A new episode of The Black Sheep video series has arrived online this morning, and with this one we’re looking back at director Steve Miner‘s 1999 killer crocodile horror comedy Lake Placid (watch it Here). To find out why we think Lake Placid deserves more love than it gets, check out the video embedded above!
Scripted by David E. Kelley, Lake Placid tells the following story: When a mysterious creature violently kills a man in a Maine lake, Jack Wells, the local game warden, looks into the bizarre case, along with Sheriff Hank Keough and visiting paleontologist Kelly Scott. Looking for clues in a tooth that the beast left behind, Kelly and the others eventually locate the monster, a massive and vicious reptile eager to devour anything in its path. Can the crocodile-like creature be stopped?
The film stars Bill Pullman, Bridget Fonda, Brendan Gleeson, Oliver Platt, Betty White,...

Nearly 71 million people are displaced across the world due to poverty and violence; a new short film, We Do Not Live Here, tells the remarkable story of one of them.
Kensey is a refugee who fled Honduras on foot with three of her children. She’s currently at a migrant camp in Tijuana, Mexico, awaiting an asylum trial to immigrate to the U.S., and is separated from her husband and son, who are awaiting asylum in Texas. “My children aren’t bad,” she says in the film, tearing up.

To celebrate the release of The Reef, out on DVD today, I thought it would be fitting to take a look back at some of my favourite killer animal movies. A genre that often suffered from cheap, exploitation movies, killer animal flicks can offer some true, unbridled entertainment too.
So if being hunted by a giant alligator, or eating by a variety of giant spiders are your thing, then continue on to the first entry in my list:
#5 – Anaconda
Yes, the film stars Jennifer Lopez and was widely panned by critics upon release. But have you ever had this much fun watching a giant snake on camera? Giving you the kind of shit that David Attenborough just can’t deliver, this snake is definitely the daddy of all snakes.
Not only does our killer snake knowingly stalk this group of National Geographic misfits, implying some kind of vendetta it also...

Michael Douglas' son Cameron must have a serious drug problem. His girlfriend Kelly Scott was just arrested yesterday for allegedly attempting to pass him drugs via an electric toothbrush.

Law enforcement officials say Kelly hid bags of heroin inside the handle of an electric toothbrush. Now the two of them are in custody, which means she’s probably been involved in Cameron’s undercover drug ring he’s been orchestrating between New York and La. One source...
