell and Mary Woronov) hope to open a very classy restaurant, serving only the best food and they want to call it Chez Bland. They don’t have the money for the restaurant as they barely scrape by with Paul working at a cheap liquor store. Ever the wine snob, Paul often criticizes his customers’ choice in cheap wine, comparing it to lighter fluid. As well as being wine and food snobs, they are a very prudish couple, sleeping in separate beds like a 1950s sitcom couple. The apartment building they live in has been renting out to more and more swingers whom the Blands abhor for their lewdness and cra ... "
