As I repeat often enough, remakes are evil (except when they’re not). Recently I watched “Wishmaster” and “Wishmaster 2” on Netflix, and got to thinking… I decided to deal with both movies at the same time because, despite one being a sequel, they’re essentially the same film. Sure, you have differences in casting and the […]
I happened to be recently watching Don Coscarelli‘s “Bubba Ho-tep,” when I occurred to me that since Marvel Studios is working on a Doctor Strange feature (supposedly with John Hamm as the lead) he would be a perfect choice to direct it. Off the top of my head, there are five reasons that this is […]
Zombie beavers?! Why? That being said, I guess a movie that features zombified beavers shouldn’t be too much of a surprise to me, yet it is. Mostly, I don’t understand the choice of animal. I would think that zombie house cats would actually be more interesting. They’re certainly more common than beavers in most places, […]
“Wesley Snipes is a bonafide action star, though “Gallowwalkers” isn’t his best turn.” Before Wesley Snipes went to prison for tax evasion, he completed a film called “Gallowwalkers.” It popped up on Netflix yesterday, and since it’s been such a while since he’s been on screen, I really wanted to like it. I hoped that […]
“Luca Boni and Marco Ristori’s “Zombie Massacre” isn’t a very good movie, though it’s not as terrible as it could be.” The filmmakers were originally going to call this “Apocalypse Z.” I suspect that they didn’t because Warner Bros., the company that released “World War Z,” probably wouldn’t be too happy about that. It goes […]
Either way, I lose (probably). I just noticed that there’s a new horror movie, “Zombie Massacre,” on Netflix. It’s directed by Uwe Boll – no matter what you think about his films, you have to admit that he’s makes a lot of ’em. You’d think just by the sheer number, he’s directed 30 and produced […]
“Not the best of the genre, but it has its charms.” Baltasar Kormákur‘s “2 Guns,” in terms of buddy-cop movies, pales before some of the better examples of the genre, like “48 Hrs,” or “Lethal Weapon,’ though that doesn’t mean that it doesn’t have anything going for it. It’s greatest strength are the ‘two guns,’ […]
Peter Jackson’s ‘Lord of the Rings’ films are very curious to me. They’re epic, beautifully made films, but they also seem to proclaim that epicness from the highest peak. There’s no surprise to them – whether or not you have read any of the books they’re based upon – because you can tell where they’re […]
“Darkness Falls” is the twentieth episode of the first season of The X-Flies, and despite its ‘monster of the week’ nature, is a favorite of mine. The story takes place in Olympic National Forest, in Northwest Washington State (though I am reasonably sure that it really doesn’t). A logging crew vanishes without a trace, though […]
According to Fusible.com, the title of the upcoming Transformers film will be some variation of “Transformers: Last Stand,” “Transformers: Future Cast,” or “Transformers: Apocalpypse.” They base their information upon domain registrations, which has proven accurate in reference to the last film, “Transformers: Dark Of The Moon.” That being said, no matter how interesting the title […]
