For those of you out there who have the capability of playing back laserdiscs, I've been putting some of my collection up for sale on eBay as of late - you can see what I have available by clicking the link below:

In other news, I'm trying to figure out just how to cover the films of Teruo Ishii - there are so many that I want to write about that I may just end up doing one massive retrospective of his work. We will see . . . Otherwise, the only new article I have available at the moment is for Warner Bros. Blu-ray release of DELIVERANCE.
BLUE RAY REVIEW: DELIVERANCE [ 2007 ] WARNER BROTHERS
That's all for now - will try to have something more substantial for the end of the week.

Hi all - I'm on something of a roll this week as far as content goes and hope you all are enjoying it. Here's your new review for today:
CRACK IN THE WORLD [ 1965 ] Andrew Marton
A goodly amount of older content has been upgraded as well - links can be found below:
FILM REVIEW: MONSTER OF PIEDRAS BLANCAS, THE [1959] Irvin Belwick
DVD REVIEW: GAPPA: FRANKENSTEINS FLIEGENDE MONSTER [ 2006 ] CMV LASERVISION
DVD REVIEW: GEMBAKU NO KO [ 2006 ] BOYING
I'm finding myself more and more aggravated these days in regards to exclusive DVD releases - the latest to earn my guile have been the double feature science fiction sets put out by Warner Bros. This is the first time that the likes of any of the films contained in these sets have seen release on DVD, with several (WORLD WITHOUT END and WHEN DINOSAURS RULED THE EARTH particularly) being very much looked forward to by myself.
But thanks to there being no Best Buy in my general vicinity (the Mall Of America branch has yet to open) and the reluctance of the company to make such exclusive sets easy, in any way, to purchase via their online store, I am at the mercy of the hacks on Amazon and eBay who are demanding $40 or better for the SRP $19.95 releases. Consider me one less customer who will be shelling out for these - I'll wait for the inevitable wide release of the 6-film boxed set, ala the Universal Classic Sci-Fi Collections of recent memory.

First things first, a new film review has been posted for the exceptional 1960 Shintoho
production of JIGOKU.
FILM REVIEW: JIGOKU / THE SINNERS OF HELL [1960] Nobuo Nakagawa
I've taken a much needed month-long respite from work, starting this past Saturday, and will be spending the time between August 8 and August 22 with my family in North Carolina. My hope is to have several more reviews (I've had the Severin Films release of THE INGLORIOUS BASTARDS here for over a week now awaiting coverage and am also itching to cover Teruo Ishii's seminal slice of weird THE COLLECTED WORKS OF EDOGAWA RAMPO: HORROR OF MALFORMED MEN, amongst other things).
I'm presently on the hunt for a job that would offer more consistent hours - the back and forth nature of my present schedule has really hampered my ability to provide new site content here over the past couple of months. Hopefully a change for the better, in that regard, will be coming soon.

At long last, WTFFILM has finally caught up with the latest in home entertainment revolutions - with the
arrival of my Playstation 3 nary two weeks ago and my finally forcing my PC into playing ripped content,
I can finally begin reviewing Blu-ray releases. In quiet celebration of my being able to play yet another
home video format (add that to VHS, S-VHS, LD, and DVD (all region)) I have written up reviews of two
of my favorite films' respective BR releases.
BLU-RAY REVIEW: 2001 A SPACE ODYSSEY [2007] WARNER BROTHERS
BLU-RAY REVIEW: THE HOST [2007] MAGNOLIA PICTURES
Just like my DVD reviews in the past, all forthcoming BR reviews will include full resolution screen captures of both the feature presentation and supplements. Enjoy!

NEW DVD REVIEW POSTED
There's not much to say for this update - I just received the fantastic New Entertainment World R0 PAL release of GOKE BODYSNATCHER FROM HELL and just had to have a review of it posted before the excitement wore off. This is a fine film that I hope to review on its own right in the next few days, but the DVD review will suffice for the moment.

RECEIVE THE BATON OF JUSTICE!
Now that I've managed a bit of time off from work, I'm looking to update a lot of the old content from WTFFILM as well as write some new stuff. First up on the agenda is a review of GOLDEN BAT, a totally insane super hero romp from Toei Studios in 1966.
Are you ready to receive the baton of justice?
