Review: Stark Trek Into Darkness
Another week, another big release. It’s truly the blockbuster season. Star Trek Into Darkness had a lot of hype surrounding it, and it lives up to a lot of that hype. One glaring mistake keeps it from out shinning it’s predecessor though. I’m going to keep this spoiler free, so please refrain from spoilers in [...]
Blu-ray Review: Crimewave By Sam Raimi And The Coen Brothers
Sam Raimi was riding high on the hog when his first movie ever, The Evil Dead, became a big hit. What would the director do next? He had made his name with Evil Dead and was ready for a big studio film. That film was Crimewave. It was directed by Raimi from a script he [...]
Review: The Great Gatsby
The Great Gatsby is a classic piece of literature. Every person should read it at least once in their life. Baz Luhrmann’s version of it though, never needs to be seen. Since I have not read the book since high school, it’s difficult to determine if this version took any liberties with the stories. If [...]

Review: Evil Dead
When Evil Dead was screened at SXSW (South by Southwest film festival) the critics loved it. Going into the screening, I was hoping for a great horror film that truly scared me. Instead, Evil Dead is generic horror film that shows points of brilliance, but squanders it for cheap scares. Word of advice, don’t watch [...]

Review: Jack the Giant Slayer
March has become the new beginning for the blockbuster season. It’s were studios release high budget films that can’t compete with the higher profile movies.

Review: The Sweeney
Successful British movies are something of a rarity today. For some reason, they have a hard time finding an audience. The Sweeney isn’t going to help that problem.
