The Motion Pictures Posted by Lindsey on Aug 16, 2013

Though I’ve been impressed by the visual quality of Mill Creek’s DVDs on a few occasions, Midnight Warning is a film that has not aged well. Fuzziness and grain are consistent in this print. (Screen capture by Lindsey for TMP) Three young people check into a luxurious hotel: two men and read more

Rewind Review- Midnight Meat Train

The Movie Rat Posted by Bernardo Villela on May 13, 2012

Midnight Meat Train is a very interesting film. While it was a limited release film last year, it certainly got the attention of horror film buffs.

Journeys in Classic Film Posted by Kristen on Feb 20, 2012

I didn’t know much about Woody Allen’s Midnight in Paris aside from it was directed by Allen and it involved Owen Wilson in Paris.  Sitting in the theater and watching the film I completely fell in the love with the story of a writer who travels back to 1920s Paris at midnight.  I’ read more

The Best Picture Project Posted by Alyson on Jan 27, 2012

Over the phone, he lamented about being born in the wrong era.  He longed to be a child of the 1960s in order to experience the rock legends of the late 70s and 80s in their prime.  Led Zeppelin, Dio and Kiss are read more

CHINATOWN AT MIDNIGHT (1949)

Where Danger Lives Posted by Mark on Jan 16, 2012

“You’re a very paradoxical young man.” Shops closing early! There’s a killer thief on the loose in the Chinatown section of San Francisco, and the cops are hot on his trail. That’s a bare bones plot description if ever there was one, yet it jibes well with Chinatown read more

Midnight Crossing (1988, Roger Holzberg)

The Stop Button Posted by on Jan 4, 2012

Midnight Crossing is a terribly written piece of garbage, but there’s some definite potential to it. It takes forever for the potential to show.
