Tokyo Mafia 2: Wrath of the Yakuza (DVD)
This sequel to TOKYO MAFIA: YAKUZA WARS once again stars Riki Takeuchi as a rebellious former member of the Yakuza who turns the Japanese crime world upside down and the old gangs against one another. He is now the head of his own organization, known as the Tokyo Mafia, a crime syndicate dedicated to overthrowing the old order and establishing a new kind of lawlessness. However, the destruction of the old gangs has caused a new problem. Now, the streets are filled with displaced gangsters looking to get in on a piece of the action, any way they can. As the old bonds are broken, no one can be trusted, especially those who have been friends in the past.NR"
Rats: Night of Terror (DVD)
The notorious Bruno Mattei (HELL OF THE LIVING DEAD) directs this post-apocalyptic horror movie. Here, a group of bikers discover an abandoned lab that contains some valuable goods such as food and water, but also is home to a race of super intelligent vermin who feed on human flesh. RATS: NIGHT OF TERROR is. of course, full of its director`s trademarks like over the top gore, laughably bad dialogue, and ludicrous special effects making it quite possibly the funniest movie about giant killer rats ever made.NR"
Director: Bruno Mattei
ACTORS: Richard Raymond, Richard Cross, Alex McBride

Village of the Damned (DVD)
The third remake in John Carpenter`s career (after MEMOIRS OF AN INVISIBLE MAN and THE THING), VILLAGE OF THE DAMNED comes from the novel, THE MIDWICH CUCKOOS written by John Wyndham, and the 1960s black and white film about the horrors of the nuclear age. Updated and spiced with the usual Carpenter edge, this remake is every bit as scary as the first one. In a sleepy town, ten strange children are born at the same time, all of them possessing platinum blone hair, piercing green eyes and supernatural powers. The intelligent, quiet children are disliked by the townspeople, and when people begin to die the first suspects are the special children. This was the last film Christopher Reeve made before his tragic paralysis, and he gives an excellent performance as one of the doctors who must stop the children from destroying the town. Once again John Carpenter creates a horrifying film with his talent for mood and unexpected frights, proving once again he is a modern master of horror.R"
