(Crazy Stupid Badge)

First of all, this is inspired by a true story. Next, this is not for the ladies even if Ryan Gosling (Jerry) is in here. You won’t see his abs this time. The main problem of the movie is its believability because it’s too clichéd, too…

Last week it was announced that Joel Silver's reboot of John Carpenter's cult classic …

#09 – THE RULE, THE YELLOW AND THE HORROR

In our day and age we are confined by thousands of rules, especially when we look at our local government. During my studies I have to learn the various laws and I currently possess four books that are thicker than my arm summarizing only bits and pieces of the entire law. They surround us so heavily that we have already gotten use to it at this point. We follow certain norms or else we would not be accepted by society in…

If nothing else, it was made in the 80s, so you knew it wouldn't be long until somebody rebooted and/or remade 'Escape from New York.'  Well you can break out the eye-patches and cobra tattoos, because it…

First of all, let's look over the plot summary of the Dark Knight trilogy as the definitive Batman story on film. As a young boy, Bruce Wayne's parents are killed in front of him and thus decides to travel the world for many years to find his life purpose with the aid of the League of Shadows…

What if you knew something you weren't supposed to know, and the government wanted you silenced? Such is the basis of the upcoming film 'Kill The Messenger.' Set to be directed by Michael Cuesta (…

Rating-Matinee'   While Leonardo Dicaprio and the woman who plays Juliet do pretty good job with the material they are given, the movie itself is all style over substance, it has arresting visuals. However, since this retelling of the  play takes place in modern times the dialogue feels out of place and takes…

Rating-F**K YOU!!!   This movie's bullshit, there I said it. I have to agree with Leon on this film (And on this series for that matter), I generally think that most ghost movies are shit (Obviously, there are exceptions) but when done well like on  Celebrity Ghost Stories and School Spirits (Yes, I know that those are all full of shit, but they scare me nonetheless), however when done shitty like on Ghost Hunters they fucking annoy me. Paranormal Activity not only fucking…

Rating-Matinee'   Horror anthologies are my favorite sub genre in film. I just love the well done ones cause they are able to tie together several different stories together, and I don't know why but I just find that so intriguing. The fact that it just screams different to me is probably the main reason I am in love with this sub genre. V/H/S is a horror anthology tied together not only by a main story, but also by the format the stories are presented in: That good ole'…

Rating-Some Ole' Bullsh*t!!   While it contains a fascinating setting that I wish more ghost films would explore (Waverly Hills Sanatorium, look it up it is quite interesting, and frightening) Death Tunnel contains far too much terrible dialogue, plot holes, unexplained character motivations, and unlikable characters to justify watching…

When I was in college, and completely absorbed in my forensic psychology classes, I watched a documentary on TV about a guy named Richard Kuklinski. Kuklinski, or The Iceman as he was dubbed, was one of the most violent and prolific killers in mafia history.  The doc was partially a recap of his life and crimes and partially a personal interview with him from his prison cell. I remember writing a paper on the guy, who was essentially a serial killer working for organized crime; fascinating…

When someone says that there is a new crime film set in the '40s and '50s and it has people like Sean Penn, Ryan Gosling, Josh Brolin, Nick Nolte and plenty of other fantastic actors and actresses, you would expect it to either be Oscar caliber material or at the very least a very excellent crime drama…

Rating-Matinee'     Now this movie might sound like the stupidest movie in the world when you hear its story: Abraham Lincoln basically grabs an axe and decides to go out and kill vampires. But believe me when I say that once you get past its stupid premise, the movie becomes so much fun.…

Slowly, ever so slowly, the big screen version of The Justice League moves forward. They still don't have a director, though we do know that screenwriting newbie Will Beall will be penning the script. Rumors have…

How many hits have Disney animations have? Earlier this year Brave was released in theaters, which was a huge it, both critically and in box office. In past years, Disney animations also produced hits in all three Toy Story movies, my personal favorite The Incredibles, Wall.E and so much more to name. To date, Disney animations has not made a bad movie…

It looks as if Robert De Niro has found his new muse. If De Niro sticks with Bradley Cooper for anything he does from now on, he just might return to the greatness of what made him great in his later years. Not to say that he hasn't shown it before since Limitless was an excellent…

Last week, actor Frank Grillo stoked the fires of internet rumor when he posted a cryptic tweet about visiting "Marvel" in L.A. He further fanned the flames by tagging the tweet #CaptainAmerica, closing that it would "be cool if it…

The latest installment of the James Bond franchise, 'Skyfall,' hasn't even landed in theaters yet, and already plans are being solidified for the next two films in the series. This shouldn't be an enormous…

We assign the term "action hero" to not only the protagonists of the action films we love, but also the actors who play them. Often the distinction is a touch unwarranted, but sometimes the performers themselves possess traits similar to those of the heroic characters they play. When the filmmaker's…

Let's face it, Superman is in a horrible place in today's society. He might be the original superhero and the classic example of what superheroes can be but like Captain America's deal in The Avengers, things have changed in the seventy or seventy-five years that have past us by as a…
