For the past several years Horror movies have been coming out pre-packaged with accepted failure. The general audience has even come to terms with the fact that there have not been many good films in the genre in a while. Mostly they’re bad sequels, unnecessary and shameful remakes and failed concepts as well as an overabundance of torture porn with the growing subgenre started by films like Hostel and the [read...]

2-D VERSION – THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SOME SPOILERS! Ridley Scott’s latest, which is actually a pre-prequel to his 1979 sci fi thriller Alien almost seems like a remake structure-wise of that movie, but deals with another separate adventure within that universe. More specifically it revolves around the “Space Jockey” or Engineer species (as they’re called here) that were introduced in Alien. We first saw one of them in that movie [read...]
The French Connection, The Exorcist, Sorceror, To Live and Die in L.A., these are just a few of the cinematic masterpieces Director William Friedkin has given to movie lovers over the years.

Ben Affleck (Gone Baby Gone, The Town) is back on the film scene with what looks to be an exciting, offbeat political thriller. It is based on the true story of the 1979 Iran Hostage crisis in which the United States and Canada worked together to come up with a very unique plan involving a sci-fi movie called ARGO to rescue six U.S. Diplomats who were being held captive. The [read...]

What begins as an ordinary limo ride to get to his destination soon turns into a deranged detour as he [read...]
They used to call him “Blow Em Away” Ollie because he made movies that were explosive. As a screenwriter he gave us classics like Midnight Express, Conan The Barbarian and Scarface. As a filmmaker he took us to hell and back with films such as Salvador, Platoon, Born on the Fourth of July, Natural Born Killers and U-Turn just to name a few. For the past decade or so it [read...]

The group will be facing [read...]
We’re really anxious to see this furious action film from director Gareth Evans. Word around the geek campfire is that it delivers the mad as hell, brutally bombastic thrills big time! We’ve been informed recently from other sites that the movie has been retitled The Raid: Redemption because it is, in fact, the first in a trilogy. This just cranks up the coolness even more to find out that we’ll [read...]
