Given the number of articles previously published at this site, the recent release of the Afro Samurai video game (complete with giant, billboard advertisements), and the fact that this is a sequel, I think I can forego the usual introductory paragraph. Suffice it to say, Afro Samurai’s back and looking better than ever.
The last go round with Afro saw him climbing the headband ladder to avenge the death of his father. Resurrection picks up a few years later, with Afro still …

Yup, it’s review catch-up time again. Here are three more films that are worth mentioning, but not deserving of a full review.
Black Snake Moan . Samuel L. Jackson and Christina Ricci star in this tale of a young nymphomaniac and the god-fearing blues singer determined to set her on a path of righteousness. Directed by Craig Brewer, of Hustle and Flow, the film is easily one of the most original American efforts a major studio has put out in years. The film’s posters and trailer, featuring a chained Christina Ricci, …

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 cameo in 1408, so that’s already a good sign. Don’t get me wrong, Stephen King was a good read back in middle school because there’s just enough occult and curse word titillation and he wrote huge honking novels like It that any kid would be proud to complete. …

Being that I’ve already written a number of articles on Afro Samurai, including my first impressions of the series, and a full review of the Director’s Cut of the series, I think I’ve completely exhausted all I can say about the Afro Samurai story. For the sake of a cohesive DVD review, I’m reprinting the relevant portion of my review of the Afro Samurai Director’s Cut below. However, if you’ve already read that article, simply jump to the DVD section for my evaluation of the disc. (Note: I will be …

So, Funimation was nice enough to send us the first episode of Afro Samurai, complete with the new voiceovers by Samuel L. Jackson, Kelly Hu, and Ron Perlman. To be honest I have no familiarity with Takashi Okazaki’s Manga, or the original Japanese Language cut of the miniseries, so I really had no idea what to expect.
Note: If you haven’t read our previous blurb on Afro Samurai, check it out here.
Straight of, this has got to be one of the craziest Anime releases to ever hit basic cable television. Afro …

Believe it or not, I’ve got capsule sized capsule reviews for once. Check check it out.
Sex is Zero – For the first half of its runtime this Korean hybrid of American Pie and Bring it On is the grossest, sexiest, funniest college comedy you’ve ever seen (Seriously, Kris and I were laughing so hard we had to keep rewinding). Then, at about the 1 hour and 5 minute mark it abruptly shifts gears and becomes an after school special about unwanted pregnancy and noncommittal playboys. What the hell? But on …

From IMDB:
Samuel L. Jackson’s new mile-high thriller Snakes On A Plane has created such a buzz among internet film fans, movie bosses have called for re-shoots – to give the film a tougher rating. The film, which stars Jackson as an FBI agent trying to keep a federal witness alive onboard a plane full of snakes, wrapped last September – but went back before the cameras earlier this month for five days of additional shooting. Film bosses at distributor New Line Cinema opted to add new scenes to the film …

Just got received these pics in my email. From what I’ve seen they’re not all available on RT yet, so they qualify as new :)
For those who don’t know, Snakes on a Plane is the new film from David Ellis (Final Destination 2), and New Line Cinema about a flight from Hawaii to Los Angeles whose passengers are menaced by a crapload of snakes, set loose by an assassin in an attempt to kill some sort of informant riding on the plane. Samuel L. Jackson stars as the FBI agent …

“ALRIGHT, LET’S PUT THIS FROG IN THE BIRD!”
Starring Colin Farrell, Michelle Rodriguez, Samuel L Jackson, Ladies Love Cool James, Jeremy Renner (aka: Tobey Maguire)
HE-SAID:
I must say, this has been the week of surprises. After seeing the trailer for SWAT, which proudly proclaimed it was from the producers of XXX and The Fast and the Furious (as if that was a GOOD thing), I made sure to pass it up in the theater. But, as luck would have it, it surpassed my wildest ultra low expectations. S.W.A.T. is the most amazing, …

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. Not quite curly fries, but possibly a basket of onion rings, if you know what I mean.
Judd plays Jessica Shepherd, a furiously independent female SFPD cop freshly promoted to Homicide. Naturally, her first day on …
