Survive Style 5+ — movie review

Aman (Tadanobu Asano, Party 7, Ichi the Killer) is having a bit of trouble with his wife (Reika Hashimoto). Every time he kills her, even though he is careful to bury her body deep in the woods, he finds her well and healthy inside his house, ready to deliver him a night’s worth of frenzied [...]

The Hills Have Eyes (2006) — movie review

Wes Craven’s The Hills Have Eyes (review) is one of my favorite horror films. Maybe because Kris and I are avid road trippers, or maybe because I saw it at an impressionable age, Craven’s film has found a permanent home in my collection. The tale of a non-violent family pushed to acts of savage violence [...]

Pics from Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning

Score another one. Here are some pics from the TCM prequel, Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning.
Although Kris and a few of my close film geek friends will never understand, I was one of the few people who loved the remake (read my review). And not being one to be ashamed of voicing an oddball opinion, [...]

Donald Rumsfeld is giving George Bush a daily military briefing and tells him that three Brazilian soldiers have been killed in Iraq.
Bush softly says, “That’s absolutely terrible”, and is then at a loss for words, [...]

Sympathy for Lady Vengeance — movie review

Everything seems to be receiving the trilogy treatment these days. As long as a movie is somewhat successful you can bet on at least two more installments. Take a look at Fast and the Furious and X-men, both with third installments due out this year. Truly amazing trilogies are few and far between, and I’m [...]

Rocky Balboa teaser trailer is up

The official Rocky site is down, so check it out on YouTube. Hopefully this will erase the painful memory of Rocky 5. Blech!

Kill! - Criterion Collection — dvd movie review

We finish our review of Criterion’s Rebel Samurai box set with the final film, Kill!
The Movie:

Travolta and Latifah to star in Hairspray remake

Ok, here’s a strange press relase. I thought it was another Travolta joke initially, kind of like the Samuel L Jackson and Travolta remaking The Killer from way back. Anyways, news straight from New Line; Hairspray is to be remade with John Travolta and Queen Latifa.
Press release below:
JOHN TRAVOLTA AND QUEEN LATIFAH TO STAR IN [...]
