...know what you’re thinking: not another flick about an American ballerina who goes to an international dancing school only to discover it is a witches coven! But turn those frowns upside down boys and girls, because this is a slasher flick from none other than Dario Argento, a.k.a. The Man who Gives Wes Craven and John Carpenter nightmares. The defining element of Argento’s films is a crazily inventive visual palette. The colors are so beautiful that the grizzly dismemberment attains a certain gloriousness. After seeing a movie like this, run-of-the mill horror...
...psychiatry students out there, this Brian de Palma (he of Carrie fame) slasher flick has an important lesson: never deny a mentally unhinged would-be transsexual the permission to receive a sex-change operation, or else he might start stalking and killing your patients. Luckily, there is a hooker with a heart of gold (Nancy Allen), who saves the day by helping the first victim’s child track down the killer. The dramatic apotheosis comes with the bizarre conclusion, which out psychos Psycho and shows off the best killer’s costume since Leatherface...

In this absurd final installment of the series, The Candyman kills all the associates of distant relative Caroline McKeever (D’Errico), framing her in the hope that she will join him as a legendary killing machine.

Many of them will also consume alcohol at parties and bars—and some of this drinking will prove dangerously unhealthy. Yesterday, as the Committee to Address Alcohol and Health met for the first time, The Staff called for the College to ignore Massachusetts state law and educate its underage students about responsible drinking. But regardless of whether the University takes such a principled stand, there...
That beleaguered film enthusiast wouldn’t be entirely off base. Before Good Will Hunting, before A Beautiful Mind, there was It’s My Turn—a decidedly lame 1980 flick in which Clayburgh plays Dr. Kate Gunzinger, a beautiful young math professor stuck in a frustrating romance with stuffy Charles Grodin. “At last, Mr. Wrong,” the video’s cover cries. Clayburgh cavorts and spars with bad boy Michael Douglas while struggling for a breakthrough proof that will, she insists, put her on par with Euclid and Newton...
