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

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!

Deadheads – Review

With the zombie romance/comedy Warm Bodies coming soon, I though I’d venture into the zom-com genre, actually a sub genre that seems to be growing in popularity with films like Zombieland, Shaun of the Dead, and Fido. Brothers, Brett Pierce and Drew T. Pierce take the zom-com on a road trip as two cognisant, speaking

Seven Psychopaths – Review

Writer/director Martin McDonagh (In Bruges) teams up with Colin Farrell again to bring us a dark, quirky yet wildly hilarious crime comedy about a screen writer’s journey to finish his script about, you guessed it… Seven Psychopaths. A struggling screenwriter inadvertently becomes entangled in the Los Angeles criminal underworld after his oddball friends kidnap a

The Three Stooges – Review

The Farrelly Brothers have finally hit rock bottom…. and run out of original ideas. Ridiculously stupid, lame and unfunny. The Three Stooges is over the top, slapstick comedy that has not held well the test of time. The comedy stylings of the original three stooges should have been left to rest, and remembered fondly for

Ted – Review

Seth McFarlane brings his raunchy Family Guy humor to the big screen in the form of a loveable talking teddy bear. Ted is one of those films you’re almost ashamed to laugh out loud to. Seth McFarlane has made a career on showing us what we’ve always wanted to see, but were afraid to ask…

Rock of Ages – Review

Choreographer and Director Adam Shankman (Hairspray) brings us the big screen adaptation of Chris D’Arienzo’s Broadway production of the same name. Rock of Ages is a fun time capsule of 80′s rock. Set in 1987 Los Angeles, Drew and Sherrie are two young people chasing their dreams in the big city. When they meet, it’s

Dark Shadows – Review

Tim Burton resurrects the 60s gothic soap opera about the rich Collins family of Collinsport, Maine and the arrival of Barnabas, a distant cousin who happens to be a vampire. Personally I’m not a huge fan of Burton’s style, and even though Dark Shadows doesn’t quite feel like a Burton film, it still meanders a

Men In Black III – Review

Barry Sonnenfeld returns for the third and probably last installment to the popular Men in Black franchise. Men in Black III takes a comfortable stroll through a familiar park where everything feels just right. Sonnenfeld, and of course the writers, don’t take any risks with the characters or the very formulaic structure of the series.

Iron Sky – Review

So I’ve been following Iron Sky for a while now, since it’s early conception and a trailer that was developed to hook investors featuring the kick ass song by Laibach. Over the last couple of months Iron Sky has been making very limited theatrical appearances, concentrating more on a straight to DVD/Blu Ray release. This

21 Jump Street – Review

21 Jump Street returns, this time on the big screen. Directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller continue the story of youthful police officers sent into high schools to infiltrate the gang and drug scenes. The original series was an hour long weekly cop drama that ran 5 seasons (1987-1991) and gave actors like Johnny Depp

Community – Have You Watched It Yet!?

I’m going to cross over to television for a moment and recommend a series that started last year. A series I overlooked because of a slow start… like 30 Rock, it just didn’t appeal to me at first. But like 30 Rock, Community is quickly becoming one of my favorite shows, which joins my Thursday
