Random Movie: Zombieland (2009)
Well, lookie what we have here! Another horror movie that successfully combines scares, tension, and humor. While initially it seemed odd to have another horror-comedy in the zombie sub-genre after the wildly successful Shaun of the Dead, Zombieland is extremely well done to stand alongside its cinematic sibling without infringing on it. Prior to meeting our [...]

Random Movie: Hatchet (2006)
Adam Green sure has been busy lately between the premiere of his newest film Frozen at Sundance this week as well as wrapping up filming of Hatchet 2, the sequel of today’s random entry. When Hatchet first surfaced a few years ago, the biggest draw for me was the marketing for the film as a [...]

Random Movie: The Faculty (1998)
The mid-nineties were an interesting time to be a horror fan. Since the old franchise favorites of Freddy and Jason were long gone with Michael Myers soon following, they were replaced by direct-to-video nonsense and faux-horror such as Hideaway or The Island of Dr. Moreau. Then came along Kevin Williamson, a guy who could write [...]

Random Movie: Avatar (2009)
No one can deny that the trucker turned film-maker James Cameron has been one of Hollywood’s biggest movers and shakers of the last several decades. Movies like Aliens, The Abyss, and Terminator 2 have not only cemented Cameron’s name in the halls of movie history, but were also big parts of my childhood, shaping [...]

Random Movie: G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra (2009)
This movie is a piece of shit. I am actually angry at it. I am angry that it looked at me in the face, and had the balls to fucking show me the things it showed me. You want to know where I rank this movie in it’s genre? In the same bracket as Super [...]

Sleeping with the Director
Posted on 07 February 2010
Man, Julia Roberts sure is ugly. Not that being ugly has anything to do with talent. Man, Julia Roberts is not talented. Sorry if you Googled yourself and found this, Julia. Sleeping with the Enemy is on right now, which I have seen a couple of times. I am not sure why. I mean it isn’t [...] Continue Reading

Stretch Armstrong and the End of the World
Posted on 06 February 2010
Children of my generation should either be feeling very nostalgic or very pissed. In the past few years, we have had cinematic resurrections of once popular entities such as Transformers and G.I. Joe, both to rather lukewarm (or downright angry) reception. It was reported a couple of years ago that toymaker Hasbro had partnered with [...] Continue Reading

At Least Use The Starship Song
Posted on 31 January 2010
I saw Mannequin in the theater. They are going to reboot this film. It better have Johnathan Silverman in it. For as you can see, the first one had Andrew McCarthy, and the second had Terry Kiser. So, in order to complete the Triumvirate, a reboot, remake or sequel, it must have Johnathan Silverman. Sadly, I [...] Continue Reading

Best Scene: Maniac Cop 2
Posted on 30 January 2010
I was going to write a random review of Maniac Cop 2, but I figured why bother? Most people probably have never even heard of it nor will ever see the series even though it features such talent as Bruce Campbell, Robert Davi, and Tom Atkins. As I previously noted, there is no North American [...] Continue Reading

Bernie Returns? PBF is Going to be Mad
Posted on 28 January 2010
Now, there are not very many details at this point so it is possible that this is just an empty threat from Hollywood, but Moviehole states Bernie Lomax may be resurrected to then die and pretend to be alive in a remake to PBF’s beloved ultimate comfort movie Weekend at Bernie’s. Could this be the [...] Continue Reading

Avatar: Unfortunate Victim of the Titanic Effect
Posted on 28 January 2010
As you might have already heard, Avatar has smashed box office records, overtaking Titanic with a current worldwide gross of $1.8 billion as of this post. As it currently enjoys an 82% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, the perceived experience of seeing Avatar in an 3D screening has seemingly overpowered some of the reported flaws of [...] Continue Reading
