‘Unhung Hero’ Review

Stuff You Put On The Internet Is There For Forever.  Consider That Before You Make A Movie About How Small Your Penis Is Brian Spitz‘s Unhung Hero opens on two guys in a spartan hotel room in Papua, New Guinea.  One’s black, and the other’s white.  After a moment the black guy sits down and prepares a syringe, while in the […]

Netflix Is Raising Prices….

And I am OK with that because their service is  so reasonably priced in the first place.  It normally costs $7.99 and is going up a dollar, though the increase applies only to new users, while current users are ‘grandfathered’ in at the current rate for two more years. Sounds good to me, and not only because […]

‘The Last Days On Mars’ Review

The first I heard of Ruairi Johnson was from the the short movie “The Silent City,” which was awhile ago.  At the time I though that he had a very interesting vision, kind of dark (I don’t mind nihilism, though a little goes a long way) and atmospheric.  I didn’t hear of any projects from his since, so I […]

‘Prometheus’ With Some ‘Leftovers’

‘Deliver Us From Evil’ Trailer

I like the work of Scott Derrickson (and I hope that he’s being considered for Marvel Studios upcoming Doctor Strange feature, along with Don Coscarelli).  Heck, I even like his remake of “The Day The Earth Stood Still,” if only because he was able to find a role for Keanu Reeves that made that actor’s wooden […]

LEGO Captain America: The Winter Soldier

I don’t know who Antonio and Andrea Toscano are, though I do know a labor of love when I see one, and their Lego version of “Captain America: The Winter Soldier” is just that.  All the iconic moments from the trailer are there, lovingly reinterpreted in Legos. By way of comparison, here’s the original trailer.

‘Devil’s Due’ Review

“”Devil’s Due” is slightly more ambitious that most found-footage movies, though suffers from problems built into the format.” Having seen Matt Bettinelli-Olpin‘s and Tyler Gillett‘s “Devil’s Due,” about a newly married couple destined to give birth to the Antichrist, it’s obvious that the found-footage trend, ushered in by the 1999 film “The Blair Witch Project” and made mainstream with the […]
