The Grey - Blu-ray Review

E-mail

The Grey - Movie Review The Grey is a survivalist’s Holy Bible.  It looks unassuming and, chances are, you’ll roll in to it not expecting much, but – lo and behold – hell hath no fury like humans and their will to live.  It’s a tight story without an inch of flab and, with strong ...

Chronicle - Blu-ray Review

E-mail

Chronicle - Movie Review When it was first announced that Piranha, the 1978 original spoof of Jaws, which was directed by Joe Dante, written by John Sayles, and produced by Roger Corman was going to be remade, an audible groan was heard from the masses. This would never work so...

Underworld Awakening - Movie Review Opening with a three-minute reminder of where we’ve been with the previous installments, Underworld Awakening, rather surprisingly, soon ditches its celebrated mythology of werewolf vs. vampire and lets the human beings weigh in on the bloody war ...

A Trip to the Moon (1902) - Blu-ray Review

E-mail

A Trip to the Moon - Blu-ray review Is there a more influential 15 minutes in film history?  Famed director Martin Scorsese – who featured the celebrated Georges Melies and his film in his award-winning Hugo – doesn’t think so.  You shouldn’t either.  In what goes down as the most important blu-ray ...

The Innkeepers - Blu-ray Review

E-mail

The Innkeepers - Blu-ray Review When is a horror film not a horror film?  Essentially, that’s the question when writing a review for writer/director Ti West’s latest release, The Innkeepers.  Like Rosemary’s Baby and The Shining before it, The Innkeepers manages to rise above its genre and prove that ...

The Red House (1947) - Blu-ray Review

E-mail

Red House - Blu-ray Review Writer/Director Delmer Dave’s eerie classic from 1947, The Red House, finally gets its just reward.  Long listed as a favorite film from many critics (but not often seen by the public), the suspense contained inside one abandoned farmhouse is murderously clever and highly ...

PoorBest 

High Road to China - Blu-ray Review In the wake of the unheralded success of Steven Spielberg’s Raiders of the Lost Ark, many a fancy knockoff was produced for film and television.  The Allen Quartermain film series with Richard Chamberlain, Bring ‘Em Back Alive with Bruce Boxleitner ...

The Thing (2011) - Blu-ray Review (UK)

E-mail

The THing - Movie Review John Carpenter’s remake of a revered 1950s B-Movie became even more revered than the film it honoured. It was a masterpiece in paranoia, tension, and deftly showed our shortcomings as a species, and how far we yet have to go ...

Friends With Benefits - Blu-ray Review

PoorBest 

Friends with Benefits - Blu-ray Review One of the few genres of film that this reviewer has never been able to stomach too easily is the romantic comedy. Not because he doesn’t like to see people fall in love, then misstep, find their way back from disaster, and make it in the end, but because ...

The Divide - Blu-ray Review

E-mail

The Divide - Blu-ray Review Leave it to the French to redefine both ‘apocalyptic’ and ‘nightmare’.  With one unflinching swipe of the hand, director Xavier Gens (Frontiers) wipes away any lasting memories of The Road or Doomsday and makes A Boy and His Dog look like a family trip to the ...

Thou Shalt Not Kill...Except (Stryker's War) - Blu-ray Review

E-mail

Thou Shalt Not Kill... Except - Blu-ray Review What a great exploitation idea: the Marines vs. Charlie Manson. The sentence alone should have grossed $50 million, right?  Not in 1985.  Not by a long shot.  Yet, somehow Thou Shalt Not Kill…Except managed to sear straight into its audience’s brain cells ...

We Bought a Zoo - Blu-ray Review

E-mail

We Bought a Zoo - Movie Review In what amounts to the soft rock version of Alexander Payne’s hard-hitting The Descendants, one family – led by the accomplished acting skills of Matt Damon - mourns the loss of their mother (and his character’s wife) with the purchase of a zoo ...

War Horse - Blu-ray Review

E-mail

War Horse - Blu-ray Review War Horse is a beautifully shot throwback to another era of filmmaking.  Sentimental in style and full of clichés it wholeheartedly rides straight into the sunset, this World War I epic about a boy and his horse could have easily been made in the 1950s.  It’s wide-eyed ...

A Night to Remember (1958) - Blu-ray Review

PoorBest 

A Night to Remember - Blu-ray Review Man will probably never be able to conquer and control the forces of nature.  The fate of the RMS Titanic is proof enough of the high price for playing “King of the World” with nature.  Tales like this are full of consequence; they are meaty with drama and diligence ...

Corman's World: Exploits of a Hollywood Rebel - Blu-ray Review

E-mail

Corman's World - Blu-ray Review Rule breaker.  Savvy business man.  Trend setter.  Lover of the bare female form.  Forget Don Draper, legendary director/producer Roger Corman is the original Mad Man.  No other man could get actor Jack Nicholson to absolutely weep (albeit from behind a sharp pair ...
