Sex and Death 101 — Lost Boys: The Tribe — Watching the Detectives — dvd movie reviews

Sex and Death 101 Buy it at Amazon.com
“Topless girls are all I need” should be a running quote for movie critics who wholeheartedly recommend fodder like this. It’s not funny, it’s not interesting, it’s horribly miscast, it’s a complete disaster. It’s hard to believe, I mean really hard to believe this came from [...]

2007’s Films We Would Watch Again (and some we would not)

So it’s time for another go round of Dreamlogic.net’s “Best o’ the Year Picks”. For those who aren’t familiar, this is basically our list of favorite films for the year. These are not necessarily films that are of high technical or artistic merit, or those which have received major critical praise. Instead, this is [...]

Sunshine // movie review // he-said, she-said

HE SAID
There haven’t been too many science fiction films focusing on the death of the sun. It’s a bit odd, given the sun is directly responsible for the abundance of life we enjoy on this planet. Really, the only film I am aware of to even remotely tackle this subject is Japan’s Sayonara Jupiter, though [...]

Ooh, I want to see this! Danny Boyle’s Sunshine

I’m surprised that ensemble astronaut films are pretty rare. I mean, what better setting for a bloated, mismatched cast, ridiculous storyline, tons of CG and lots of bass? That’s right: Space. The Right Stuff and Armageddon weren’t too shabby revenue-wise, proving that Americans will see just about anything. (I [...]

Following in Scream’s successful footsteps, Craven decided to go light on the cussing and bloodying, shooting for PG-13, creating a thrilling popcorn flick sans [...]

Wes Craven Countdown

Let the countdown to another of Wes Craven’s suspense-thriller tryouts commence. It’ll be a short one, since Red Eye opens next Friday. I’m pretty anxious about it, even though it’s been watered down for the teeny bopper audience, but that’s to be expected if you want to make a profit in this fickle [...]

Batman Begins movie review

Is it really worth nine bucks? I had really paid little to no attention to the making of this film, but in the weeks leading up to its release I gradually caught the Batman bug. The weekend it released, I was darn ready to slap down the $18.00 necessary to get Kris and I in [...]

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 [...]
