“The Town That Dreaded Sundown (2014) Is Remarkably “Blah” And Pointless, Which Is A Pity Considering The Source Material” While I was a bit dismayed when I first learned that one of the favorite horror films was being remade, I am even more put out to see it turn up on Netflix this evening (which implies that it […]
I don’t quite know why it is, but I find myself listening to a lot of Doug Stanhope lately. I first heard of him from his concert, Beer Hall Putsch–available on Netflix–and from there I found a lot of his podcasts and concerts on Youtube. He’s hilarious, though more importantly, he’s a comedian with an actual point […]
Gotta say, I like where this trailer is going. Levan Gabriadze’s Unfriended looks pretty interesting and very much in the vein of The Den (if you haven’t seen it, it’s on Neflix, so check it out!). We’re also lucky that someone decided that the original title of Cybernatural was pretty hokey–that may not have been the primary […]
“Jarhead 2 would be a better movie if it weren’t called “Jarhead.”” Don Michael Paul‘s Jarhead 2: Field Of Fire is a fascinating movie–which shouldn’t be mistaken for good, though it’s by no means terrible–that revolves around a platoon in Afghanistan and a mission circumstance forces them to undertake. What makes the movie so interesting is […]
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Daredevil (the first entry of Netflix’s launch of Marvel superheroes, soon to be followed by A.K.A. Jessica Jones, Luke Cage and Iron Fist, culminating in The Defenders) will premiere April 10. And as typically the case with series that appear on Netflix, the entire first season will probably air in its entirety. And […]
“I, Frankenstein. At Least It’s Not Van Helsing.” That’s pretty weak praise, then again I, Frankenstein isn’t the strongest of movies. No one through virtually the entire running time is at all certain if the Monster (Aaron Eckhart) has a soul–spoiler alert: He does–though I wish the same could be said for the movie itself, because […]
If you’re like me, when you think ‘Christmas’ you also think ‘horror,’ you’re in luck because Netflix has one of the better alien abduction movies, Scott Stewart‘s Dark Skies. What makes it work is that it, unlike most movies of this particular genre, spends its time letting us get to know the family that is under siege […]
If you’ve seen Guardians Of The Galaxy, The Avengers or any of the Thor, Captain America or Iron Man movies, you’re familiar with the work of Marvel Studios. Their approach to television have been a bit more tentative. Currently they have only one show, Marvel’s Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D. (MAOS) on ABC (Disney owns both Marvel Studios […]
“Entertaining for children, and (probably) mildly interesting for adults.” Antboy, a film by Danish director Ask Hasselbalch, is a decent enough movie about a little boy named Pelie (Oscar Dietz) who’s bitten by an scientifically-enhanced ant, and gains certain insect-like abilities, like climbing walls, enhanced strength and acidic urine (?). The synopsis above probably sounds a bit familiar–except […]
I know that this is going to sound odd, but I have a pressing need for Adrián García Bogliano‘s Late Phases to be a entertaining, well-done horror film, of the werewolf sub-genre. For a start, I have seen Bogliano’s Here Comes The Devil, and it’s pretty mediocre. I haven’t yet seen Cold Sweat–it’s currently on #Netflix, though […]
