Hill House had stood for 90 years and might stand for 90 more. Silence lay steadily against the wood and stone of Hill House and whatever walked there, walked alone." Thus begins one of the most chilling, most frightening, truly unforgettable horror films ever. Dr. Markway is an anthropologist with a special interest in psychic phenomena who wants to try a true exercise in terror. Intrigued by the legend of Hill House, he invites two women, psychic researchers, to join him in his adventure. Mrs. Sannerson, who has inherited the old mansion, is suspicious of Dr. Markway's intentions and insists that her young nephew Luke go along with the group. Luke is a skeptic about the supernatural, until he enters Dr. Markway's eerie world. The classic forerunner of such films as Poltergeist and The Shining, The Haunting is a hair-raising screen rendition of Shirley Jackson's riveting gothic novel, The Haunting of Hill House. Like Luke, you may not believe in ghosts, but you cannot deny the terror of The Haunting! ..........................................................................................................................

Synopsis: You know the man at a glance... and he still carries a badge. He's Don Johnson, the rugged Miami Vice star now prowling L.A.'s mean streets as Det. Jerry Beck in Dead Bang, an explosive thriller drawn from Beck's true-life exploits, and directed by John Frankenheimer. Beck's life is on the skids. His wife has left him, his apartment is a dump and his recent companions come in bottles or cans. The one thing he has going for him is his work as a good cop, but even that quality is questioned by authorities who don't like his hard-driving ways. Dead Bang's dangers hover and rumble like thunderclouds... and its lead role suits Johnson dead-on. The dynamic star is riveting as the cop whose street smarts and instinct for trouble put him on the trail of a gang of murderous white supremacists... and into a bullet-frenzied firestorm in their subterranean Colorado headquarters. “He's obsessed with his work and doesn't trust anyone”, is how director Frankenheimer describes Beck. “He takes an emotional and physical journey that can give audiences one hell of a ride.” It's a ride without handrails, seat belts or brakes, a headlong plunge into the heroics of a cop pushed to the max. ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: LISTENER FEEDBACK: Leave us your voicemail feedback at (484) 577-3876.

Synopsis: Writer Paul Schrader created this explosive portrait of a man who is like a walking vial of nitro-glycerine – ready to go off at any time. His critically-acclaimed Rolling Thunder is one of the finest films to explore the often violent effects of the Vietnam War on its returning “heroes”. When Major Charles Rane returns home to Texas, he is given a hero's welcome. He and his friend Johnny Vohden have endured eight years of physical and mental torture in a POW camp. Charlie's big homecoming includes a Cadillac convertible and a couple of thousand dollars… and the news that his wife has fallen in love with another man. The event that detonates Charlie is a brutal holdup by a gang looking for his reward money. They murder his son, the only person who matters to Charlie, and grind his hand in a garbage disposal. But they have underestimated the endurance of this determined man – a man who believes he is already half-dead. Now Charlie is equipped with a metal claw for a hand, his old friend Johnny, and a car that is a rolling arsenal of weapons and ammunition, as they set out to methodically eradicate the killers in true commando style. Excellent performances and a gripping plot that hurtles toward a violent climax! ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: LISTENER FEEDBACK: Leave us your voicemail feedback at (484) 577-3876.
