Star Trek Into Darkness

I'm not sure if J.J. Abrams gets STAR TREK, or if he even cares. But this is just so, so wrong on so many levels. A tone deaf, awkwardly paced and structured film that rides the coattails of greater things that have come before. Gene Roddenberry is rolling over in his grave.

Came across your review of Autumn Mists when trying to defend it from someone who hated it.. Really like your reviews! Keep them coming. And given I haven't watched most of the films on your ratings Ill be using your page as a resource!

"Might be Jean Rollin's worst film"...as much as I love the man's work, that is saying something. He definitely has some clunkers in his filmography. Schoolgirl Hitchhikers is the worst offender I've seen yet but I've never heard anything good about Zombie Lake either.

    I have a copy of the upcoming Kino blu-ray of SCHOOLGIRL HITCHHIKERS that I will be reviewing soon. There's a good possibility it will top ZOMBIE LAKE. There's just nothing going on. I guess he tries to infuse it with some thematic depth, but the whole "zombie with a heart of gold" thing just doesn't work. Zombies aren't sexy, and what he can do with vampires just doesn't translate.

    Cool news on the Kino Blu-ray. Are you reviewing it for web or print or anything? I wish Kino would release a Jean Rollin Blu-ray box set with all of his signature films they've put out so far. I'd drop a lot of cash on that.

    The Rollin releases collectedly made up my #3 blu-ray release of last year. They're fantastic. It would be a massive set all together though. My full review of the disc will be here - http://www.fromthefrontrow.net/
