“Fetching Cody Is An Unconventional Story About How Far One Man Is Willing To Go For Love.” I tend to enjoy movies about time travel, which I have to admit that I like because I find it interesting the way filmmakers often try to fudge the (theoretical) science. I have also come to notice that there are […]
Every since the television series based on Irwin Allen‘s Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea I’ve had a love affair with submarines in movies, though the more realistic they appear, the less I am interested. For instance, the cramped and claustrophobic submarines–which is more in line with actual submersibles–from movies like The Hunt for Red October or […]
That was quite possibly one of the least scary trailers I have seen in awhile–which is saying something when you take into account trailers tend to show the best of a movie–but I have to give it a few points for going into how the doll was possessed in the first place. That doll looks […]
Let’s be honest for a moment. Keanu Reeves is a pretty mediocre actor. In most movies he appears, he occupies physical space, yet at the same time barely registers, almost as most of him existed in some sort of parallel dimension and what we see on movie screens is only a shadow the real person. Like Roger Zelazny’s Amber. […]
“Lawrence Fishburne Is The Best Thing In A Feature You Probably Already Seen In Other Movies.” I have been wanting to see The Colony every since I saw its trailer on YouTube four or five months ago, so naturally I was jazzed to learn that it’s on Netflix. It takes place in an indeterminate future, where we have built […]
Truth be told, I am neither a huge Star Wars fan (beyond the first film and its sequel, The Empire Strikes Back) nor too interested in J.J. Abrams as a director (way too many lens flares). That being said when video of the Millennium Falcon is posted, you repost it. Because “when you’re nose to nose […]
If you’re a big fan of movies, particularly horror and sci-fi, you’ve probably taken a position on whether or not movies should use CGI (computer-generated imagery) or practical effects (which include prosthetics, animatronics, models and miniatures). Personally, I am a HUGE fans of practical effects. That being said, I understand that there are things that you […]
For those of us that aren’t divergent enough, or aren’t into maze running, there’s The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, Part 1 (and speaking of Part 1, I get the feeling that if Lionsgate could have stretched the last book in the series out into three or more movies they would have done so) where it looks like Panem is […]
I like introducing artists to people who may not be aware that they’re out there, so here’s the trailer for The Purgation, a movie by Elaine Chu that revolves around a woman named Iris, who attempts the exorcise some figurative ghosts and, if the trailer is any indicator, ends up encountering some very literal ones. Then […]
I saw Charles B. Pierce‘s original The Town That Dreaded Sundown a long time ago, and I recall it being particularly scary. What made it so was the fact–did I mention that it’s based on a true story?–that there wasn’t a rhyme or reason for the actions of the killer that anyone could see. Five or six […]
