Pitch Black (2000)

Richard B. Riddick (played by Vin Diesel) is my all time favorite antihero. He is an unapologetic badass that is in it to win (or at least find peace and be left alone). He is a monster, a killer, a heartless and cruel character of the night that has been gifted (or cursed) with the [...]

The Hoax (2006)

It’s been awhile since I’ve watched a movie worth writing about.  True, I’ve been embroiled in Season 3 of Battlestar Galactica for a couple of weeks which has consumed much of my time, but the movies I have tried to watch have sucked.  Yet, not sucked enough to write about them. So, it is with great pleasure [...]

PEDAL (2004)

Okay, so you want something different. You want something hardcore. I have just the thing for you, Pedal.
 
Pedal is a book of photographs (see my review of the book: here) and DVD documentary. The documentary film by Peter Sutherland is an eye popping looking into the hard and adventurous life of the bike messenger.
 
The [...]

Casshern (2004)

Casshern is based on 1973 Japanese animé. What I love about Japanese movies and fiction is the blending of all genres. This movie has Steampunk, Cyberpunk, and Biopunk. The mix is so complete that you as a watcher, I just bought it all. I was in the movie from minute one.
The visuals are amazing brilliant [...]

Enchanted (2007)

Back in the day (late 2006), when I started to see previews for Enchanted, I cringed.  I honest-to-god cringed.  What could be more hokey than a half-cartoon/half-live action feature about an animated princess who comes to life?  I chalked it up to another movie that makes me question the existence of God.
Then, when it came [...]

Showdown at Area 51 (2007)

 
Showdown at Area 51 is an original SCI FI Saturday Movie that I picked up at a whim at the video store to watch this morning.
 
For what it was, a shoot-um-up alien-apocalypse, it wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t good enough to keep me awake though the entire film. I dosed off and missed the [...]

21 (2008)

Las Vegas has changed over the years, from an adults-only playground to a family vacation destination and now, to self-mimicry.  In movies like the uneven Oceans trilogy and the new Jim Sturgess vehicle 21, the plasticly attractive perpetuate a take-or-be-taken mythology.  In this version of Vegas, the bad guys are casinos growing rich on the masses and the good [...]

Zombie Strippers (2008)

No i am not fucking with you…

Across the Universe (2007)

 
Boy lives in the 60’s Liverpool, England, Boy leaves Liverpool, Boy ships to America, Boy finds long lost father, Boy finds Girl, Girl finds cause, Cause comes between boy and girl, Girl leaves Boy, Boy is deported, Boy immagrates back after some soul-searching, Boy gets Girl back because… “All you need is love”.
That sums up [...]

The Flight of Dragons (1982)

I love this movie. I love that you can find it for free on the internet. What a wonderful world we live in. Our age of science is truley wonderful, except it was a choice that we made just like the main character took off his wizard’s hat picked science over magic.
Enjoy!
