2:45 AM 5/13/10 · I just got finished watching Assassination of a High School President and find myself strangely impressed. The guilty party turned out to be exactly who I assumed it would be from the beginning but they whys and wherefores that led to that were not at all clear and a bit more in depth than I had any right to expect. That alone ( Read more... )

...the name of this movie is identical to the one in the previous post!

7:31 AM 3/31/10 · When I deleted the 'company: The Asylum' tag I may've been a little bit hasty. They make such crappy films, that I ceaselessly keep watching, it's good to associate them together all in the hopes others do not make the same mistake I have. So, we now have an ( Read more... )

...and it went a step further than that.

5:20 AM 3/31/10 · I gotta say that the only thing about Sherlock Holmes that bothered me was there was no 'making of' section, or any real DVD extras to speak of. I have been a long time fan of the character and stories since I was little. I had in fact ready every single Sherlock Holmes story written by ( Read more... )

...never shoot the pilot!

3:01 AM 2/16/10 · Before the movie was released, going strictly from the trailers, I had thought (hoped really) this was a remake of The Thing series. From the Twilight Zone looking original to John Carpenter's version, it was about time for another spin on that classic story and I had thought this was it. However, upon ( Read more... )

1:36 AM 12/13/09 · I originally read Angels & Demons just before The DaVinci Code came out, novel and not the movie, at the insistance of my aunt. She was very enamored by the author and I pretty much had to read both books on that alone but she was determined that I read them in order. I was looking forward to this movie for quite awhile, even ( Read more... )

6:48 PM 7/14/09 · I have a thing about disaster movies, particularly the ones where it's a borderline or complete end of the world scenario. I've seen San Francisco, the nearest big city close to where I live, destroyed any number of times and even though I know it's not real I'm still balled up in my seat with what feels like fire ants crawling ( Read more... )

6:55 PM 1/18/09 · I would be hard pressed to think of an Al Pacino film I don't like. Well, there actually are a couple but even with that I still gotta admit they're damned impressive. I wouldn't say he hasn't been in a movie that totally sucked...

...I just haven't seen it yet. 88 Minutes is by far one of the best I've seen in awhile.

( not exactly spoilers )

4:37 PM 6/29/08 · Let's keep this simple. Our heroes from the previous film are largely doing okay for themselves, with some predictable turbulance. A new guy pops up with some ancient documentation that discredites the family of the main character and associates them with an American tragedy. They start to disprove it and accidentally stumble ( Read more... )

9:46 PM 9/15/06 · On the box of the DVD it says The Pact of Silence as the title but being a French film I think going with the opening credits with Le Pacte du Silence is the better way to go. Despite a recent love of foreign films, inparticular Japanese horror, that actually wasn't why I picked this up ( Read more... )
