Intro

When you hear the word “Transformers” you probably think about the children’s toy, or fanboys with their bellies hanging over their belts, glasses, and a Transformers shirt which is about 2 sizes too small. Well, both of these are correct, but this 2007 movie Directed by Michael Bay and Produced by Steven Spielberg, holds a whole lot more meaning than those two things.

Intro

What happens in Vegas, Stays in Vegas. Unless that happens to be a piece of the Lep’s gold you have! Warwick Davis return as the evil Lep as he hunts down his ole gold in sin city in this 1995 release of Brian Trenchard Smith’s “Leprechaun 3.”

Intro

Slapstick humor has existed throughout. Humor that is witty, punny and well, annoying is what slapstick is. No one says it better than our good ole friend, The Leprechaun like in the 1994 release of Rodman Flender’s “Leprechaun 2.”

St. Patrick’s Day 2008 with SquidFlicks

Intro

You can figure out that the death of a film series has truly happened when they are launched in space. It’s happened in “Critters 4”, “Jason X”, and was even talked about for a Halloween sequel as well. It’s no exception either in the 1997 direct to video release of Brian Trenchard Smith’s “Leprechaun 4: In Space.”

Intro

Who Goes There? A simple question. As it can also be a sign of fear that trembles through your body. Not knowing who is friend and who is foe is a great fear, like in the 1982 release of John Carpenter’s “The Thing.”

Trailers! Not those kind, though!

SquidFlicks just received another mega-overhaul! Thanks to editor Patrick Farmer, all of the SquidFlicks Previews and Reviews now have trailers for their corresponding titles. Patrick has informed me that there were a few (less than 5) that had no trailers that were publicly available. If you happen across a link for one of these missing trailers - legally please =/ - contact us! I will add it immediately!

Stay tuned for more Squid!

Intro:

As Americans we tend to overly obsess about things too easily. A recent of  example of the trend is Harry Potter. Tons of people everywhere get into Harry Potter WAY too much, but is hasn’t reached an unhealthy point…..yet. Evenually obsession could be the end of us, like in the 1995 release of  John Carpenter’s “In the Mouth of Madness.”
