After a young waitress receives strange coins for a tip, she inadvertently becomes embroiled in an underworld battle with a notorious criminal that leads to her death. With the help of a mysterious old lady, her younger sister goes back in time to save her from being murdered. Time Again is written by C.S. Hill, Debbie Glovin and Ray Karwel who also is the director. The acting is pretty good, nice chemistry between the sisters played by Angela Rachelle and Tara Smoker and Scott F. Evans is very good as Mr. Way (the main bad guy character). It´s professionally shot and edited but it´s quite evident that it was shot on a small budget (it´s very noticeable in some scenes). The soundtrack is good. It´s fast paced and there is hardly a dull moment during its running time of 82 minutes. It´s a actionpacked timetravelling flick in the style of Back to the Future and of course things doesn´t always go as planned. There are several funny moments in it. I can imagine that some viewers might find it a bit confusing with it´s non-linear form. There are several violent/gory shoot outs but the squibs are mostly computer gendered. No T & A in this...
Time Again is due to be released on DVD on the 21 of August 2012 by Brain Damage Films.

Rating: 6 out of 7. I enjoyed Time Again. It´s an entertaining fast paced mix of action, sci fi and some comedic elements. The interaction especially between the sisters are good and I did laugh out loud once in awhile but mostly I just had a smirk on my lips...

When a group of sexy high school friends reunite for spring break during their freshman year of college, all they are looking for is a skinny dipping good time. Instead they find a sadistic blood thirsty killer wielding a medieval war hammer has targeted them to be his next victims. Girls Gone Dead is written by Ryan Dee, Meghan Jones and Michael Hoffman Jr who directes alongside Aaron T. Wells. Although some of the acting is pretty bad it is for the most part pretty decent. The movie features many cameos (but I only recognized Ron Jeremy and Linnea Quigley). It´s quickly paced, never gets boring or dull. It´s professionally shot and edited. It isn´t scary, there is no real suspense but it´s very entertaining. There are a lot of unlikeable characters in this and most of the male characters are douche bags. The masked maniac, brandishing a battle axe, is pretty cool. It´s gory, it´s not a gorefeast but it was certainly much gorier and violent than I expected. The gore is old school practical make-up fx and most of it looks good. There is gratuitous T & A, including full frontal nudity, and a lot of attractive girls and I do mean a lot.
This review is based upon the Unrated region 1 DVD release from Entertainment One.
Rating: 6½ out of 7. I enjoyed this a lot, it´s pretty much what I expected. Never a dull moment and plenty of T & A, plenty of gore and some comedy. Grab a beer and enjoy it with friends!

Shivers (Mark Lassise) has escaped, and once again sets his murderous sights on Lynn Blodgett (Jacqueline Reres). But Detective Peters (Frank Lama) stands in his way, and this time he´s not bringing the clown in: He wants to put him six feet under. Shivers ain´t alone - - he´s brought two homicidal friends to help him kill Lynn. There´s only one thing he doesn´t know: Detective Peters isn´t alone either. Fear of Clowns 2 is written and directed by Kevin Kangas. The acting is decent and Frank Lama is probably the strongest actor in the cast, it´s professionally shot and edited and there are some really nice shots in this and a few really cool/creepy scenes. The soundtrack is good and helps add to the atmosphere. There is gore, mostly practical make-up fx but I think they´ve used some digital fx in some more complex scenes, and for the most part it looks good. Part 2 is much gorier than the first film and there are a couple of quite nice kills in it. There is T & A in this courtesy of hottie Savannah Costello who also provides some full frontal nudity.
This review is based upon a limited edition release from Kangas Kahn Films LLC, it´s numbered 812 out of 900 copies.
Rating: 4½ out of 7. I enjoyed it but I´m afraid that Fear of Clowns 2 is somewhat of a letdown despite having more action, more killer clowns, more gore, more nudity and a more rapid pacing. The problem is that they make a big misstake by having three creepy killer clowns and not use them to full effect (sadly Shivers friends don´t get much screen time). If you liked the first movie, are a fan of killer clowns or if you are a fan of the slasher genre you should check out Fear of Clowns 2.
