Past, present, and future... these are the films we felt like talking about.
Page: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10- Cast A Deadly Spell Cast A Deadly Spell is just the right balance of supernatural strangeness and detective thrills, set in a world just different enough from ours yet strangely familiar. : February 02, 2012
- Fantastic Fest 2011 Second Half Reviews Tron rambles on about the second half of Fantastic Fest, which is always way better than he makes it sound. Hopefully, you'll wade through this mess and find some Gold for your 2012 movie season. : October 08, 2011
- Fantastic Fest 2011 First Half Reviews For those not in the know, Fantastic Fest is the largest genre festival in the United States, bringing the best Horror, Science Fiction, Fantasy, Asian and generally bizarro cinema from all around the world to our small little hamlet of Austin, Texas. : October 07, 2011
- Rise of the Planet of the Apes Monkeys evolved beyond 2001 standards, anyway. : September 13, 2011
- Troll Hunter (2010) In true mockumentary form, the absurd concepts solidify into a wonderful story about Trolls and their continued existence in Norway, treated with a seriousness by Ovredal and the cast that is infectious as it is effective. : July 17, 2011
- Lipstick and Dynamite (2004) Lipstick and Dynamite is a solid and informative documentary about the roots of women's professional wrestling but suffers from a clear direction and self-serving storytelling from it's principal cast. : July 15, 2011
- Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes is an excellent step toward beefing up Marvel's television output and is an exemplary series in how to keep the vitality and originality of the original Avengers stories while adding new and fresh elements to the mix. : July 15, 2011
- Sugar Hill (1974) Do you remember the zombie? Not the recently resurrected "flesh eaters" born of the fertile mind of Legendary Director George Romero and constantly regurgitated in cinema ever since but the zombie? Voodoo, my friends, spawned the first zombie, and they've been with us ever since. : June 19, 2011
- Green Lantern (2011) GREEN LANTERN suffers, in our post-IRON MAN and THE DARK KNIGHT world, from feeling like a film from a time in which the superhero movie wasn’t an established film genre. It’s spends most of its running time trying to find a way to hook the audience, by being steadfastly familiar. It makes GREEN LANTERN an oddly tentative experience, as if it doesn’t know how far it can go with its own fantastical elements, and it consistently sides with convention over imagination. : June 17, 2011
- Under the Mountain (2009) Under the Mountain is a wonderful feature film that holds true to the tone and style of the early Eighties new Zealand television series while updating it with the sensibilities of director Jonathan King's Black Sheep. : June 07, 2011
- It! The Terror from Beyond Space (1958) Not at all hampered by it's inherent silliness, It! still holds up as a fun, creepy, atmospheric monster movie in space and is definitely worth the watch. : June 07, 2011
- OSS 117: Lost in Rio The film, much like it's predecessor, contains wonderful dialogue, tons of double-crosses, rotten spy activity, nubile young women, tremendously funny situations and enough guffaws to keep people who hate reading subtitles in stitches. : May 27, 2011
- OSS 117: Cairo, Nest of Spies The plot alone would be enough to hook me (a poultry farm?) but the outstanding performance by Jean Dujardin as Hubert Bonisseur de la Bath is what really keeps the movie moving forward. : May 27, 2011
- When Harry Met Sally (1989) Yes. I enjoyed it, far more than I expected to enjoy it. And I'm a big enough man to admit that. : May 18, 2011
- Thor (2011) Even if the Norse gods existed long before Jack Kirby, they needed Jack Kirby to become as superheroic as they are. : May 05, 2011
