Dog Eat Dog is one hell of a fun film, albeit so chock full of obvious influences as to almost be considered derivative. Featuring a couple of plotlines destined to be commingled as the film crescendoes to a violent finale reminiscent of the Quentin Tarantino-penned True Romance, it’s easy to see the influence of QT and the Coen Brothers on Moreno’s work. But Moreno, who also co-wrote the screenplay, manages to infuse Dog Eat Dog with his own flavor, a flavor that admittedly has not come full circle yet.

Ken Russell’s The Devils – 2010 Fantasia International Film Festival

Iconic director Ken Russell was in town to receive a lifetime achievement award from Fantasia for his 50-plus years in the business, a career that has spawned many genre classics including Altered States, Gothic, and The Lair of the White Worm. But it was the little-seen and hard to find The Devils from 1971 that proved to be Russell's most controversial work, and Fantasia managed to snag a copy to be screened on Russell's big night. In the video, Russell discusses the true story behind the film and receives his award with the grace befitting one of the great filmmakers of all time.
