Scream 4

After two pretty solid films, the Scream series hit bottom with Part 3. Actually the whole horror genre kind of went downhill in that early 2000's time frame. Ten years after Scream 3 came Scream 4.Sydney Prescott (Neve Campbell ) is back in Woodsboro after ten years to promote her new book in her old town. Ghostface however is back and has struck again killing off a new set of victims.The film has a difficult task of reviving...

Blast Vegas

I have said it before and will say it again, films from Syfy are not my favorite. Most are low budget with bad plots but the bottom line is you know what you are getting going in. These films are not designed for the whole world but instead for a very small audience. Blast Vegas works on this level.Blast Vegas has a very cheap Vegas vibe going on and involves a group of college...

Sharknado

  On July 11, Sharkndo made it's debut on the Syfy channel. It was a twitter sensation that had non-stop talk on any film site for days and you could probably call it a cult movie by now. An Asylum film and one of the few types of films I don't follow because we know the lack of quality of these. The films are usually rehashed from popular films like Abraham...

The Birds

In many ways, The Birds is quite a strange film. It's got a plot that is very different for the time period let alone now and flaws that would ruin most films. That said, it's still one the finest horror films around. It's 60's horror that still works.Set in 1963, it has a simple plot involving an island plot getting attacked by killer birds. It was a highly anticipated film for Alfred Hitchcock as...

Machete

You could say I grew up with Robert Rodriguez movies. I've sat through all  of the Spy Kids films when I was little guy. As a pre-teen, I liked the forgotten The Adventures of Shark Girl and Lava Boy and saw it at a drive in. As I got older, Rodriguez' Planet Terror turned into a favorite with Machete coming out in 2010.Machete follows Machete Cortez (Danny Trejo) on a story set on the Mexican-American...

Rock of Ages

Being born in the 90's, you would expect me to be to listening to current music. Not really though. 80's music and 90's music a little is where it's at for me even though this is not really common for people in my age group. It is music that brought me to where I am now as a teenager and in some ways how I found my friends. That being the case, I really should have liked the 80's...

Monsters University

Since 2011, you could say Pixar films have been a little down. Cars 2 was a poor sequel that struggled with it's story and did not the capture the heart of the original. Brave from 2012 has a solid following but you can  find non-fans of it unlike most other pixar films. This would make you wonder what was left of such a powerful animation company especially when you had a prequel...
