4K Ultra HD Review: The Final Countdown (1980)

‘Round about ol’ nineteen hundred and eighty, systems analyst Warren Lasky (a staggeringly young Martin Sheen) finds himself aboard the aircraft carrier U.S.S. Nimitz, led by Captain Yelland (a staggeringly not as old as he was towards the end, but still old Kirk Douglas) down Pearl Harbor way. Lasky’s job? Tell them what a gang of fuck-ups they are and how they can improve on that via efficiency or some shit… it isn’t important until it is anyway… Anyhow, the Nimitz soon finds itself in the middle of one hell of a bizarre storm, which they assume to be the result of some sort of Soviet attack or other… which unless they got their mitts on Destro’s Weather Dominator is a bit of a stretch, but regardless the Nimitz sails straight into a laser light display straight out of a Who concert. Cue: Star Trek theatrics, lazer antics, and searing pain… After all of that glorious nonsense, our heroes find

Exclusive: Trailer And Update For The ‘Crawl Of Die’ Sequel

BackyardFilms has just announced the upcoming sequel(s) to their 2015 breakout Horror, CRAWL or DIE, starring actress and singer, Nicole Alonso (CRAWL or DIE, Screen) who is returning as the fan-favorite badass action hero, Tank. Written and directed by acclaimed Indie director, Oklahoma Ward, filming has wrapped on the sequel that is currently in post-production. Ward and Alonso have kept the plot to their highly anticipated sequel(s) close to the vest, but what we do know is that Alonso’s Tank is back with a heart-pounding vengeance, and the Mohawk sporting, steel-nerved warrior will finally come face-to-face with the creature and this time — IT’S WAR! We called CRAWL or DIE a “claustrophobic masterpiece” back when it was released and there is no doubt that Ward’s follow-up will be just as intense, terrifying, and anxiety-inducing as its precursor. Backyard Films, LLC is the brainchild of Oklahoma Ward and Nicole Alonso. Started in 2012 as a means of producing the original CRAWL
