Have a nice hunk of exploitation movie pie with this cult classic from legendary producer Roger Corman. All the ingredients are here: sex, violence and action. Don’t be fooled by the toned down, dare I say, politically correct imitator that starred Jason Statham. This is the original with David Carradine as reigning race champ “Frankenstein” who is pitted against none other than Sly Stallone as “Machine Gun Joe” in a futuristic (well, at the time) cross country race where the object of the game is to run over as many people as possible before you get to the finish line. Sound crazy? It is!

From the opening scene, Rango shows it deserved the Academy Award win for Best Animated Feature Film of the Year. The masterminds at ILM created a world that is brightly animated and visually stunning. The story is unique, the characters are quirky, and it’s an enjoyable film for the entire family. If you’re interesting in the making of Rango, check out interviews with director Gore Verbinski and star Johnny Depp and EPIX’s original behind the scenes special, Rango & ILM: Perfect Asymmetry.

Kevin Smith is back at it in Austin! In a marathon Q&A session with fans, Kevin talks about everything from which Batman villain he would be, to the controversial Phelps family whose followers travelled around the country picketing his film Red State. It’s Smith’s endearing self-deprecation and humble belief that anybody can do what he does all bundled in a hilarious little package that makes this comedy special worth watching.

Christina Ricci makes her first splash in movies, and Winona Ryder is sweet and (not so) innocent in this 1990 Dramedy. Set in the early 1960s, Cher plays Rachel Flax, the free-spirited and unorthodox mother who relocates her daughters every time she attracts scandal (which is often). Rachel’s eldest daughter Charlotte (Ryder) is obsessed with becoming the World’s Best Catholic, even though she is Jewish. Mom is unconventional; daughter belongs in a convent. Yet their roles may switch when Charlotte falls for the handsome caretaker of the convent. Will God forgive what happens when religious dogma is overpowered by teenage hormones?

What better way to get pumped up for Marvel’s The Avengers, than by watching Iron Man 2? Robert Downey Jr. returns as billionaire Tony Stark, but this time around his villainous competition is played by Mickey Rourke aka Whiplash. Other newcomers include Don Cheadle, who kicks major ass as War Machine, and Scarlet Johansson, who plays an excellent Black Widow. Throw in Sam Rockwell and a little Samuel L. Jackson, and you’ve got a mega-blockbuster that explodes off the screen and into your living room.

Comedians and musicians come out to celebrate their right to say whatever the hell they want in New York City’s legendary Radio City Music Hall for Amnesty International's 50th Anniversary live broadcast of The Secret Policeman's Ball. It's a great mix of big names like Jon Stewart, Bill Hader, Seth Meyers, David Cross, Kristen Wiig, and Coldplay and newcomers like Hannibal Buress, Mumford & Sons, and Jack Whitehall. The best part is that this show is exclusive to EPIX, so comedy and music nerds like me can rest assured it's all new.

It's the original, absolutely classic 80’s slasher flick that’s a must see for any self respecting horror fan. Besides the usual blood and guts this one has an original song to go along with the scares! Here’s a little taste to set things up and get you in the mood: The Ballad of Harry Warden, Words & Music by: Paul Zaza. “Once upon a time, on a sad Valentine/in a place known as Henniger Mine./A legend began, every woman and man,/would always remember the time…"
