Unlock this badge by Reviewing the film "The Matrix".
You may be wondering what exactly I mean by that title. What I mean is that it's widely-believed that the Matrix is one of the best sci-fi action films ever made. Oh what a grand lie that is. By the time you're done reading this review, you'll know that the Matrix is NOT original, intelligent, thought-provoking, or even that entertaining. PLOT … more

RabidChihuahua posted a Quick Tip about Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.

posted in Movie Hype
Simply put, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas is one of the weirdest films that I've ever seen in any genre and any medium (and keep in mind that I've seen weird stuff that most of you wouldn't ever think to see). Johnny Depp and Benicio del Toro are perfect as Raoul Duke and Dr. Gonzo (respectively), and particularly with Depp, his acting as a drug-guzzling journalist was a riot … more

The horror of a nuclear holocaust is one of the things that horrifies every one of us. I know, most of us are afraid of the actual explosion, while some are afraid of the nuclear fall out that fallows (photos of the Japanese people stricken with radiation sickness is indeed horrifying) and most of us wonder how we are going to cope if indeed the world falls under a nuclear holocaust. Well, director … more

Unlock this badge by reviewing the 2012 film "The Avengers" .
From the day I walked out of that theatre after watching Captain America I was hyped, hyped for the Avengers. As much as I was hyped I got even more excited when I found out that Joss Whendon was directing. Ever since I started watching Superhero movies I’ve been dying for a film featuring a crossover of different characters from different comic books. While the Avengers technically are … more

After the end of the second World War, the Italians apparently began a cinematic experiment of their own: they wanted to capture on film the daily lives and struggles of the poor or working class citizens. This “movement” was called Neorealism, and it basically sought to explore the psyche of every day people. (Hat/tip: Wikipedia) As an … more

Unlock this badge by reviewing select movies within the first 5 weeks of its theatrical run.
Tim Burton and Johnny Depp come together again in this wonderfully delightful film. Depp proves again that he is capable of successfully portraying any type of character - his talent seems to reach out to the viewer in a huge way - every role he has played he always manages to convince me he really is the character he's playing; it's almost hypnotic, and his … more

Jackie Chan was arguably the king of martial arts action movies in the 80’s up to the mid 90’s because of his commitment in using no stunt men and no wires in his films . It seems he had left quite big shoes to fill that Thai action star Tony Jaa had given it his shot in the late 2000’s. Now Indonesia seems to have taken a stake in filling his shoes in the person of Iko Iwais. “Merantau” … more

Dark Shadows (2012) is destined to split the audience into two camps. Camp A will love this movie because they are fans of the Burton/Depp team. In their eyes, B/D can do no wrong, because the source material is immaterial. They go in expecting only to be entertained by a certain kind of shtick...and in this particular case, they received it in spades, and therefore went home … more

RAMPART Written by James Ellroy and Oren Moverman Directed by Oren Moverman Starring Woody Harrelson, Ned Beatty and Ben Foster Dave Brown: Bear in mined, I’m not a racist. Fact is, I hate all people equally. There is only one reason RAMPART, Oren Moverman’s second directorial effort works as well as it does and that is Woody Harrelson. As a corrupt cop whose 24 years … more

Kitchen Stories, a Norwegion/Swedish co-production, starts out as a dry, deadpan comedy of differences and ends as a dry, deadpan comedy of friendships. Sweden's Home Research Institute has just finished a detailed, observation-based study of the Swedish housewife's movements through her kitchen. The purpose is to maximize efficiency. The next step is a study of Norwegian … more

So, no one ever told me the original Planet of the Apes movie was about religion! Now I can finally see what everyone had against the Tim Burton remake which came out a few years ago. (I was not a fan of the remake myself.) Movies revolving around people who are captured, enslaved, and turned into freaks by their supreme oppressors usually have a very specific theme and formula. … more

posted in Pass The Remote!
The season started out rather a little slow and I was a bit put off with the introduction of devices and elements that felt vaguely familiar. In the beginning, I was a little hesitant with the introduction of its human characters that I feared that the series would be a little too kiddie for my tastes. However, the writing and direction worked well to develop the characters … more

review of Domiziano Cristopharo by cenobite7
Judging from his films, one might quickly assume that filmmaker Domiziano Cristopharo would be an intimidating figure to interview. Quite the contrary! Mr. Cristopharo does pride … more
