The man who gave us Leprechaun (and the lesser known but every bit as dopey Rumplestiltskin) is back with a brand new creation, and it's every bit the idiosyncratic mix of tepid horror and lamebrained humor you'd expect. But don't go in expecting your typical killer ventriloquist dummy movie. Watch Movies Online for Free on 10StarMovies.

In the forest wilds of the western US, a group of intrepid researchers prepare for a three day hike into uncharted territory in order to solve one of the greatest enigmas in history. They are looking for fossils that will corroborate the North American existence of an ancient primate thought to have lived only in China. The group consists of four forest rangers, two paleontology professors, a grad student, and a former ranger; all are experts in their respective fields. The group successfully reaches a site just outside their intended destination on the third night of the trip, and set up camp in a clearing. Upon awakening the next day they realize they have slept in an ancient graveyard. At first elated by their find, the group soon learns that something is after them, and one of them is attacked by a huge creature while looking for a missing group member. They immediately set their course homeward, but their adversary is in close pursuit; will any of the team make it back alive? Watch Movies Online for Free on 10StarMovies.

Raising the subtext of "Fight Club'' into text, "Shiner'' depicts a pair of amateur boxers gratified by punching each others' lights out. Theirs is among a trio of twisted love stories in the narrative feature by 29-year-old Los Angeles director Christian Calson. There's also a woman literally fighting her male lover's affections and another boxer who stalks his own shy male stalker. "Shiner'' transcends sadomasochism in that no one seems aware of what he or she is doing. "I'm trying to look at desire head on,'' the soft-spoken Calson said by telephone. "('Shiner') is about the politics of wanting and being wanted and how people respond differently.'' Rife with ugly behavior, "Shiner'' rejects the trend of queer filmmakers seeking straight understanding. "In L.A., we have this kind of sadness we carry around, that the only way we can make gay stories is by making more like 'Will and Grace,' '' Calson said. Like the activist-filmmakers tackling the marriage issue, Calson went into "Shiner'' with clear results in mind. "I want people to respond on a visceral level,'' he said. "I'm not after their minds, I'm after their gut. ... I'm not trying to make friends with this film.'' (from an article on the Frameline 28 Film Festival) Watch Movies Online for Free on 10StarMovies.
