Whoops… They’re Doing It Again.
Something has gone horribly wrong.
Depending on what theory you subscribe too, either there is a critical glitch in the Matrix, or the Gods have begun their next step in an all encompassing, Trojan War style conspiracy against us. Either way, we’re all in a very real and grave danger.
Allow me to begin this with a [...]
The House of the Devil
October 29, 2009
Naturally with October coming to an end, and Halloween only a few days away, my desire to consume some frightening and eerie media has ripened like an old mushy pumpkin. I was lucky enough to see “Paranormal Activity” (read about this horror show here), and force my sister to sit through “Quarantine” (not only to [...]

October 19, 2009
As we inch closer and closer to Halloween and the New Year on its tail, ever improving hindsight makes one fact abundantly clear: 2009 has been an interesting year.
Creative budget adjustments have paved new, broken-stone ways to stretch and contort every dollar we make. The unemployment rate, as of September, was at a 26-year high [...]
It’s Armagoddamutherf*&^)geddon!
October 18, 2009
I really don’t think there was anyone more skeptical than I when it came to the first glance at a trailer for Zombieland. ANOTHER zombie-apocalypse survival movie? When Zombieland was released, I was certain that, at best, it would be a shitty attempt at recreating Shaun of the Dead. However, at the insistence of a coworker [...]

I’ll be honest.
I didn’t write this article sooner because, quite frankly, the thought of doing so was too frightening. In fact, the thought of giving too much of my thought to Paranormal Activity is still cause for hesitation. Not because it was a bad movie – quite the opposite, in fact. The documentary-style film sets [...]

Inglourious Basterds
Quentin Tarantino’s latest foray in film, Inglourious Basterds, is a highly entertaining thrill-ride that follows the crusades of a fictional OSS squad as they brutalize and terrorize Nazi soldiers in WWII France. The film doesn’t stop there, though, not by any means. The movie provides other running story lines, like fantastic exaggerated Nazi villains, and [...]
The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus… at Last?
August 18, 2009
For anyone who doesn’t know, Terry Gilliam (Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Brazil) has a masterpiece awaiting its day: The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus, a film that offers oh-so-much. Typical Gilliam surrealistic landscapes? Check. A deep and fantastical morality tale, showered with imagination? Check. Tom Waits as the fucking devil? One hell of a [...]

August 13, 2009
Getting right to the point: the only thing more exciting than a relatively cast and crew intact sequel to last year’s Iron Man is the fact that this time around, the man himself- Sam ‘Fucking’ Rockwell- will be involved. Sam (Confessions of a Dangerous Mind, Moon) will be playing Justin Hammer: rival Industrialist to Tony [...]

August 11, 2009
At the base of Disney’s Space Mountain, a hurried crowd gathers, lured together by the promise of new life being breathed into an old classic. The air is electric with the mob’s collective excitement… the sense of hope and anticipation almost palpable. Thunder echoes off of the clouds of a gathering storm, and the crowd’s [...]

August 11, 2009
Ahh Tuesday, the media-addicts weekly milepost. While the rest of the world is absently anesthetized, droning through until 5pm Friday, nerds everywhere get a mid-week shot of B12, packaged in shrink-wrap. And that’s why we’re here today, to re-energize you with the most potent potables available. Yes, there are many other (lesser) options, that will [...]

August 10, 2009
The film, from the combination of great production, acting and writing is much like a powerful concussive blast: a force to certainly be reckoned with and one the viewer will most likely walk away from with permanent impressions.
