11-11-11 Movie review

11-11-11 Movie review UGH! That is my review of this film. Three letters, one word, one feeling – UGH! Man alive, I tell you what, I dragged my girlfriend to a dumpy mall an hour and a half away from where we live to see what I thought would be a creepy little movie only… Continue reading 11-11-11 Movie review

The Coffin – review

   Something American films have never gotten right when it comes to modern ghost stories is the sense of dread that the rest of the world, especially in Asia, have nailed even in the worst of their films. There is something that perhaps we have lost in American culture, the reverence and fear of the… Continue reading The Coffin – review

Movie Shorts

Darn these movie shorts are riding up on me. Shark Night Good, ridiculous fun that is utterly brainless and knows it. Great crowd movie. Makes me feel like an 'uncut' version is waiting in the wings to be released on video. Hmm. Make sure to watch after the credits. WOW! 6.5 out of 10  … Continue reading Movie Shorts

Asylum Seekers–review

   It is really a shame that for most directors and filmmakers the only time in their careers that they have the freedom to experiment with storytelling because I think we the audience lose out on a lot of really interesting work. Alas, the perception, and perhaps reality, is that general audiences don’t want to… Continue reading Asylum Seekers–review

Five Across The Eyes – review

    I am writing a very, very, very brief review of this because it really doesn’t deserve more than that. I don’t like to be mean about things connected to the arts because most people that do this stuff do it for passion and for love. Sure, make money, some make a LOT of money,… Continue reading Five Across The Eyes – review

Solomon Kane – review

So, tell my why it is that we get so many ridiculous films released in the United States yet when there’s a funky or interesting film made overseas we tend to ignore it or remake it? Such is the case with the film adaptation of the classic adventure novels by Robert E. Howard, Solomon Kane.… Continue reading Solomon Kane – review

Strangers Online – review

With the saturation of social networking people are able to update everything they are doing, everything they are, revealing even the most intimate details of their lives, at a moment’s notice. Add to this the fact that most computers and phones have photo and video capabilities so the boundaries we had lived with for so… Continue reading Strangers Online – review

The Vanishing on 7th St. – review

   I shall leave this as a short little review as the movie served only to frustrate me terribly. It’s awfully annoying to find a movie with a good idea, talent, and the tools to make a good film only to have them all squandered.    When a mysterious blackout makes people all over Detroit… Continue reading The Vanishing on 7th St. – review

Dawning–review

   With the smaller indie horror films few things make me happier than a movie that knows its limitations. I have griped about this time and again but it never gets old with me – if you can’t afford to do something in your movie then just don’t do it. Don’t try to do something… Continue reading Dawning–review

The Anniversary at Shallow Creek–movie review

The Anniversary At Shallow Creek The problem with trends in horror is that, well, they become trends. It isn’t always a bad thing as it happens with every aspect of the entertainment industry – you produce what sells. The hope you have as a consumer is that the work produced is good. Or at least… Continue reading The Anniversary at Shallow Creek–movie review

Zombie Girl–The Movie –movie review

It is interesting that in the many, many years I have been blogging I have never really gotten into the days of my youth when my friends and I would make movies. We were late in our teens, bored, and loved movies. Ours were impromptu, ad-lib things that were high on ideas passion and low… Continue reading Zombie Girl–The Movie –movie review

Blades – review

Blades It's hard to admit but sometimes there are movies that just stump you. You watch them, follow the story the best you can, you stick with the thing but darned if you just can't get the groove of the thing. Such was the case of Blades, a movie that was so obvious that I… Continue reading Blades – review

Confederate States of America – review

This is a quick little review because I don't necessarily have a lot to say about the film. This is a satirical faux-documentary (mockumentary, if you prefer) that details the history of an America where the South won the Civil War. Framed like a Ken Burns documentary we pick the story up during the Civil… Continue reading Confederate States of America – review
