Going to start with a real cracker, and one that will surely be contentious. I love the films of the Coen Brothers and own many/nearly all of them on DVD. They’re just good film and I love that they aren’t defined by any genre, they’re just defined by redefining genres, which is a pretty masterful [...]

Inception is going to get mixed reactions because people don’t know what to expect when they go in. They want a film that’s better than Christopher Nolan’s last effort, The Dark Knight; but they secretly don’t want that. They want something different yet drastically the same, and they probably want something more when they’re maybe [...]

I finally gave myself two hours aside to watch George A. Romero’s Survival of the Dead. This is the 6th Dead movie that Romero has made, and though the original trilogy only kept getting better it certainly feels like this second second trilogy just keeps getting more unmemorable. Land was actually quite terrible but at [...]

I’m a massive Coen Brothers fan. I dig their flicks, but on so many different levels. I have The Big Lebowski in my Top Ten Movies of all time because I just absolutely love it so hard. Yet I can understand and appreciate that Miller’s Crossing is actually their best made film, and that would [...]

I’m a huge Bruce Campbell fan, pretty much always have been. I watched the Evil Dead movies when I was very young and fell in love with a man who did for acting what The Dan Band does for music; makes it fucking fun.
I can remember seeing that Army Of Darkness had finally hit our [...]

I am completely sick of not seeing these awesome movies at the cinema. I wanted to see this but it never really happened and before you could say “Oscar snub” the flick was gone from the cineplex. I’d missed my window, and what a large and alluring window it was.
I went into Moon with expectations. [...]

I read The Road by Cormac McCarthy because my brother told me to. He read it because it was post-apocalyptic fiction, as did I. He also said it was damn good. Once I was finished, which was only a few days later, I agreed. It wasn’t long after that for news of a movie [...]

As a new year is now well into existence I realise that I really should start to plan into the future a little better. You never know when your car is going to cost $800 to get a bunch of crap done to it. Though I know when that will happen, it happened last week. [...]

It’s the end of the year and I got a lotta problems with you people, and now you’re gonna hear about them. Yes, I’m celebrating Festivus, as usual, and the feat of strength is to find a top entrant for each arbitrary aspect of the year I feel like grieving about. Well, what are we [...]

This movie is a deconstruction of love after the fact. And that’s my line, I plan on using it again for my own gain, so no stealing it. Anyway, this movie picks out the little things that make and break a relationship. Some scenes take only 15 seconds but that is all we need sometimes [...]
