FOREIGN FARE: PUSHER

I learned last year during my 60/60 Project on my own site that when it comes to crime films, the ones centering around drugs typically interested me the least (Hell, even with Pulp Fiction, my least favorite part is the Uma [...]

DVD REVIEW: THE DARK KNIGHT RISES

(Note: This is just a slightly altered version of my theatrical review to include some thoughts/feelings I’ve gained since.) I’ll let you know from the start that I wasn’t going out of my mind in anticipation for this like most [...]

FOREIGN FARE: A FISTFUL OF DOLLARS

This is like an ultimate foreign fare… it’s a mix of Italy, Spain, and West Germany doing a western remake of a Japanese samurai film. And it stars an American. Now, I’m not huge on westerns, but in this particular [...]

DVD REVIEW: THE EXPENDABLES 2

The first film was a pretty big disappointment. There was a lacking story, but the characters and action didn’t make up for it–mainly because of an over-reliance on CGI and the fact every action sequence was edited to hell. It [...]

DVD REVIEW: THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN

When this was first announced, the majority of the population followed a more negative path by saying how unnecessary this was and how it was just going to suck anyway. I, on the other hand, greatly anticipated this movie. And [...]

FOREIGN FARE: HANSEL & GRETEL

I love fairy tales. I’ve written three novels about them (one to be published soon). I also love Korean movies. And in the cinematic world, fairy tales are making a comeback. Well… they’re trying to, anyway. Some of you might [...]

FOREIGN FARE: FUNNY GAMES

I’ve seen the remake, which is just a shot-for-shot remake of this film by the same director. But it’s been quite a few years. And sometimes, shot-for-shots aren’t always the same quality (see: Psycho). Still, my tastes have changed a [...]

DVD REVIEW: ROCK OF AGES

When this film was first advertised, I thought it looked like it could be fun. I’m a musical fan, and Tom Cruise looks like he was gonna be having fun in a very non-Cruise kind of role. But what did [...]

FOREIGN FARE: GHIDORAH: THE THREE-HEADED MONSTER

When I was younger, I used to watch the old Godzilla movies (or at least record them with intent to watch). However, I really don’t remember much of anything about them. So I figured… why not take a gander? It’s [...]

DVD REVIEW: THE AVENGERS

It started with Iron Man in 2008, and then The Incredible Hulk soon after. From there we received Iron Man 2, Thor, and Captain America, with the characters of Nick Fury, Agent Coulson, Black Widow, and Hawkeye sprinkled throughout. For 5 years, Hollywood has been building to [...]
