Zack and Miri Make A Porno (2008) Movie Review

Well, they did it to me again. They snuck in another romantic comedy. However, this is a whole new breed of romantic comedy. Much better than the usual type. This one might be a little harder to convince your girlfriend/spouse to watch since it is technically about “making a prono”. It was a hilarious movie! [...]

Howard the Duck (1986) Review

Howard the Duck Review – A Movie Quacktacular! Ridiculously unbelievable? Yes, of course. Entertaining though! Many people have ridiculed me for actually liking this movie for years. To them I say, Quack Off! It is an entertaining and at times funny movie. It is about a duck from another planet where evolution started with an [...]

My Best Friend’s Girlfriend (2008) Review

I didn’t set out wanting to watch this movie. I just happened to catch part of it one night. The part I caught was the wedding scenes. I sort of like Dane Cook’s stand-up comedy, and I saw Good Luck Chuck and liked it. So, when I saw the wedding scene I had to find [...]

Undead or Alive (2007) Movie Review and Video Clip

I saw this movie listed in my DirecTV program guide, and saw James Denton and Chris Kattan as its stars. It made me very curious to see what it was all about. Just remember that saying about curiosity and a cat. It is one of the worst movies I have ever seen, BUT it had [...]

The Breakfast Club Review

The Breakfast Club fast became the quintessential teen movie since its 1985 release. John Hughes, quite frankly, was a genius. You will see me review many of his movies as this blog site goes on. The most amazing part of it all is that the entire film consists of just 5 characters/actors and two supporting [...]

Midnight Meat Train takes no passengers

CLIVE Barker hasn’t enjoyed a hell of a lot of success in recent times when it comes to how his stories have been adapted for the screen. The horror author’s works provided the basis for a string of feature film hits in the late 1980s and early ’90s – Hellraiser(1987), which was based on the [...]

No Vacancy allowed for pathetic Wilson

Luke Wilson, what the hell are you doing man!? You really need to have a serious talk to your agent.

Sick, twisted, Funny Games is enjoyable

Funny Games is a disturbing, and at times frustrating and infuriating, but overall entertaining thriller, which is probably just the result German writer-director Michael Haneke wanted. A scene-for-scene remake of Haneke’s own original 1997 Austrian-made version, it stars two seasoned campaigners in Naomi Watts, who also co-produced, and Tim Roth as … well, let me [...]

Wanted film adaptation has desired effect

What would The Matrix be if you replaced Laurence Fishburne with Morgan Freeman and killer machines with daddy abandonment issues? The answer is Wanted.

Miller’s poor direction haunts The Spirit

As creator of such classic graphic novels as 300, Sin City and The Dark Knight Returns, Frank Miller is a true legend in his field – and he should stay there! Under no circumstances should he be allowed anywhere near the making of a movie, let alone directing it. In 2005, Miller co-helmed the first [...]

Abrams’ Enterprise bargaining pays off

I’ve never been much of a Star Trek fan. Always been in the Star Wars camp when it came to picking sci-fi sides. You could say I know more about tractor beams than transporter beams. But, having just watched the new Star Trek film, I’m thinking about swapping teams. Trading in my light sabre for [...]

Taken on a fast and furious rescue mission

Bryan Mills could not have asked for a better way to get his cold-hearted bitch of an ex-wife off his back and at the same time reconnect with his teenage daughter. In Taken (2008), Mills (Liam Neeson) is a retired CIA operative who must spring back into action in order to save 17-year-old Kim (Maggie [...]

Uwe’s Seed spawns Boll full of disgust

It just gets worse. I’ve seen three Uwe Boll films now. Three too many. I actually rented Alone in the Dark (2005), starring the washed-up Christian Slater and sagging Tara Reid, a few years back, and then stumbled across House of the Dead (2003) last year on late-night television. You’d think I would’ve learnt after [...]

The movie that made this viewer sigh

Not sure about it being The Day The Earth Stood Still. It may have been still but it was more due to the fact it was put to sleep. While it was getting late in the evening, I found myself dozing off towards the end of watching this extremely lacklustre remake of the 1951 classic [...]

In Bruges. Glad to have visited

Don’t be too fooled by the ice-cream. In Bruges is a quirky black comedy with an emphasis on the black. In fact, it is a film that possesses the darkest of undertones. At the core of the movie is the accidental death of an innocent child at the hand of a hit-man, which poses the question: [...]

Quarantine locks in chills, keeps out frills

FOR a movie I really only grabbed off the DVD shelf ’cause there was absolutely nothing else worth picking up, Quarantine was a surprisingly good scare flick. I had heard very little about the film so certainly wasn’t getting my hopes as far as a finished product goes. But the film, from director John Erick Dowdle, [...]

Bank on The Lookout for a thrilling ride

FOR a young actor who made his name playing an alien in 133 episodes of the quirky television sit-com 3rd Rock from the Sun, Joseph Gordon-Levitt is coming of age by portraying some very human characters on the big screen. While thankfully steering well and truly clear of the dreaded teen heart-throb path he could easily have [...]

Just one moment for clown Amusement

Can one scene make a movie? Not usually, and it certainly didn’t make low-budget straight-to-DVD horror Amusement. But there is one moment in this run-of-the-mill scare flick that could be classified as a genuine spine-chiller. Especially if you have an aversion to those things that dress-up in shiny colorful outfits, wear ridiculous make-up, sport crazy-ass [...]

Doomsday has all the right ingredients

Neil Marshall’s Doomsday could be likened to a good stew. What he’s done is got a big pot and thrown in large amounts of Escape from New York and the Mad Max sequels The Road Warrior and Beyond Thunderdome, before topping it off with dashes of 28 Days Later, Resident Evil, Aliens and The Warriors. Oh, and there’s a [...]

Coen Brothers’ Burn so hot right now

How good are those Coen Brothers? Well, bloody good, and I mean bloody. After what seemed a mid-career crisis when they were buying red sports cars and making films like Intolerable Cruelty (2003) and The LadyKillers (2004), the Brothers are not just back but taking their unquestioned brilliance to new levels. Proving to be the curent day masters [...]
