Movies based on video games have a long and storied history of excellence. Whether it’s Jean-Claude Van Damme’s “Street Fighter: The Movie” or Dennis Hopper’s “Super Mario Bros.”, Oscar season has rarely been able to overlook emerging video game adaptations as… wait, never mind. I could lie all day, but you and I and the rest of the internet all know that video game movies suck. In fact, they suck eggs. Sometimes, …

Ah, Scanners. With two sequels, a failed television series and a big-budget remake on the way, why not revisit the film that started it all? Director David Cronenberg (A History of Violence, The Fly, eXistenZ) is practically still an infant here, crafting a sort of late 70’s paranoid Americana vibe mixed with kooky sci-fi theories about ESP and a few exploding craniums. Scanners, while ostensibly a suspenseful sci-fi thriller, ends up as …

You probably haven’t heard of writer/director Matt Flynn’s HACK!, but rest assured there is a good reason for that. There’s something to be said for having a large enough set of stones to disregard traditional rules of making films; I’m not really sure what that something is. In the case of this film, perhaps, it is: don’t. HACK! (as in Saw, get it?) is a lazy casserole of better films and not …

Mr. Brooks, intended as the first in a trilogy, is a highly polished film with a high-caliber cast. Kevin Costner, in a breakaway from his usual fare, portrays the titular Mr. Brooks, an upstanding member of the Portland community with a dark secret. To everyone, Earl Brooks is a successful business owner and loving husband and father. He’s also, however, a talented if remorseful serial killer.
The role of Earl Brooks is certainly …

Rob Zombie’s 2007 re-imagining of Halloween is as edgy, grimy and sadistic as you would expect from the heavy metal front man and director of films with names like House of 1000 Corpses and The Devil’s Rejects. Unfortunately, it’s also relentlessly grim, pretentious and un-entertaining, unlike his other films.
Michael Myers, the crazed slasher protagonist of the original series, has always come up short in the movie monster pantheon. He certainly has his …

Our First Look Into The Descent: Part 2

Neil Marshall steps aside, but not completely off the film set, for this much anticipated sequel.  The original Descent was directed by Mr. Marshall, and while he’s producing the sequel, the editor of the first installment has given the film a go as director.  Even though this is Jon Harris’s directorial debut, expect much of the same in respects to the brutal carnage, claustrophobic dwellings, and fast paced action.
Sarah finds herself returning …
