'Thriller' ARCHIVE
So I've seen a few titles over the past month, but just haven't had any time to review them. So, rather than let them fall to the wayside, here are a few quick capsules. As for regular film/dvd reviews, I've ... continued»
MOVIE REVIEWS [In Brief] . Chasing Ghosts, Naked Avengers, Abominable, Excel Saga
So in the interest of cleaning out my queue, this past weekend I decided to kick back and watch a few bargain flicks I've picked up over the past year, but haven't had time to watch. Sadly, with most of ... continued»
MOVIE REVIEW . Midnight Eagle
My first hint should have been that the laurel leaves on the poster surrounded no award notice. No best of category, no viewer’s choice, not even special mention. Just “Opening Film at the Tokyo Film Festival.” To give you an ... continued»
MOVIE REVIEW . Michael Clayton
I don't think I'd have much respect for George Clooney if he had remained a fluff celeb cashing in on his devilish smirks and self-effacing clever humor. Instead he ambitiously strives to pursue political platforms, balancing entertainment and ethics. ... continued»

Dreamlogic.net’s Halloween List 2007
Wow. Is Halloween really in only two days? I meant to put up this Halloween list earlier, but at least we've got 48 hours.
Previous Dreamlogic.net Halloween lists have covered a lot of our cult and personal favorites, and ... continued»

MOVIE REVIEW . Gone Baby Gone
Things are never what they seem. Scratch that. People are never what they seem. Abusive parents media-broadcasting fibs (one woman microwaved her infant last year, recent forensic details disproved her previous alligator-teared account), crooked cops, dirty drug ... continued»
Hideo Nakata to tackle Natsuo Kirino’s Out
Variety is reporting that Hideo Nakata will be helming New Line Cinema's screen adaptation of Natsuo Kirino's Out. Funny, I thought there was already a screen adaptation, though word is it wasn't very good. Joe Forte of Firewall will be ... continued»
MOVIE REVIEWS [In Brief] [He Said, She Said] . Eastern Promises, Rise: Blood Hunter, Planet Terror
Okay, so I said I'd be back on my queue films again, but Kris and I had a rather busy weekend -- albeit one packed to the brim with pure awesomeness. In fact, we were so busy, I only made ... continued»

MOVIE REVIEW . Bug
Bug. Ugh. Is it me, or do you feel totally lied to by the trailers for this movie? Instead of a creepy crawly splatter flick, I got wily white trash and dense dialogue. Okay, I am ... continued»
Dreamlogic.net’s Summer Wrap-Up. Movies, Games, and Books
The weather has turned, schools are back in session, and workloads have shifted back to high gear. It’s safe to say summer is officially over. In an effort to catch up with the ever mounting number of things we checked ... continued»
DVD REVIEW . Snake Woman’s Curse
When I was young we spent a few years in Texas. Apart from the impressive array of bugs, including cockroaches and scorpions, we were also pestered by a fair number of snakes. On one or two occasions we actually had ... continued»
DVD REVIEW . Horrors of Malformed Men
Any time a long banned film is finally released to the public for home viewing is a time to be excited. And, in the realm of Japanese cult films, no picture is more infamous than Teruo Ishii’s Horrors of Malformed ... continued»
MOVIE REVIEW . Noriko’s Dinner Table (aka: Suicide Circle 2)
A pseudo-sequel, existing somewhat on the periphery of Suicide Circle, Noriko’s Dinner Table takes place before, during, and after Sion Sono’s landmark film. It is the tale of a young bookish country girl who, fed up with her life of ... continued»
MOVIE REVIEW . I Know Who Killed Me
I Know Who Killed Me starring Lindsay Lohan was a smart, sensational comedy -- wait, it wasn't a comedy? Let me start again. I Know Who Killed Me should have been called "I Know Who Filmed Me Stripping" ... continued»
TRAILER WATCH . Sukiyaki Western Django, Jigayaku no uta, Get Smart, and much much more
I figure it's about time for another round of trailer links. There's actually a lot of interesting stuff coming up. For the most part, this lineup looks to be a nice break from the summer grind, if I do say ... continued»

MOVIE REVIEW . 1408
Here's a good rule to follow regarding Stephen King film adaptations: if he wasn't in it, it's good. Just compare Stand By Me and Thinner and you'll see what I mean. Well, he doesn't pop in for a ... continued»
MOVIE REVIEW . Death Note (aka: Desu Noto)
In Japan, there is a deliciously rabid exploration of the occult which Hollywood frequently shuns. For example, remakes of Japanese Horror moneymakers The Ring/Ringu and Dark Water were vilely diluted. So when Japanese filmmakers set out to bring ... continued»
MOVIE REVIEW . Death Proof
At just 80 minutes Death Proof is Quentin’s shortest film to date, and somehow his most interminable. Overly chatty and under-compelling, its tale of a stuntman/serial killer (a vehicular-homicidal maniac) lulls when it should wow and stalls when it should ... continued»
