“Advice for GI Joe viewing: Go into it like your gettin' on a roller coaster. Don’t think about it just check your brain at the door and enjoy the ride. ”


After seeing The Rise of Cobra, I find myself in the middle of the road on whether or not I liked it. I think it boils down to perspective. If I take the adult perspective, I would say the pace made it fun but overall it was extremely mediocre in substance. On the other hand, if I put myself in the ...

“Fright Night is an odd mixture of horror and comedy.”


Not the greatest horror film of all time, but definitely adequate. It's an odd mixture of classic vampire horror stirred in with a little comedy. It's definitely scary, but at times it's pretty funny. A predecessor, if you will, of more modern comedy horror films like Shaun of the Dead and Bubba Ho ...

“Shyamalan has built a career on the twist ending, and The Sixth Sense is by far his best work.”


Shyamalan has built a career on the twist ending, and The Sixth Sense is by far his best work. The problem with most films that play off a twist is that they are too subtle and the ending makes no sense, or they aren't subtle enough and the twist is too obvious. In the Sixth Sense, Shyamalan nails t...

“The anticipation of "what's around the corner" is what truly gives this film it's edge. That and the relentless, remorseless, souless, psychotic, sister seeking mass murderer with the cool halloween mask and long knife.”


What makes the original Halloween so good, unlike the braindead Rob Zombie bloodfest version, is that it's simple and methodically paced. Amazingly enough, John Carpenter's Halloween is horrifying, but almost bloodless. Carpenter builds the tension/terror flawlessly, and the anticipation of "what's ...

“I know it's cliche' to say "worst movie ever", but I really think this film deserves that title. Actually, I think this film is listed medically as one of the causes of migraine headaches.”


I have a general rule that I don't review films I haven't seen in their entirety, and I have to be honest here. I have seen all of Son of the Mask, but never all at one time. This movie is so bad that I have found it virtually impossible to sit through more than 30 minute segments. It's just painful...

“If you’re looking for a seriously depressing film with absolutely no brevity, whatsoever, but with a good story, then rent Hollywoodland.”


From first glance, this film appears to be about the life and death of George Reeves, who played Superman in the very popular 50’s television series. In actuality, the film is more about the private detective Louis Simo, who becomes obsessed with finding out the truth behind George Reeves' alleged...

“For a film that only cost $30 grand and made $140 milllion, the Blair Witch Project is one of the greatest examples of pure marketing genius, ever.”


For a film that only cost $30 grand and made $140 milllion, the Blair Witch Project is one of the greatest examples of pure marketing genius, ever. The marketing plan was simple: spread the rumor over the internet that this film was made from discovered real life footage taken by a college film crew...

“What's tolerable about nightmares is that in reality the dreamer has full control, but what if that control is taken away and given to a sadistic supernatural serial killer hell-bent on revenge?”


What's tolerable about nightmares is that in reality the dreamer has full control, but what if that control is taken away and given to a sadistic supernatural serial killer hell-bent on revenge? And what if that control allows him the ability to kill you not only in your dreams but also in reality? ...
