My first question going into this film was; Does anyone rent videotapes anymore? Do kids these days even know what they are? Alright, that was two questions. And for the movie to work you really have to suspend that disbelief. Let me back up, there is some more disbelief you…

I’ll be the first to admit that I have not been a big proponent of a new Indiana Jones movie. I think “Last Crusade” is just a rehash of the far superior “Raiders”, and I really didn’t want to have my wonderful memories of my favorite movie hero to be…

28 Days Later x Mad Max (Escape From New York) + Lara Croft = Doomsday Sound cool? Hell yeah it does. Neil Marshall is one of those directors that I will watch anything he does just because he did it (there are only a few of those). Every since a buddy lent me a copy…

The folks at /Film have gotten their paws on some production notes for Cloverfield wherein we gets us some more clues about the Big Bad Baby in Cloverfield. Really, it’s a baby. JJ says so himself. And the movie is a love story. A fucking love story? Please. Reeves also skillfully interweaves…

I love “Fight Club”. I’m a huge fan of Chuck Palahniuk’s work; so much so that I know how to spell his name without looking it up. (He’s the guy that wrote the book “Fight Club” by the way.) He’s got some other amazing books that should have been made…
