Fear Dot Com

Fear Dot Com

Often cited as one of the best horror films of the 2000s, I just don’t get it. Nothing more than a lame rip-off of the much better “The Ring”.

Klute

Klute

Jane Fonda won a Oscar for her portrayal of a call girl in this classic murder mystery from 1971. Donald Sutherland was awesome as always.

Afterschool

Afterschool

Bleak high school drama in the vein of Elephant and Kids. It does a great job of sucking you into this world of morally bankrupt teenagers.

The Experiment

The Experiment

Boring remake of “Das Experiment” which is based on the 1971 Stanford prison experiment. I now understand why it went straight to dvd.

The Searchers

The Searchers

Beautiful looking film from legendary director John Ford. You can see its influence in movies like Star Wars and Taxi Driver.

Resident Evil : Afterlife

Resident Evil : Afterlife

Hot chicks doing cool things (mostly in slo-mo) pretty much sums it up. Paul W.S. Anderson is the undisputed king of highly polished schlock.

The Girl Who Played With Fire

The Girl Who Played With Fire

The central mystery in this movie was almost as good as the one in the first movie. Noomi Rapace is really fantastic in this series.

Frozen

Frozen

Three friends are left stranded on a ski lift – then things get worse. I really liked this movie, it reminded me a lot of  The Ruins.

The Horseman

The Horseman

A great and brutal Australian revenge thriller. A father tracks down the men who killed his daughter. Not for those with weak stomachs.

Giallo

Giallo

Better than some of Argento’s recent films, but still not up to par with his finest work. I don’t think I was meant to laugh so much during it.

The Expendables

The Expendables

Everyone gets their moment to shine in this homage to the 80s action movie. Jeff Speakman and Cynthia Rothrock have to be in the sequel!

MacGruber

MacGruber

They did a pretty good job of turning a 1 minute SNL sketch into a 90 minute movie. It didn’t do very well in theaters but will be big on dvd.

Piranha 3-D

Piranha 3-D

More like a loosely connected series of gory set pieces than an actual movie. Fun? Sure, but I don’t think I’d bother watching it again.

Scott Pilgrim vs The World

Scott Pilgrim vs The World

It will take multiple viewings to take in all of the little details Edgar Wright jammed into this really great movie. I want the dvd now!
