Star Trek Into Darkness

reviewed on May 20th, 2013 08:53PM

Visionary director J.J. Abrams never disappoints. Within his own style, he has created some of the most original works in storytelling to ever grace the big and small screens. The kind of stories and characters that always captivate and involve su...

Aftershock

reviewed on May 13th, 2013 09:44PM

There's no doubt that Eli Roth is a sick puppy. Given his brand of horror hitting the mainstream years ago, there's almost something uniquely depraved about it. You get the feeling that the kind of world he tries to unveil to us, is one we wouldn'...

Oblivion

reviewed on April 24th, 2013 10:39PM

The first statement I have to put out there is simple - Oblivion is one dazzling, stunning, grand, mysterious, impactful and immensely satisfying film. The kind of roller-coaster ride that utilizes every single trick there is in the book to give y...

Evil Dead

Most would agree that the original "Evil Dead" was a grandstanding step towards horror's inevitable prosperous evolution. While there were plenty of hard-hitting franchise players still making their marks around that time, with Evil Dead there was...

G.I. Joe: Retaliation

The Call

reviewed on March 20th, 2013 08:48PM

Considerably, "The Call" manages to accomplish something I never knew could be done -- displaying, examining, and humanizing that particular voice (or voices) at the other end of the 911 call that people have made in various films for decades. And...

Dead Man Down

reviewed on March 11th, 2013 08:13PM

You'll have to excuse me as I state the obvious -- I adore stories where the main drive, themes, plot, and motivations for the characters is revenge. While the movie-going public seems to not know how awesome these types of films truly are, there'...

Snitch

reviewed on February 28th, 2013 09:32PM

The story surrounding "Snitch" is simplistic yet sports elements and themes that anyone can take a little something out of. While not a straight-ahead action film, it still works as a dramatic thriller that's great with the performances and realis...

A Good Day to Die Hard

reviewed on February 14th, 2013 09:37PM

The Watch

reviewed on November 19th, 2012 06:19PM

You can tell by the end credits that "The Watch" is one of those types of films that didn't really have much thought put into it. In a way, its just a vehicle for Ben Stiller, Vince Vaughn, and Jonah Hill to act as crazy as they can and be justifi...

Total Recall

After watching the abysmal "Stolen" I can't help but to ask with a certain disdain, "How is Cage still getting work?" I mean, I know this is mean of me, but I don't really care at this moment, as this was one of Cage's worst films since the last o...

Skyfall

Taken 2

reviewed on October 15th, 2012 10:09PM

Unnecessary sequels are often times a mixed bag of appropriation. While some films have more story to create and/or unravel, others are definitely one-shot ponies. Which is why when a sequel comes out to a one-shot pony, it helps to just give an a...

Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance

Wrath of the Titans

reviewed on October 5th, 2012 10:21PM

Let's be honest with ourselves here; "Clash of the Titans" wasn't the best in terms of story, performances, and over-all relevance. But it was way better than this. Allow me to explain. This film feels just downright uncompleted. I mean serious...

While this was a phenomenal effort by director Adam Green, I have to put it out there that the finished product just didn't do it all the way for me. Even though its a scary and suspenseful ride that really makes the most out of its premise, I cou...

The Fighter

reviewed on January 6th, 2011 10:56PM

Well....This was certainly a memorable surprise. Everyone has been raving about this underdog story since its release, and to be fair, I wasn't convinced it was anything spectacular. The unfortunate truth at hand is every boxing film will forever ...

The Other Guys

reviewed on January 4th, 2011 11:44PM

What I noticed the most while watching this film is that everyone sort of played further extensions of what they're best known for in earlier works. Exaggerated performances and plenty of stupid lines made for the notion of hilarity. That's not t...

Buried

reviewed on January 3rd, 2011 11:29PM

Many critics and movie goers alike have agreed that "Buried" is exactly the kind of film Alfred Hitchcock would make if he didn't pass away. I am likely to concur with that statement, as this films concept and execution displays all the attributes...

The Social Network

reviewed on January 2nd, 2011 08:48PM

When it comes to a creation that'll change the world, or in this case the world wide web, there's almost always a saga behind it. People are always betrayed, Lives are always ruined, while someone usually comes out on top at the end for better or ...

Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps

reviewed on December 31st, 2010 09:33AM

It's good to see Micheal Douglas back in one of the roles that made him a household name. Considering that his latest films have been less than acceptable, Douglas comes back into full form as the ruthless Gecko, showing us that he still has what ...

