Piranha | Trailers From Hell Roger Corman's 1978 Jaws ripoff spawned remakes in 1995 (for cable) and 2010 (in 3-D) and its own "3-DD" sequel, as well as an Italian-made 1981 flying fish sequel directed by James Cameron. Altho rel...

RIP Jonathan Kaplan, a director for all seasons. A special favorite: TRUCK TURNER (with a character named "Joe Dante") - Italian release poster - art by Mario Piovano

Here's Joe's "Guilty Pleasures" column from Film Comment extolling the joys of Truck Turner: www.filmcomment.com/article/guil...

Jonathan Kaplan, Director of ‘The Accused’ and ‘ER,’ Dies at 77 The nephew of Van Heflin also helmed ‘Love Field,’ ‘Truck Turner,’ ‘Over the Edge,’ ‘Bad Girls,’ ‘Immediate Family’ and other admired films.

TFH Guru Jonathan Kaplan sadly passed away on Friday morning.

Jonathan directed such awesome actioners as Truck Turner & White Line Fever. But Jonathan couldn't be tied to any one genre, also helming Over The Edge, The Accused, & more.

RIP Jonathan Kaplan.

I knew Jonathan since the late 60s. No finer filmmaker, no better friend.

His cancer battle was finally lost Friday morning. His many friends and colleagues will remember him fondly.

A Naked Attempt at Saving Comedy A dwindling output of funny movies has left multiplexes strangely devoid of laughter. Could Liam Neeson’s ‘Naked Gun’ reboot bring it back?

Can The Naked Gun save theatrical comedies? Here's hoping!

'She Rides Shotgun' Review: A Fantastic Western-Tinged Noir That Demands To Be Seen Is this one of my favorite movies of the year? You're damn right it is.

I have no idea why Lionsgate isn't hyping the hell out of SHE RIDES SHOTGUN, a movie I absolutely love with another stellar performance by Taron Egerton and a fantastic newcomer in Ana Sophia Heger. Make a point to see this one!! Full review live at TFM.

Carnal Knowledge was a cheeky title in more ways than one, posits CineSavant’s @charlielargent.bsky.social. Though the film features endless chatter about fornication, actual insight into said sport is sorely wanting in our protagonists.
