Man Of Steel – Review
Zack Snyder (300, Sucker Punch) delivers a power house of a film that everyone can enjoy. It’s like he reached back and took all the cool elements of the first two Reeves films, blended them, updated them, and added a good dose of adrenaline. Man of Steel is the first summer blockbuster of 2013, and

After Earth – Review
M. Night Shyamalan once again bites off more than he can chew proving that beyond his clever twists of past, his abilities as a film maker aren’t up to snuff, and furthermore he’s showing no improvement. After Earth is a mess of bad performances laced with stale, predictable and just bad story telling. A crash

Star Trek: Into Darkness – Review
J.J. Abrams has done it again, delivering an epic sequel to his 2009 reboot to the popular franchise. Star Trek Into Darkness is a fantasticly energetic re-imagining of one of the most popular Trek adventures ever. When the crew of the Enterprise is called back home, they find an unstoppable force of terror from within

Iron man 3 – Review
I was a little leery about Shane Black directing Iron Man 3 with his last and first directorial effort being Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. He definitely proved himself capable then, but to hand off such a high profile franchise…. Black comes through though. Iron Man 3 is a fun, action packed spectacle that successfully brings

Grabbers – Review
Irish director Jon Wright brings us a genre film that is both fun and very well made. I’ve been following a lot of the recent flics from the UK lately and have found that there’s a healthy surge in the sci-fi/horror genre. Grabbers is an excellent example, bringing monsters, gore and a few laughs along

Oblivion – Review
Joseph Kosinski follows up his directorial debut (Tron: Legacy) with another science fiction flic that is impressive, visually stunning and fun. Oblivion is a tight film that sets the bar high for the Will Smith/Shyamalan sci-fi flic After Earth being released at the end of May. One of the few remaining drone repairmen assigned to

Evil Dead (2013) – Review
Fede Alvarez proves he has the chops to handle the viscerally raw energy of today’s horror, re-imagining a cherished classic among genre fans. Evil Dead was director Sam Raimi’s baby that pushed the boundaries of shock horror way back in 1981. Alvarez takes the framework of Raimi’s The Evil Dead and breathes new life into

Olympus Has Fallen – Review
Antoine Fuqua delivers a more solid action flic than expected from his gritty portfolio. Olympus Has Fallen plays out with the confidence of a new Die Hard film, easily better than the last installment. It’s loud, well paced, a little ludicrous, but a lot of fun! Disgraced former Presidential guard Mike Banning finds himself trapped

Girls Against Boys – Review
Austin Chick brings us yet another take on the female vengeance story where girls take up arms to deal out their own brand of justice on the sexually aggressive male population. Girls Against Boys feels tired and pointless on the surface, but there’s a deeper psychological thread struggling to keep the film together. Unfortunately even

Stitches – Review
Conor McMahon (Dead Meat) directs this horror slapstick about a clown that comes back from the dead to haunt those who took his life during a fatal party mishap. Stitches is a laughable gorefest that is comically twisted and fun, with a killer that may just end up being one of this generations slasher icons!

Jack the Giant Slayer – Review
Bryan Singer (X-Men, Usual Suspects), tackles the classic and re-imagined tale of Jack and the Beanstalk. Jack the Giant Slayer is a fantastically fun ride that mishmashes elements of both Jack and the Beanstalk and the 1962 film Jack the Giant Killer. The ancient war between humans and a race of giants is reignited when

Red Dawn (2012) – Review
Stuntman turned Director Dan Bradley takes on the task of remaking the John Milius (Conan the Barbarian) 80′s classic, Red Dawn. The remake is predictable, yet enjoyable for a popcorn actioneer, but it never really manages to achieve that level of depth that the original had going for it. A small American city awakens to

Hansel & Gretel Get Baked – Review
Normally shit like this doesn’t interest me at all, but Duane Journey and David Tillman have slapped together a stoner flic that is actually pretty entertaining. Hansel & Gretel Get Baked is a silly but fun, albeit gory re-imagining of the classic tale of two children that defeat a flesh eating witch, who now lives

Warm Bodies – Review
Jonathan Levine (50/50) directs this romantic horror comedy that is unexpectedly better than I had imagined. Zombie comedies are not new to the genre, but they rarely achieve greatness. Warm Bodies may not actually achieve that greatness, but it comes damn close! After R (a highly unusual zombie) saves Julie from an attack, the two

Spiders 3D – Review
Tibor Takacs directs this (what I’m assuming) straight to video film about mutated space spiders stalking the streets of New York. Spiders is definitely a step up from the average Asylum type movies, but not much. After a small piece of a Soviet space station crashes into a New York City subway tunnel, a species
