The Wolfman, Fearnet and Other Things

My apologies for not posting sooner.  Life derails you after you’ve been a car accident the size of the Rhode Island.  I’m back now and still recovering, but that’s not going to stop me from posting. As the summer is ending, we move into a new season of scifi and horror.  The Wolfman and Avatar…

The Collector: Movie is Chilling, Haunting

If you’re one that liked Saw, you’ll like The Collector.  It’s basically a Saw movie with a believable story.  I was fortunate enough to watch a special screening in Austin and this movie is haunting.  It’s not sadistic killing like Saw was. The killings in this movie had a rhyme and reason (whether it was…

Sam Raimi: Full Of Talent, Falling Well Short Of Excellence

Sam Raimi, director of the Spiderman trilogy and the Evil Dead trilogy has returned with an interesting, yet possibly dull movie, Drag Me To Hell.  The title alone, not catchy, nor interesting is a new twist to Sam Raimi’s roller-coaster career.  His B-movie foray with the Evil Dead trilogy propelled him onto the scene and…

District 9 Trailer Here, Not to be confused with Halo

District 9, a movie produced by Peter Jackson and directed by Neil Blomkamp, is not a decoy title for Halo.  It is about a race of aliens who is forced to live amongst humans.  That doesn’t nearly go along the lines of Halo.  Don’t let the rampant rumors fool you.  The trailer can be seen…

Romero Fails to Live Up to His Own Genius

George Romero, progenitor of the Dead series has, in very few ways, failed to live up to those famous movies.  I sat down and viewed a recent Romero film, Bruiser, which he also wrote.  While the direction of the film was good, the storyline was not.  Couple Bruiser with his most recent attempt at a…

Monsters vs. Aliens, fun, new for the family

Dreamwork’s new hit Monsters vs. Aliens is in a word, fun.  It’s comedic wit and more than decent voicing makes this movie very family friendly and can even be enjoyed by fans of science fiction or adventure.  Sure, this movie is void of gore and extreme violence, but the movie still shows areas of science…
