Beyond Re-Animator dvd movie review

by Chris   ⋅   December 30, 2003   ⋅   Comment now

REANIMATE YOUR FEET TO THE VIDEO STORE I love the original Re-Animator. Herbert West’s trials as a modern day Dr. Frankenstein never fail to make me laugh. Stuart Gordon took H.P. Lovecraft’s most well known short story, added an intelligent, super-camp splatstick twist, and created one of the penultimate cult classics of the 80’s. Even [...]

Girl with a Pearl Earring he-said-she-said movie review screener!

HE SAID: An odd little fact, while Holland did provide the world with some of the greatest painters ever known to man, it is now the number one producer of child pornography on the globe. Funny, to go from producing such high art, to producing the most abhorrent form of entertainment this side of [...]

But if you stripped away all of the magic, you’d be left with mere equations of evolutionary evidence. Some argue that Love is only [...]

Dead or Alive 3: Final movie review

by Chris   ⋅   December 7, 2003   ⋅   Comment now

The last film in Miike’s Dead or Alive trilogy brings the series around full circle. For their final incarnation Sho Aikawa’s and Riki Takeuchi’s characters are each other’s nemeses once again, only this time they have switched roles of outlaw and lawman; cyborg and Blade Runner, respectively. The film takes place in Yokohama 2346. Japan [...]

Tamala 2010: A Punk Cat in Space movie review

by Kris   ⋅   December 1, 2003   ⋅   Comments [2]

SPACE KITTY BLASTS THROUGH SOME THICK NOGGINS “Possibly Maybe” –one of my favourite Bjork tunes and the best way to describe the experience of this incredible flick. Subtly referencing (possibly) everything from The Little Prince, Phillip K. Dick and Roman mythology, Masons and mind control, to Itchy and Scratchy, Happy Tree Friends, 50s TV Japanimation [...]
