Can Keanu Reeves star in a movie where he doesn’t happen to be “The One?” I mean, it was interesting in Andy Wachowski and Lena Wachowski’s ‘Matrix’ films, but it’s beginning to feel a bit long in the tooth. Also, watching the trailer for Carl Rinsch’s troubled “47 Ronin” part of me wonders why the […]
“Squeeze” is the third episode of the First season of the X-Files, and introduced arguably one of the most iconic characters in the series’ history, Eugene Tooms (Doug Hutchinson). Tooms is a genetic mutant, and has the ability to contort his body, enabling him to fit into spaces and openings an ordinary human couldn’t. Another […]
I don’t think that I have ever seen a film that demands a remake more than this one (and I know that I have written that remakes/reboots are generally a bad idea, but this film is crying out for it) “Casulties,” was made in 1997 by Alex Graves and revolves around Annie Summers (Caroline Goodall) and her […]
How does Conan O’ Brien get these scoops? I’d be careful if I were him because from what I hear the Sony legal department is just waiting to catch infringers in its legal web. Heck, Conan has money, so he’ll be OK. Me, I am not too sure. Despite my doubts, I have to believe […]
“Conduit” is the fourth episode of the First season, and where we learn more about why Mulder believes so strongly that “The Truth Is Out There.” It revolves around a woman, Darlene Morris (Carrie Snodgrass) who is camping with her daughter, Ruby (Taunya Dee) and son Kevin (Joel Palmer), when they are visited by a […]
““We’re The Millers” is an interesting film, though it’s harsh – almost to the point of being mean, and mean-spirited – at times.” “Meet The Millers” is about family – which is not to say that it’s a family film, because it isn’t. In fact, it initially appears almost anti-family (curiously, so does the movie poster). The […]
If I were that only person that said that “Pacific Rim” is a great time at the theater, then I could perhaps understand some hesitation. But if “Half In The Bag” says it’s good, you know they’re right. Their review is bit late (which Jay acknowledges) but better late than never.
For a series based upon the unusual, the paranormal, and the supernatural, the earlier “X-Files” episodes seem unusually afraid of depicting monsters, if the fifth episode of the First season, “The Jersey Devil” is any indicator. It begins in 1947, with a family driving down a dark country road. They get a blowout , and […]
Keanu Reeves amazes me. We have computer-generated technologies that can make it appear that a man can fly, that can enable giant robots and monsters to roam the earth, and yet no technology yet invented can make him seem like he has emotions and feelings like the rest of us. I know that that sounds […]
“Shadows” is the sixth episode of the First season of “The X-Flies,” and it’s a keeper. It revolves around a woman, Lauren Kyte (Lisa Waltz) who’s boss has just died, supposedly by suicide. He was like a father to her, so she’s pretty distraught. Mulder and Scully originally come on to this case as advisors […]
