Gantz — anime review

by Chris   ⋅   September 22, 2005   ⋅   Comments [30]

Perpetually oscillating between the disturbing, mysterious, perverted, horrific, explosive, meditative, surreal, hilarious, and introspective, Gantz is one of the most entertaining, and frankly, best animes I’ve seen in recent years.

The Doom Generation — movie review

by Kris   ⋅   October 21, 2003   ⋅   Comment [1]

HAVE YOU EVER KILLED SOMEONE? Okay, wait a minute, [[REWIND]].. Have you ever been at the local 7-11 or ‘quickie mart’ and hosed down some slushies, nachos, maybe some smokes? The cashier lackadaisically taps the register keys, wishing you were her last customer and is secretly praying to god you don’t have a handgun hidden. [...]

Battle Royale (aka: Batoru Rowaiaru) — dvd movie review

by Chris   ⋅   October 18, 2003   ⋅   Comment now

SPECIAL EDITION DIRECTOR’S CUT DVD Note: While many people believe this film to be banned in America due to its “excessively violent” nature, the actual reason for its absence from American markets is due to the fact Toei, the film company behind Battle Royale, refuses to have BR distributed in America at any cost. Unfortunately [...]

Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003) — movie review — screener!

by Chris   ⋅   October 15, 2003   ⋅   Comments [8]

At first I was completely opposed to the idea of remaking the original Texas Chain Saw Massacre. The film was perfect. How could they make anything better than what they already had? But after a while I thought about my favorite remakes of all time. Invasion of the Body Snatchers with Leonard Nimoy, Willard with [...]

The Hills Have Eyes dvd movie review

DIVIMAX DVD REVIEW
Ah, The Hills Have Eyes. I first heard about the film at a boy scout camp way back in the 80’s. It was supposedly one of the coolest and scariest films our troop leader had seen. It took me about seven years to find the film, but once I did I was treated [...]

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

by Chris and Kris   ⋅   October 7, 2003   ⋅   Comments [12]

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, [...]

Das Experiment movie review

by Chris   ⋅   September 15, 2003   ⋅   Comments [2]

WHAT’S IN THE BOX?! You may have heard the story before but I’ll summarize it here to the best of my non-spoiltastic ability. Das Experiment is based on the infamous 1971 Stanford Prison Experiment performed by Philip Zimbardo (If you’ve ever taken any psych classes you’ll recognize this name.) I always thought he looked [...]

Cabin Fever — he said, she said — movie review

by Chris and Kris   ⋅   September 13, 2003   ⋅   Comments [2]

SHE SAID: This was waaay better than I thought. You’ll walk in expecting a horror movie, and you’ll walk out remembering a comedy. That was meant as a compliment, though. Don’t expect this flick to be as provocative as I Spit on Your Grave, or include the forest as a character (Evil Dead). This [...]

House of 1000 Corpses — movie review

by Chris   ⋅   September 9, 2003   ⋅   Comments [2]

I’m still trying to figure out how I feel about this film. It’s hard because House of 1000 Corpses is one hell of an unbalanced film. In places it’s brilliant, ranking among the best in its genre, but for the most part it is a plodding exercise in mediocrity. I absolutely loved the first 5 [...]

I Spit On Your Grave (aka: Day of the Woman) — he said, she said — dvd movie review

by Chris and Kris   ⋅   July 14, 2003   ⋅   Comments [23]

Hey everyone. We just took a look at the I Spit on Your Grave Millennium DVD and thought we’d try a He-Said, She-Said review in an off-beat “dialogue” format based on our discussion.
EVERY TWO MINUTES, somewhere in America, someone is sexually assaulted. One out of every six American women have been the victims of [...]
