I love me some Julianne Moore. Could this be one of her best films…not so much. The Forgotten is certainly a vehicle for Moore, but her fabulous acting chops can’t save a bland attempt in The Twilight Zone.
We meet Telly Pareta (Moore) a year after the loss of her son Sam (Christopher Kovaleski) in a tragic plane crash. Telly’s constant grieving has become a …

Hmmm…where to start? Firstly I don’t think this film should be categorized as a horror film. And then B? Don’t try to brainwash me with Christian beliefs buried in a crappy script. That’s right folks; prayer saves the day in this piece without even trying to blend religion well into the story.
Here is the after school special plot. A special team put …

A lot of people are calling “Cloverfield” a reinvention of the giant monster genre, but to my eye that’s somewhat misleading. What producer J.J. Abrams, director Matt Reeves, and writer Drew Goddard have done is turn back the clock to one of the genre’s most important pieces: Director Ishiro Honda’s Gojira (better known as Godzilla).
That film (unlike what the genre has become) was a true horror show with a bleak tone, giving …

It’s a tad hard to fully explain this film without giving up its hidden agenda completely. The writer and director are two up and comers with huge projects on the way. The screenplay was penned by David Benioff who gave us Troy and the upcoming X-Men Origins : Wolverine, and directed by Marc Forster the force behind Monster’s Ball and the upcoming adaptation, The Kite Runner. As a team …

I LOVE THIS MOVIE! What’s so novel about Shaun of the Dead? Well, it’s not really just a living dead movie parody…it’s a little more clever than all that. It’s a buddy movie/romantic comedy placed in the back ground of a living dead film.
Shaun (Simon Pegg) is a loser, a mindless automaton, that strolls through life with a crappy job, a couch potato best …

Mothman is a bit on the slow side. But, a film based on so much Urban Myth can hardly be an easy telling. The truth behind the Mothman…if there is any, and the many sightings of a mysterious red eyed creature in Point Pleasant, West Virginia fuel this movies haunting tone. The movie in its entirety is based mostly on the biggest Mothman event to date…the destruction of the …

I’ve always been on the fence about this movie. It has some great scares and some really fun gore effects. I’ve just never been a fan of the “it’s all a bad dream” twist ending. This film is hardly that. It’s very enjoyable and has a great ensemble that drives the drama, never a dull moment. So I gave it a second viewing

I was excited to see this movie for the singular reason that it was directed by Bill Paxton. You remember him, the soldier in Aliens that says “Game Over MAN! Game Over!” and the wimp that pees his pants in True Lies. Frailty is a different topic altogether and a fascinating one at that. What if your dad was killing people because he thought god told him to?

I know not where to start with Fabled. Some might say it was a wonderful story told side by side with a children’s fable as a metaphor. Some might say it was an artsy fartsy piece of crap. Hmmm….I just thought it was boring and obvious. So I guess I do know where to start.
