It's St. Patrick's Day and you know what that means! A visit with our old friend, The Leprechaun! This week, we are back from Da Space and now in Da Hood with Leprechaun in The Hood from 2000.

It's Valentine's Day (well...a few days after) and what better way to tell someone you love them by scarring them for life at a 6th grade dance so that they grow up to be David Boreanaz with a bloody nose and make it their mission to murder you with hallmark greeting cards while wearing a cupid mask.

Francis Ford Coppola's The Godfather and The Godfather Part II are cinematic masterpieces.

And after 35 years does this greek tragedy of an epilogue about a family of gangsters deserve another look? We're here to answer today if The Godfather Part III is rea...

In honor of the passing of David Lynch, we are taking a very analytical look at two of David Lynch's masterpieces; Blue Velvet & Mulholland Drive.

Blue Velvet (1986) starring Kyle MacLachlan, Isabella Rosselini, Laura Dern, and Dennis Hopper presents the dual worlds within the town of Lumberton and how the discovery of a human ear by Jeffery played by Kyle MacLachlan leads him down a dark path into the town's seedy underworld.
