Splice: “What’s the worst that could happen?”
Jun 5th @ 7:54PM
You could see this movie, THAT is the worst that could happen. I’m not going to over exaggerate and say that your spouse leaving you, your dog dying and your truck getting stolen would still be a better fate than watching Splice, but country songs really should be written about this movie. The hope was that this movie would [...]
Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time
Jun 1st @ 2:40PM
My wife and I saw this movie over the weekend. I went in with mixed feelings, not really expecting much. Which worked out beautifully since this movie delivered. Directed by Mike Newell (who most recently did the fifth Harry Potter movie) and based off of the long running and famous video game series, Prince of [...]
The Thing (1982)
May 14th @ 8:32PM
This movie, in the almost thirty years since release, has become a critical favorite among the sci-fi horror genre. It has an 80% on Rotten Tomatoes (if you don’t know, that’s pretty good), is in the top 200 on IMDB at 164 and finally received critical acclaim across the board despite poor initial reception. You can still [...]
The Not So Infallible Iron Man (2)
May 7th @ 2:05PM
As far as comic book movies go, the Iron Man series is by far the best Hollywood has done. Some of you might cry foul pointing at the new Batman movies, but Batman Begins and The Dark Knight are just too high cinema to put them in the same realm. It’s more that Christopher Nolan [...]
“First there was darkness…”
Apr 30th @ 6:00AM
…then came the strangers. From director Alex Proyas, who has brought us some very good sci-fi (The Crow, I, Robot and Knowing), comes this gloomy tale about aliens searching for the human soul and a man who shows them what it is. Dark City came out the year prior to The Matrix release and from [...]
The Truly “Forbidden Planet”
Apr 23rd @ 6:00AM
This is perhaps one of the better science fiction movies ever made, despite it being released in 1956, with now campy special effects, cheesy character development and predictable plot. Predictability mainly comes from the general structure of the story having been used in all sorts of other movies. In fact, Forbidden Planet is based loosely on Shakespeare’s The Tempest. [...]
Something to Avoid: Splice
Apr 13th @ 6:00AM
A grave error has been made. A mistake that is practically unforgivable. A film that should never have made it out of the fim festival circuit actually got picked up by Warner Bros and is slated for a summer release date, with tons of “hype” behind it. The movie we’re talking about, the movie that [...]
A Lonely Trash Compactor
Mar 12th @ 6:00AM
So the other day, I was watching my little girl while my wife was out. With nothing to do, I decided I might as well introduce her to my favorite Pixar movie, Wall-E. But, since I’d seen it a million times, I watched it with commentary by director Andrew Stanton. This was a major treat, [...]
