Chronicles of Riddick he-said-she-said movie review screener!

SHE SAID: Okay, pretend we live in Riddick’s world. Like most sci-fi/action flicks, pretend the laws of physics and logic do not exist. So if we nit-picked and tore this movie to shreds, we would be hard pressed to discover flaws because in Riddick’s world, running across magma fields in 300 degrees without a [...]

Van Helsing he-said-she-said movie review screener!

STEPHEN SOMMERS STICKS IT WHERE THE SUN DON’T SHINE SHE SAID: God damned Dracula and Van Helsing to an eternity of Hell on earth, and tonight, Chris and I suffered along with them (well, at least for half of the movie). Straddling chaos and eye candy and mutantoid bat babies rose poignant moments, but those [...]

Walking Tall movie he-said-she-said review screener!

THE ROCK’S COOKIN LEFTOVERS First and foremost I must admit I haven’t had time to see the original Walking Tall, nor do I know the true story of Sheriff Buford Pusser, on which both films are based. However I’m a fan of Johnny Knoxville, and have been pretty happy with The Rock’s action resume so [...]

Ginger Snaps 2: Unleashed he-said-she-said movie review

KILLER WEREWOLF MAN IS COMING.. AND HE’S HORNY
HE-SAID: After the major disappointment that was the Dawn of the Dead remake, I felt the need to get some honest to God, 100% pure indie horror back in my system. Lo and behold, the San Francisco Horror fest had exactly what I needed.
Last night was [...]

Dawn of the Dead (2004) he-said-she-said movie review screener!

HE SAID:
I’m usually against horror film remakes, but sometimes I’m pleasantly surprised. I was adamantly opposed to the Texas Chainsaw remake, yet it ended up being one of my favourite horror movies of the year. But even though Chainsaw was a re-imagining as risky as Burton’s Planet of the Apes, and dropped all sociopolitical criticisms [...]

Taking Lives he-said-she-said movie review screener!

SHE SAID: This is weird. I thought that this movie was going to go all out crazy. I thought it was going to touch upon the paranormal profiling abilities of a renegade cop who was tracking down some guy from an X-Files episode who could miraculously transform himself into anyone he wished. Or at [...]

Twisted he-said-she-said movie review screener!

HE SAID: Ashley Judd is fast becoming the queen of the pleasantly mediocre thriller. Just look at Kiss the Girls, Double Jeopardy, and Eye of the Beholder. While you never kick yourself for having seen one of these films, you don’t exactly recommend them to your friends. The same can be said about Twisted. [...]

Love Object he-said-she-said movie review

HOW ROMANTIC ARE YOU? We were lucky enough to be able to catch one of the midnight Valentines Day screenings of Love Object at San Francisco’s Independent Film Festival.
HE-SAID: Inspired by the cadaverous “beauties” of RealDoll.com, Love Object is the story of Kenneth (Desmond Harrington), a socially inept technical writer who falls head over [...]

The Order he-said-she-said movie review

Happy New Year! We’d thought we’d throw ya a curve ball with this unassuming flick. It’s appropriate, as Resolutions stand to “eat” our Sins, right? Anyhoo, enjoy!
SHE SAID:Trailers suck. Suck ass. Especially when they try to blast a decent film into blockbuster status, perhaps forcing the interesting bits to drown on the cutting room [...]

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 [...]

In America he-said-she-said movie review screener!

FAMILY IS EVERYTHING
HE SAID: In America is the story of an Irish immigrant family searching to escape their past and start anew in the wonderful land called America. Unable to be approved for direct passage, the family travels to Canada and sneaks across the Canadian/American border under the guise of holiday. Upon reaching New [...]

Elephant he-said-she-said movie review

SHE SAID: Ce n’est pas une école. Columbine is a subject I sometimes wish would just go away. Not because it was a tragedy, but because the media never handles situations of that magnitude truthfully. (i.e.: Iraq~ Jessica Lynch). Don’t you remember High School? Sure it was fun, but it wasn’t all hunky-dory and [...]

Gozu (aka Gokudo Kyofu Dai-Gekijo) he-said-she-said movie review

SHE SAID: Wow, incredible. I’m just gonna say right off the bat that if surreal is your dig, you’ll love this movie. If you’ve ever pondered mortality, take a test-run. You’ll hop into anti-hero Minami’s 1965 Mustang convertible (my aunt had one of these bad-boys; they are niiice!) and vroom off to Nagoya to [...]

Matrix Revolutions he-said-she-said movie review screener!

NICE GUYS FINISH LAST
HE SAID: Well, it’s finally here. The Matrix Revolutions. The title in and of itself refers to the circuitous nature of the matrix, as well as bringing things around full circle to a satisfying closure. The film does this fairly well, though it ignores, and outright dismisses, many of the amazingly [...]

Bubba Ho-Tep he-said-she-said movie review

HE-SAID: Finally, a movie that didn’t disappoint me this week! After an extremely long wait, Bruce Campbell and Don Coscarelli’s latest has finally arrived.
I might as well just jump into the story. Bubba Ho-tep is the story of an elderly Elvis, stuck in a rest home. He had tired of fame and his scheming [...]

Stuck on You he-said-she-said movie review test-screener!

CHRIS PONDERS the ‘Mendes Formula’: Hey guys, Kris and I just attended a test screening for Stuck on You, the Farrelly Brothers’ conjoined twin comedy starring Matt Damon, Greg Kinnear, Cher, and Eva Mendes. While technically not a full review, as they have a chance to fix many of the problems following the [...]

Intolerable Cruelty he-said-she-said movie review screener!

HE SAID: Ah, this review has been in the cooker for 3 days now. It’s always harder to review a film you’re sort of indifferent to. I’ll tell you straight out that Intolerable Cruelty is a funny film, though not as frenetic and quirky as O Brother Where Art Thou, Raising Arizona, or Barton [...]

Kill Bill vol. 1 he-said-she-said movie review Screener! +japanese-cut dvd!

WHY CAN’T WE BE FRIENDS?
HE SAID: Kill Bill Vol. 1 is Quentin Tarantino’s loveletter to exploitation, grindhouse, and overall bad-taste cinema. He references absolutely everything he loves: De Palma, Switchblade Sisters, Shaw Brothers films (it actually opens with the shaw scope logo), Japanese samurai splatter, Italian Giallos, Master of the Flying Guillotine, etc, [...]
