Faced with the task of further linking the Alien and Predator franchises, director Paul W.S. Anderson should be applauded for his efforts instead of condemned for their results. When you are building upon two historic cinematic franchises you can expect the expectations to be quite lofty. I, like so many others, rushed out to see […]

After spending the better part of the last two weeks studying for a licensure exam as well as developing a writing project, that will traverse generations to shake the very pillars of the readers existence, I decided to spend a leisurely evening watching 80’s sci-fi movies. Abandoning preconceived notions of prime time television and the […]

On a rainy Wednesday night in mid May, I finally went to see the 10:20 pm showing of 28 Weeks Later at the Regal Cinema in Hooksett, NH. First let me begin by stating that going to see a movie in Hooksett anytime after 8 pm is usually a solitary experience, as the entire town […]

I went to see Vacancy last night and I have to admit, it was better than I thought it would be. Although the plot is straightforward and offers little to no surprises, I would still recommend this film as a rental. Kate Beckinsale and Luke Wilson deliver believable performances, however their reactions and decisions to […]

Stacked to the rafters with A+ actors, “The Departed” delivers an action packed, brutally violent and twisted storyline centered in the heart of Boston. Jack Nicholson delivers a gritty, raw and relentless performance as Costello, the boss of the Boston crime […]

I just saw “The Reaping” and I have to say it was really bad. Let me back up a bit, I went to a parochial school during my formative years and have had my fill of “The Church.” I am by no means an atheist, but after two hours of “fear the wrath of God”… […]

Director Mennan Yapo may not hit pay dirt with the release of “Premonition“, even though the suspenseful drama will not shatter box office records it does tell an interesting story. This film has been met with fairly mixed reviews. I enjoyed Sandra Bullock’s performance but the storyline left many questions unanswered.
I wouldn’t recommend “Premonition” to […]

With the release of the trailer for “Pirates of The Carribean 3; At Worlds End“, I felt obligated to pull another pirate film out of the vault and run a review on it. Back in 1983, Graham Chapman and John Cleese (Monty Python), Cheech and Chong, Peter Boyle, James Mason and other comedic heavyweights were […]
