Goodnight Mommy – Trailer

For awhile France was the place to go for innovative horror (and where directors like Alexandre Aja and Xavier Gens hail), now it seems that there’s been a shift to Australia.  Wyrmwood: Road Of The Dead is currently on Netflix, and it’s pretty clever–in terms of where it takes zombie horror, not so much in terms of visuals. And […]

The Living – Review

“The Ties The Bind Are Nurtured By Blood” Jack Bryan‘s The Living is a pretty impressive thriller that revolves around a man, Teddy (a virtually unrecognizable Fran Kranz, Cabin in The Woods) who after a night of drinking beats his wife, Molly (Jocelin Donahue). He had no memory of it happening, but Molly’s bruised and bloody […]

Ant-Man – Review

“Ant-Man Shows That Great Things Come In Small Packages.” Considering how well put together Peyton Reed’s Ant-Man is, it’s a shock that just a few months ago a lot of people were talking about how it would be Marvel Studios’ first misstep. And I can understand–prior to having seen the movie– how one could come […]

A Single Man – Review

Da Sweet Blood of Jesus – Review

“Entertaining, in that singularly unique Spike Lee way.” Spike Lee is a fascinating director, for better or for worse.  By which I mean, the trip isn’t always the most leisurely, though if you’re prescient enough to see where he’s trying to take you, you find yourself the better for it. Da Sweet Blood of Jesus, the movie that he […]

My Last Ant-Man Trailer

I have officially reached the point of trailer saturation–when a trailer starts to reveal more information than I am comfortable knowing, as far as Ant-Man is concerned, at any rate.  Like when Hulk caught Iron Man during the first Avengers–which was featured prominently in the trailer–I honestly don’t want any more surprises, no matter how small […]

Dark Summer – Review

“”Dark Summer” Isn’t The Season Horror Fans Are Waiting For (Though It’s Still Better Than “Ouija”).” Watching Dark Summer you can tell that the filmmakers thought that they were onto something special, and I can understand why. The movie has some beautiful cinematography and is shot and edited in a manner designed to heighten atmosphere and tension. Keir Gilchrist plays […]
