John Carpenter’s In The Mouth of Madness is a really odd movie in that the more you view it, the better it gets (which is curious, considering the story). It revolves around an insurance investigator, John Trent (Sam Neill), who’s hired to find a missing author, Sutter Cane (Jürgen Prochnow, who combines the prolificness of […]
Olivia Hussey and Leonard Whiting were 15 and 16 years of age when they starred in Franco Zeffirelli’s Romeo and Juliet, which was released in 1968. If you grew up in the 1980’s you’ve probably seen it, as I did. It was a long time ago and while it had a certain soft-core eroticism about […]
I haven’t seen any of The Human Centipede movies – it’s nothing to do with the idea of ‘eating ass’ in and of itself though based on what I’ve heard they take the idea a little too far – because while I’m don’t think of myself as squeamish, there are some roads I’m not the […]
David Bruckner’s The Night House is supposedly the movie that led David Goyer to choose him to direct Hulu’s Hellraiser reboot, which is really interesting because there’s little about that movie that would make him a good choice for that role. Brucker is very methodical and measured in how he approaches his projects and typically […]
That being said, I don’t hate Outer Banks – and if Pope and JJ don’t manage to hook up at least once I’ll be really irritated because that’s one of the plot threads that seemed to be dangling in Season Two. And I know that we’re talking about two dudes, but grow up though that […]
According to various sources the Prometheus has sailed its final voyage as Netflix has cancelled Baran Bo Odar’s 1899 after one season. The series, revolving around a voyage of immigrants to New York, was pretty amazing by my reckoning and while similar to things we’ve seen before – The Matrix films in particular – it […]
James Cameron’s Avatar: The Way of Water recently reached $1.17 billion at the worldwide box office, which is not a bad thing for Searchlight Pictures, the studio that released the film. Though that’s not the most interesting part of the article from The Hollywood Reporter. What is is that when James Cameron said that his […]
I was impressed by M. Night Shyamalan’s The Sixth Sense (1999) as I imagine most people were though eventually I came to notice that the bulk of his movies that followed were for the most part The Twilight Zone knock-offs (sans the brilliant writing of Rod Serling). And for awhile his shtick worked…till it didn’t […]
James Gunn is one of those directors that I feel does better when he’s forced to innovate, which is typically the case when someone doesn’t have access to resources and is forced to make do. That is no longer the case, especially after the success of the Guardians of the Galaxy movies though what The […]
The seemingly never-ending debate over if whether or not Die Hard (1988) is a Christmas movie has always been odd to me because not only is it not a Christmas movie, it’s fairly obviously isn’t a Christmas movie. And that’s because a Christmas movie by definition is a celebration of the holiday itself, which if […]
