Movie Review: Marvel’s “The Avengers”

Hulk

Maybe you’ve heard of the Avengers. Oh sorry, Marvel’s The Avengers. The Avengers is the brainchild of Marvel Studios, the summer tentpole to end all tentpoles, the superhero fanboy’s wet dream, nerd perfection in movie form. Ever since 2008, when Robert Downey Jr. completed his comeback and became the star he rightfully should have always… [Continue Reading]

Movie Reviews: “Cabin In The Woods”

Cabin in the Woods Release Date: April 13th, 2012 Let me put a disclaimer at the beginning of this review. I’m not a fan of what passes as horror these days. I haven’t seen any of the SAW films and have no desire to, I haven’t kept up with PARANORMAL ACTIVITY since the first one… [Continue Reading]

MOVIE REVIEW: “INTRUDERS”

intruders still

I don’t remember the last time I watched a horror film and felt frightened. Modern spook flicks rely on extreme gore, jump-scares and bizarre sexuality to wrench a response from their audience. The kind of movies that fill me with dread are the ones with atmosphere. A palpable paranoia that lingers long after the screening… [Continue Reading]

THE WHISPERER IN DARKNESS is the H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society’s latest proof that film versions of Lovecraft’s work don’t have to be awkward or inaccurate (the first being their excellent CALL OF CTHULHU silent picture, released in 2005). True to when the story was first written, this film is shot in unassuming black and white… [Continue Reading]

After The Nukes, There Is Only “THE DIVIDE”

The Divide

This day and age, the threat of a hostile attack is never far from our deepest fears. Imagining the sights and sounds of a terrorist bombing or nuclear fallout is a depressingly easy thing for us to do, but to actually experience being in the midst of such horrific violence is something that is fortunately… [Continue Reading]

A Monstrously MUPPET Review

Muppets logo

Little Green Frog-Men, Walking and Talking Bears, Visitors from Outer Space, Mad scientists and ferocious chained beasts; all things ripe for a truly monstrous movie. These horrific creatures have just stepped back into the limelight not to make you scream, but to make you laugh. These aren’t monsters. These are THE MUPPETS. There’s been a… [Continue Reading]

REVIEW: PARANORMAL ACTIVITY 3

Paranormal Activity 3 Poster

By now, you know the drill.  Husband or boyfriend has a video camera, begins to suspect something otherworldly is amiss, wires the house with more video cameras, the violence from the spirits escalates, many jolts and surprises later, we reach a climax that leaves us eagerly awaiting the next installment. Even though it’s pretty by… [Continue Reading]
