Psycho Goreman Sequel Could Happen, According To Director Steven Kostanski It’s a great day to be a fan of violent alien overlords, big brain best friends, fearless pre-teen girl bullies, and of course, hunky boys. Filmmaker Steven Kostanski and the Canadian film production company Astron-6 have developed somewhat of a cult following thanks to films like “Manborg,” “Father’s Day,” “Bio-Cop,” “The Void,” “The Editor,"(directed by Adam Brooks and Matthew Kennedy) and “Leprechaun Returns,” but they truly knocked it out of the park with their hilarious sci-fi comedy gorefest, “Psycho Goreman....

The Best Teaser Trailers Of All Time I love teaser trailers. We live in a day and age where most Hollywood trailers show too much, valuing cool footage over mystery, surprise and a well-constructed edit. There is an art to the teaser trailer.

The low-budget sci-fi show, which debuted in 1963 with William Hartnell as the title character, was a fast-and-dirty content mill with lightning-quick turnaround times and a production schedule like a diner during Sunday brunch.

We Own This City Series Review: An Uncompromising And Grim Look At The Modern American Police The words “We own this city” are uttered eventually in the six-episode HBO miniseries of the same name, by a crooked cop leading a special task force ostensibly on the streets to take in guns and drugs in the city of Baltimore. But it’s arguably a line that doesn’t need to be spoken, because of the vast and existentially bleak sense of a corrupt and rotting system beyond fixing that’s depicted from the first minute of this uncompromising series....
