The Pack Review – Bad Dogs Being Bad
“Around the world packs of wild dogs roam freely, killing at will. Now they have developed a taste for new prey …” So begins The Pack, a disappointing entry in the Nature Gone Wild sub-genre of horror cinema. As is typical with movies of this type, some manner of critter which previously left humanity alone […]
Pride and Prejudice and Zombies – Movie Review
If you enjoy reading “Pride and Prejudice” by Jane Austin, then I highly recommend you go see “Pride + Prejudice + Zombies.” Yes, I know that we hate when our beloved books are corrupted by modern storylines, but there are some redeeming qualities to this movie that make it worth the price of admission. I’m […]
The 5th Wave – Alien Invasion Lite: Review
The 5th Wave directed by J Blakeson music by Henry Jackman Whether they stay faithful to the original book, or keep merely a framework of a story, movies adapted from books are frequently not as good. Some, like Ender’s Game, make significant changes and still come up with a solid film; others, like last weekend’s […]
Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens Review – Just What the Fans Ordered
Let me start out by saying that like so many people, I’ve been a huge Star Wars fan since I was a kid. I absolutely love the original three films – I can (and will) watch them over and over and over. Now, the prequels… well. There were parts of those films that were good, […]
Krampus Review- Be Careful What You Wish For
Krampus Review- Be Careful What You Wish For: I will be the first to admit that I was a bit skeptical of how Krampus would turn out. Horror and comedy are an unlikely mix, at least on purpose that is (I usually find a lot of so-called horror movies comedic), so Krampus proudly announcing itself […]
Spectre: Review – New Bond Film Leaves Viewers Shaken AND Stirred
Spectre Directed by Sam Mendes Written by John Logan Music by Thomas Newman Stunning locales, amazing stunts, beautiful (and smart!) women – Spectre, the newest film in the 007 franchise, has all the traditional Bond hallmarks. Daniel Craig’s fourth – and please don’t let it be his last – outing as Bond is definitely worth […]
The Last Witch Hunter – Movie Review
There were high hopes for The Last Witch Hunter. With a cast that stars Vin Diesel and includes Michael Caine and Elijah Wood, it was expected to be a hit. It was a very disappointing opening weekend for the movie. As of Sunday night, its score is only 14% on Rotten Tomatoes. When I […]
Movie Review: The Martian – A Successful Mission
Having just recently read Andy Weir’s The Martian, I was a little hesitant about the screen adaptation. While I thought the book was a fascinating look at one man’s attempt to survive impossible odds, it was extremely science-heavy and emotion-light. The closest comparison I could make was Tom Hanks’ blockbuster Castaway, which, of course, was off […]
The Green Inferno Review
Eli Roth’s newest film, The Green Inferno, brings back a horror genre I thought was dead and gone: cannibal films full of gore, irony, and even a little satire. Eli Roth pays homage to Rugerro Deodato’s Cannibal Holocaust. Even the title of the film is a tribute to this film – the original title for […]
Hotel Transylvania 2 Movie Review
Hotel Transylvania 2 is exactly what I was hoping for in a sequel. The writers kept the adorable horror puns, the cute story arc, and also added in a dash of strong adult humor and themes to the mix! Though the first one had a much stronger story arc, the sequel lived up to the […]