Black Swan

reviewed on December 30th, 2010 11:34PM

From beginning to end "Black Swan" is absolutely beautiful and haunting. From start to finish this story of passion and madness puts you right in the shoes of our protagonist who must contend with everything around her, while tapping into her own ...

Tron: Legacy

reviewed on December 29th, 2010 10:16PM

Nostalgia and Immense excitement ran through every facet of my body as I finally sat down to the most anticipated sequel to the cult phenomenon "Tron," which to this day I have much respect and admiration for since it was one of the very first sci...

And Soon the Darkness

reviewed on December 26th, 2010 08:56AM

Fantasy and Sci-fi Legend Karl Urban, hottie Odette Yustman, and newly lesbianized Amber Heard star in this very taut and suspenseful cautionary tale of what not to do and watch out for when being in a foreign country. First off I will say that...

Piranha 3D

reviewed on December 26th, 2010 06:41AM

Director Alexandre Aja takes his demented sense of horror with this feature of merciless carnage. Yet instead of involving mutants in the desert or demons in mirrors, it happens to be piranhas in the water. From start to finish this film is pretty...

Devil

reviewed on December 26th, 2010 02:10AM

M.Night has some brilliant ideas but his execution leaves much to be desired quite often. Yet this first entry of "The Night Chronicles" is not only well-executed but pretty fuckin scary too. Not only did this feature convey everything you'd come ...

Unstoppable

reviewed on November 16th, 2010 01:43AM

Even though this feature is being completely overshadowed by the suckage of "Skyline," Which I seriously don't understand, it's still a pretty enjoyable and exciting ride. Director Tony Scott teams up with long-time regular Denzel Washington and n...

Splice

reviewed on October 25th, 2010 04:18AM

Playing God never works out for anyone involved. This is the number one lesson "Splice" conveys better than anything else. This film does a subtle job to not only showing you this lesson, (And making you wonder if such a thing is happening in real...

The Grudge

reviewed on October 24th, 2010 11:48AM

You know when you watch a horror film and its scary, tense, freaky, atmospheric, riddled with dread and completely memorable? You naturally assume that once you visit such a film again it would still have at least some of these attributes still in...

Otis

reviewed on October 24th, 2010 12:26AM

It can be very tough to blend two such genres as horror and comedy. At times these elements shouldn't be anywhere near each other as to not cancel each other out, resulting in a bad movie, yet sometimes they do seem to come together quite adamantl...

P2

reviewed on October 12th, 2010 08:51AM

P2 was an amiable surprise on all sides of the thriller spectrum. It was a slow cooker of a movie that manages to grab you up and hold onto you through its runtime, throwing intense moments of dismay, suspense and crimson your way, almost rewardin...

Paranormal Activity

reviewed on October 11th, 2010 07:59AM

I've never been so half and half toward a film in my entire life. On one hand I feel like this movie can easily be categorized as one of the scariest films ever made, but on the other hand, This movie has some things I simply can't fucking stand. ...

Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning

reviewed on October 10th, 2010 10:10AM

What makes this installment to the infamous franchise a little different from the others is the idea of knowing that this is the titular "The Beginning," and thereby isn't really weighed down with the mystery of who will survive and who won't. Sin...

House of the Dead

reviewed on October 8th, 2010 12:12PM

Why would I even put myself through this? I must be a glutton for punishment or something because this was pushing me. My best friend told me that he was curious to see if "House of the dead" was the disease-ridded whore of cinema I made it out to...

Supernova

reviewed on October 7th, 2010 05:26AM

I can't deny how fun this flick is. Clocking in 90 minutes this film doesn't over-stay its welcome and tosses you right into the story on minute one. While some critics and movie-goers have categorized this film as "Event Horizon"-lite, I can say ...

Surveillance

reviewed on October 6th, 2010 08:39AM

This film is a lot less intricate than the trailers and advertisements would like you to believe, but its still a pretty engrossing watch. It works on a variety of levels but what's more adamant here is how effectively this movie grabs you up. Som...

Ghost Ship

reviewed on October 5th, 2010 12:22PM

I can understand why "GhostShip" made the money it did back in 2002 when it was released. This film tries its BEST to be completely different from the rest of the "This place is Haunted" story-lines. And while some of it works, most of it misses t...

The Haunting in Connecticut

reviewed on October 5th, 2010 11:43AM

In order to fully enjoy "The Haunting in Connecticut" you have to let go of one nagging question that will no doubt rattle in your brain throughout its runtime. Now I normally let things like this go in order to see where story takes me, but despi...

