An in-name only sequel- it’s been six years since the last S.W.A.T. movie, Firefight, and you Really don’t have to have seen the previous film – or the 2003 original – to appreciate this, the third film in the S.W.A.T. franchise. Yet another take on the Assault on Precinct 13 story model, S.W.A.T.: Under Siege sees a Swat compound come under fire from an international terrorist who relentlessly and violently pursues a mystery man who was apprehended by Seattle Swat after a raid went horribly wrong.
So why now? Why make another S.W.A.T. film now? Maybe it’s because CBS are planning a new TV iteration of the classic series,...

Our voyage through history's underappreciated films arrives at the year 2008 - another great year for lesser-seen gems...
For some, 2008 will be memorable as the year of The Dark Knight, with its astonishingly unhinged turn from the late Heath Ledger. Alternatively, it could be remembered as the year a legion Indiana Jones fans left cinemas glum-faced, having sat through Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull.
Elsewhere, Meryl Streep and Pierce Brosnan sang and danced on a Greek island in Mamma Mia!, while Will Smith played an alcoholic superhero in Hancock. But as usual, 2008 offered plenty of watchable movies outside the top 10, which is where we swoop in - like Hancock after a bottle of gin.
So as usual, here's our selection of 25 underappreciated films from the year 2008 - starting with a British horror film starring Michael Fassbender...

Jose Prendes dropped us a line with updates on two new projects he's working on, and while one is more along the lines of a spaghetti western, it has one of our favorite actor/directors involved, and Jose promises it will be especially violent and bloody, so we thought we'd pass along the info to our readers.
The name of the film is A Magnificent Death from a Shattered Hand (awesome title, right?), and here's how Prendes describes it:
A Magnificent Death From A Shattered Hand tells the bloody story of a long-lost treasure and the greedy bastards out to reclaim it. Thomas Jane stars as Jonas Barnes, who embarks on a quest to find buried gold revealed to him by his father's deathbed confession. While on the trail he manages to save a young girl, Catherine, from a gang of dirty, rotten kidnappers and in the process gets mistaken...

Remember Jonas Barnes and Michael Manasseri's blood drenched 'Babysitter Wanted' flick from a few years back? The flick starred Sarah Thompson, Matt Dallas, Kristen Dalton, Bruce Thomas, Nana Visitor and Bill Moseley and featured a cool little soundtrack from composer Kurt Oldman. Well, at long last, you can now download the soundtrack exclusively over at iTunes and enjoy the creepy little atmospheric numbers again and again. Click the link below to view and download all of the 29 tracks....

Babysitter Wanted was one of the best indie horror films to come out of 2009 and now the film will be available to a wider audience May 25th. The Blu-Ray artwork is left and the film will be released through the Big Screen Entertainment group on both DVD and Blu-Ray. The film is a taut, tense, thriller, which pits one innocent girl against a demonic force. An excerpt of a review posted here describes the film as "the pacing of the film, along with the twisting story will unsettle viewers" (Babysitter Wanted Review). Horror fans are encouraged to pick this one up.

- With a substantial increase in local funding and the continued financial support from corporate sponsorships, this festival is a big player, (perhaps the most prestigious of the festivals in the North American Fantasy Film Alliance (which includes (Nyaff, Austin's Fantastic Fest, Screamfest La, Phillies' Danger after Dark, Dead Channels from San Fran and Canadian cousin's Toronto After Dark).
