Blu-ray Review: Man’s Best Friend (1993)

News reporter/animal rights advocate Lori Tanner (Ally Sheedy), who’s shoulder pads could be considered a character of their own, decides to take home (read: steal) a massive dog named Max from Ye Olde Animal Test Labbe run by your (not) so friendly neighborhood mad scientist Dr. Jarret (the legendary Lance Henriksen). Really, what could go wrong there? Sure that pooch could be riddled with Mega-A.I.D.S., or some other horrendous disease, but not to worry; the fact he’s comprised of the genetic material of all sorts of dangerous animals will ensure that most who cross his path will end up torn to pieces long before any disease sets in (owing to the fact he begins to rapidly turn into a four-legged lunatic if he’s away from the lab and his meds). Will Lori become a victim of her own good deed or will the powers that be “hound” ol’ Max until he’s neutralized? I could talk about how this film is

Guillermo Del Toro Set To Write And Direct Bad Robot’s ‘Zanbato’

After last year’s 3 wins and 13 nominations at the Oscars, for The Shape of Water, it’s no surprise that Guillermo del Toro is still one of the biggest names in Hollywood. Collider is reporting that del Toro has found his next project following Netflix’s Pinocchio which is already in pre-production. The amazing filmmaker will be both writing and directing Zanbato for Paramount and Bad Robot. While many of the details haven’t been shared, Collider has stated that “Zanbato centers around a young female ninja — a character who could be anywhere between 10 and 15 years old.” However, del Toro insists it’s not a ninja movie, it just features some. BTW- NOT a Ninja project,” del Toro tweeted. “But there are ninjas in it.” Bad Robot’s J.J. Abrams will be producing the film along with Lindsey Weber.

Do Not Reply, written and directed by Daniel Woltosz and Walter Woltosz, centers on Chelsea (Amanda Arcuri), a high school introvert, is abducted through a social media app and is forced to look like other girls Brad holds captive.