Deadgirl

reviewed on October 3rd, 2010 05:39AM

This is one sick and twisted puppy Ladies and gentlemen. One that will no doubt stay in your mind for awhile or leave it completely once the credits roll to save yourself the trouble of nightmares. I first heard about "Deadgirl" while searching fo...

Sword of the Stranger

reviewed on October 2nd, 2010 09:35AM

Considering that everyone on this site talks about Pixar films more than any animation company, its easy to forget even with the latest installments coming out, that anime has still been going strong all this time, pumping out shows and films afte...

Severance

reviewed on October 1st, 2010 11:37PM

Ah the British..they certainly do know how to blend the genres, do they? I had been waiting for a long while to watch "Severance" since I heard of it a few years ago. Honestly, I don't know why it took me so long to take this film on because it wa...

Case 39

reviewed on September 26th, 2010 01:26AM

I write this review for anyone who may be interested in seeing this flick before it comes out in theaters here soon. I'm going to try and be as honest as possible so anyone reading will know the real-deal before spending their money. I will sta...

Resident Evil: Afterlife

reviewed on September 25th, 2010 06:11PM

I really wanted like AFTERLIFE. While I sat down in the theater during to first part of this movie, I was pleasantly surprised to find out how kick ass it was. I was thinking that the rest of the movie would have the coolness of the first crucial ...

The Town

reviewed on September 21st, 2010 12:34AM

Watching "The Town" makes me think of something I said to a friend of mine a few years back. Before "Gone Baby Gone" came out I watched an Affleck movie that wasn't too great. (I believe it was Sum of all Fears or something.) I remember grimacing ...

Scott Pilgrim vs. the World

reviewed on August 14th, 2010 08:50PM

HOLY FUCKING SHIT!! "Scott Pilgrim vs the world" is EXACTLY how you put a comic book onto the big screen. It easily belongs on the same platform as The Dark Knight, Kick-Ass, Sin City, X-men 2, and any other comic book adaptation that is pretty...

The Expendables

reviewed on August 13th, 2010 11:14AM

It was a packed house at the movie theater during the midnight showing of "The Expendables."Everyone was on the edge of their seats waiting for a true return to the action genre to begin. I remember thinking, "I hope this movie lives up to the ...

Inception

reviewed on July 22nd, 2010 12:19AM

Having mixed feelings about Inception would be an understatement for me. On one hand, I think Inception is the best movie of the year, and definitely another entry in the "Saving the summer of 2010" category along with "Predators." It is a definit...

Predators

reviewed on July 10th, 2010 10:22PM

Wow. Robert Rodriguez really does know how to handle source material. After such a revolutionary turn with "Sin City," I felt like whatever he touched would be a fans dream come true. So when i heard he was taking up the helm of the Predators f...

Brooklyn's Finest

reviewed on July 9th, 2010 05:23PM

Intense, Dark, and Riddled in a reality i'd rather not think about, "Brooklyns Finest" portrays the infinite struggle between Good and Evil, Right and Wrong, Cops and Criminals, and what happens when the line between them all is blurred completely...

The Twilight Saga: Eclipse

reviewed on July 1st, 2010 09:42PM

I want everyone to understand something first off. I am not a twilight fan. Reason for this, as if I really need one, Its not really my cup o tea. I do however understand why so many people like this franchise. Don’t know why some are obsessed wit...

The A-Team

reviewed on June 14th, 2010 10:31AM

“A-team” is another in a long line of movies being made based off of classic TV shows, like “Starskey and Hutch,” “Charlie’s Angels,” and “Star Trek” before it. Most of us remember the show when it was on back in the 80s. Hell, the first episode o...

Iron Man 2

reviewed on May 15th, 2010 03:57AM

It took me awhile to write this review because I couldn’t help but mull over this movie for a few days. I mean it has certainly gotten praise and heat from critics, fan boys, comic geeks, and casual movie goers all around. Everyone is saying somet...

The Losers

reviewed on April 25th, 2010 09:44PM

“The Losers” is a welcomed surprise from start to finish. From the action-packed beginning to comedic end this movie lets you know that its based off a comic and decides to have as much fun with it as humanly possible, and it really works. Now ...

Kick-Ass

reviewed on April 25th, 2010 12:56AM

"Kick-ass" is on the same level of cinematic masterpiece as "The Dark Knight," "Sin City," "Watchmen," and "X-men 2" Everything with this film is on point from the performances to action to wit, charm, and direction. When it comes to acting Aa...
