Coming pretty quickly after the incredibly exciting announcement that Seth MacFarlane is about to embark on a journey to reboot the iconic cartoon that was The Flintstones, American Dad Season 6 proves exactly why the Family Guy creator, and sometime opera star is one of the biggest deals the world of animation has ever seen.
And even though it is usually considered the poorer show when compared with Family Guy, this sixth season – available to buy on DVD from tomorrow – shows that criticism to be lazy and unnecessary, and the very fact that we have now got beyond six seasons is testament enough to how well the show has done.
The voice work is still sterling – as with Family Guy, MacFarlane compliments his own leather-smooth vocals by surrounding himself with some choice talent to fill the rest of the cast. ER and Band of Brothers star Scott Grimes continues as awkward teen Steve Smith,...

At a time when remakes – like them or not – are status quo for the movie industry, few films achieve a level of being anywhere near as good as their originals. This is especially true for the horror genre. After so many still-births and disappointments (Friday the 13th, Nightmare on Elm Street, Last House on the Left, to name but a few), fans have longed for someone to take a beloved film from the past and improve it, updating it to fit a more modern sensibility. Many have tried… most fail.
Enter director Steven R. Monroe and his re-imagining of the exploitation classic I Spit On Your Grave (review here) (Blu-ray/DVD review here). Long whispered about by fans as a cornerstone of late ’70s grindhouse fare, I Spit On Your Grave is admittedly a tough row to hoe. The film tells the story of a woman living alone in a...

The 49th annual Ann Arbor Film Festival is an epic celebration of experimental media that runs for six days on March 22-27. There’s so much great stuff screening this year, it makes one wonder what they’ll have left for their 50th anniversary next year!
A couple of the highlights include the highly anticipated feature-length documentary The Ballad of Genesis and Lady Jaye by Marie Losier, which chronicles the pandrogynous love story between industrial music pioneer Genesis P-Orridge and his late wife. The film already made a big splash at the Berlinale earlier in the year and looks to be a major hit on the festival circuit this year.
Also not to be missed is a special retrospective of one of this year’s festival jury members, Vanessa Renwick, a longtime favorite on Bad Lit: The Journal of Underground Film. Renwick will screen 10 of her quirky and artistic documentary portraits,...
