Animal Kingdom by David Michod

My review of Animal Kingdom from writer-director David Michod is up at spinetingler.

Give it a look HERE.

I try not to post twice a day but I really want to get the word out on this motherfucker.

It's opening in a number of cities today and you would be well-fucking-served to catch this shit in the theater.

The Long Fall by Lynn Kostoff

My review of Lynn Kostoff's The Long Fall is up at spinetingler.

Check that shit out HERE.

This one should probably be a Catching Up review, but I kind of think I'm done with that shit.

Spinetingler has become too much of a home for me to not put all the shit I can up there.

Think of the blog proper as more of a place to find all my shit than as a place to read my shit.

Savages by Don Winslow

My review of Savages by Don Winslow is up at spinetingler.

Read that shit HERE.

I've gotta go back and catch up with this Winslow guy. This shit truly blew me away.

Any of the faithful out there have suggestions for what of his I should pick up next?

The Wolves of Fairmount Park by Dennis Tafoya

My review of The Wolves of Fairmount Park by Dennis Tafoya is up at spinetingler.

Read that shit HERE.

Fuck, to say dude's got ambition is to say, like, Dolly Parton has a decent sized rack.

Did I just make a Dolly Parton tit joke? Jesus, who am I supposed to be? Johnny Carson Jr.?

Cell 211 by Daniel Monzon

My review of the film Cell 211 from director Daniel Monzon is up at spinetingler.

Educate your ass HERE.

Fucked up that no one's talking about this film. I mean, all the hoidy-toidy film critics (justly) creamed over A Prophet but then this motherfucker comes to fucking radio silence?

I guess I'll just have to be the prophet for this film then, right? You get it?

Excuse me while I go kill myself.

Crime Factory Vol. 2 No. 4

The latest edition of Crime Factory is up and yours truly has another "Crime Sleeper Double Feature" up in that beautiful bitch.

The movies in question are John M. Stahl's Leave Her To Heaven and Jean Negulesco's Road House and it can be found on pages 68-72 HERE.

You'll also find in there new fiction by badasses like Allan Guthrie, Kieran Shea and Graham Powell as well as kick ass features from Liam Jose, Keith Rawson, Cameron Ashley, and many more.

Oh, and to answer your question: No, I am not talking about the Swayze Road House.

Rabid Child by Pete Risley

My review of Rabid Child by Pete Risley is up at spinetingler.

Check that shit out HERE.

This book is dropping today, July 20th, from New Pulp Press and you should get yourself a piece.

If you've got the sack for it, that is.

A Choice of Nightmares by Lynn Kostoff

My review of A Choice of Nightmares by Lynn Kostoff is up at spinetingler.

Give it a gander HERE.

Why the fuck does Kostoff only have three books out?

I mean, that's one more than the similarly brilliant Kent Anderson, but still.

Bad Juju & Other Tales of Madness and Mayhem by Jonathan Woods

My review of Bad Juju & Other Tales of Madness and Mayhem by Jonathan Woods is up at spinetingler.

Check that shit out HERE.

If you like your crime like your orange juice - with extra pulp - then this shit is for you.

Yes, I just wrote that hacky fucking phrase. Apologies all around.

The Killer Inside Me by Michael Winterbottom

My review of The Killer Inside Me, Michael Winterbottom's adaptation of Jim Thompson's novel, is up at spinetingler.

Check that shit out here.

It's not as good as the book, but then again, when is that the case?

Oh wait - I used that line yesterday...

Winter's Bone by Debra Granik

My review of Winter's Bone, director Debra Granik's adaptation of Daniel Woodrell's novel, is up at spinetingler.

Check that shit out HERE.

Enjoyed the hell out of it, but naturally: the book's better.

But name for me a case - other than The Godfather, thank you very much - where the old saying isn't true as all hell.

Infamous by Ace Atkins

My review of Infamous by Ace Atkins is up at spinetingler.

Check that shit out HERE.

This is the first of his novels that yours truly has read.

Anybody got any suggestions on where to go next?
