(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…

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-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…

Joe Manganiello as Clark Kent/Kal-El/Superman. Okay, take away the beard and then you have an excellent person for Superman in a Justice League movie. Not only has he stated that he wanted to play Superman really badly in the upcoming Man of…

For once, the actual author of the story set out to make his version of the story on film the definitive one! Not only that but Chbosky manages to convince anyone that his version of the story and its characters in this film should be the only version to be made. It's one of those rare films that…

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…

Rating-Some Ole ' Bullsh*t!! Dumb, dumb horrible movie about alien abductions.Lame script, terrible story, cheche' dialouge, stock characters, horrible acting and the fact that they keep saying that this is a true story when it clearly isn't makes The Fourth Kind about as much fun as an anal…

I've been pumped to see Ben Affleck's third directorial outing 'Argo' ever since the concept was revealed. The supposedly true story of how the US government used the ruse of a fake movie to evacuate hostages from Iran in the 1970s? That's sounds interesting, right? Plus, with …

What is arguably the most iconic Hollywood film of the modern era is back once again to rake in more money. But what is it that has made this film so massive in its impact? It's a movie about an event that almost no one living today ever experienced, it's a James Cameron film without nuclear weapons, Terminators,…

Film, like all art, often imitates life. And when the life the art is imitating is that of a giant, wild personality like actor Nicolas Cage, I am instantly intrigued. Such is the case with 'Action No. 1,' which centers on the real-life theft of Cage's prized, and exceedingly valuable, Superman comic back in 2000. The project, penned by…

With all of the strikes that the film has against it from its very conception, it still manages to surprise the most cynical man of romantic films. It has Channing Tatum in it, who is clearly not the best actor working in Hollywood. The marketing campaign for this film is marketing it like a Nicholas Sparks movie when it's not actually based on a novel by Nicholas Sparks. It's "inspired or based on true events" even though the various details between the real life story and the film's…

"The Artist"



Writer and Director: Michel Hazanavicius

Stars: Jean Dujardin, Bérénice Bejo and John Goodman







"The Artist" has received an abundance of praise and awards since it's limited release back in late November. Knowing that, I saw the film with high expectations. Sadly, I was left empty and wanting more.



"The Artist" follows the life of a…

Brad Pitt sure has come a long way since his breakthrough role in Thelma & Louise! He's had to overcome the prejudices set against him and prove his real worth as an actor just because he was the "prettiest boy" in town and by doing so, he's managed to solidify himself as one of Hollywood's most iconic film actors in its history. While he's captured the eyes and hearts of women worldwide with his roles in Interview with the Vampire, Legends of the Fall,…

We hate to report things like this on April 1st, because even though it's true (and even though we here at Spill have a very strict rule against the typical…

Well it’s that time of the year again, Oscar time. It seems like nowadays no one can bring up the Oscars without ending it with “they don’t matter.” I tend to disagree. Yes, the Oscars are way to freaking long but they are the only crowning achievement that film really has. Film is subjective so obviously, your favorite film probably won’t win. SO WHAT! It’s still your favorite film. I love Oscar season and I love the Oscars, even if they aren’t always right. So without further ado I will…
