I have seen this film quite a few times and each time I am left with a different overall opinion. I am always left feeling impressed with Anthony Hopkins as Hannibal Lecter but that I prefer the more openly psychotic portrayal from Brian Cox in Manhunter. Jodie Foster, fresh from her [...]

Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines had the unenviable task of following two of the most successful and critically acclaimed Sci-Fi films of all time. Regardless of what this had to offer it was on to a beating from the point of its conception. This is a special effects playground and [...]

Standard Operating Procedure, directed by Errol Morris, is a documentary film which covers the events surrounding the widely publicized mistreatment of prisoners in Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq.

Two stoners find themselves on the run after one of them witnesses a drug-lord murdering a business rival. James Franco plays drug-dealer Saul Silver and Seth Rogen pretty much plays himself but for the sake of this review his character is named Dale Denton. I must point out that I believe there’s a difference [...]
2008 finished with three WWII films (Miracle at St. Anna, Boy in the Striped Pajamas, and Valkyrie), and 2009 continues the trend with Defiance. Even though Striped Pajamas had the least amount of action, I would say it was by far the strongest of the four films with Defiance coming in a close 2nd. But [...]
Utter the words Indiana Jones and immediately everybody knows what you’re talking about. You’re talking about fast-paced, globe-trotting quests for long-lost artifacts, ancient deathtraps and amazing action sequences. But most importantly, you’re talking about a cinematic icon who has become a household name for any film buff. From the fedora hat to the bullwhip, Indiana [...]
“Cloverfield”, the high-profile monster movie produced by Master of Mystery J.J. Abrahms, has been on DVD for a few months now. And if you were one of the many who caught the film in theaters back at the beginning of the year, then more likely it’s already in your DVD library. However, for those of [...]
No movie in recent years has poked fun at, mocked and downright dragged the good name of Hollywood through the mud, laughing all the way quite like “Tropic Thunder”. In a time when theaters are overpopulated by comedies that somehow have Judd Apatow’s name attached to them, “Tropic Thunder” is Apatow-free, but it still retains [...]
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 will need to be [...]
Well, it’s finally here kiddies. Months of anticipation, meted out through a now infamous viral campaign, and what do we have to show for it? A big fucking monster movie. That’s pretty much exactly what I wanted. Were all of our questions answered? No. Like, what the bleeding hell is Slusho, and why should I [...]
Hey guys, sorry this wasn’t posted yesterday, Christmas done caught up with me.
What can you say about a movie that has revenge, secret identities, cannibalism and more throat slashings than your local meat packing plant? When it’s directed by dreary genius Tim Burton and starring his two favorite muses in Johnny Depp and (Burton’s lady, [...]
