There Will Be Blood.
When oil flows beneath,
Fathers fail and Preachers reek.
Evil’s root laid bare.

Director: Tony Goldwyn
Starring: Zach Braff, Jacinda Barrett
Released: 2006
Zach Braff is a mystery to me. Not so much the person, but his success really. Or should I say fortune? You can’t say he’s good looking can you? (Ladies back me up here). It’s not like he’s just another slab of [...]

A great marketing tagline for “Jumper” could have been: Jumper: It’s “Highlander” for the myspace generation! Both feature leaps through space (and logic), centuries-old rivalries, and an acting vacuum for a lead (Christopher Lambert in ‘Highlander,’ Hayden Christensen in ‘Jumper’), and both are a laughable assault on the intellect (but ‘Jumper” lacks that [...]

Ouch! Ouch! Please stop beating me over the head with your secondary plot of pseudo-moral judgment calls. You are going to fracture my skull. You see, fracture means to crack or break something, not to make a movie about a murderer and a prosecutor that we really don’t care about.
Plot overview: Anthony Hopkins’ [...]

The Saw horror movie franchise is the filmmaking equivalent of reality TV’s Survivor: the first time you watched, it was totally fresh and interesting and unlike anything else you’d ever seen before. As new installments started to appear, however, it all started to seem somehow horribly repetitive despite “twists” designed to give it [...]

Director: Greg Beeman
Starring: Corey Haim, Corey Feldman
Released: 1988
It’s hard to believe that many in Hollywood attained more fame in the mid to late 80s than Corey Feldman and Corey Haim. Kirk Cameron maybe; or a 21 Jump Street Johnny Depp perhaps! Teen idols the Coreys were quickly dubbed; their posters and [...]

The fact that a human being can formulate something this unbelievably stupid boggles the mind. I’m almost afraid to discuss Mulva: Zombie Ass Kicker! because the curiosity of how bad this garbage is might spurn others to watch it. This has happened before and will happen again. Case in point: “Two girl’s one [...]

I, Turhon J Stewart, promise to give accurate and unbiased account of all films.
“Now how do I begin?” That’s what the Director of this movie must have said. The compilation of bad humored shorts and terrible timing have given this film the same ability to succeed as Bush’s book of spelling . [...]

I can’t really complain, can I? The film’s title promised something, and delivered!
Many people, including myself, left the theater wanting the soundtrack to the film. Sarcastically so, because it was two and a half hours of the same four songs. Silent Hill anyone? Remember the air raid sound? The alarmingly scary noise that [...]

Sylvester Stallone’s Rambo 2008 wasn’t disappointing! It was as entertaining as the three that preceded it, and just as full of murder and mayhem. It isn’t recommended for children under age 13, or for the squeamish if blood, guts and gore aren’t your fare. However, for the teenagers of the 70’s, [...]

Produced and Directed by Jerry Warren
Starring Katherine Victor, Don Sullivan
Teenage Zombies is magically inept. Only something as insubstantial as magic could keep one watching long after the realization that there will be no thrills, no chills, and because much of the film is set in a subterranean lab, only bargain-basement suspense. [...]

I needn’t tell you that this is a bad movie. The title alone should be enough to convince one of this fact. If not, though, I’m certain the massive ad campaign waged when this film was first released against the hearts and minds of the discerning American movie-goer has already [...]

Director: Eli Roth
Starring: Rider Strong, Jordan Ladd
Released: 2002
Eli Roth’s Cabin Fever focuses on a group of college kids who retreat to a secluded woodland as a way to blow off pre-graduation steam. We’ve got the tough posing pretty boy named Jeff (Joey Kerns), the crude smack talking Burt (James DeBello), and the [...]

Director: Neil LaBute
Starring: Nicolas Cage, Ellen Burstyn
Released: 2006
Nic Cage is one of the few bankable stars left in Hollywood. Demanding a whopping $20 million per picture (sometimes in excess of), his films can still generate quite a box office stir. He fills seats as they say, and as reward for [...]

For everyone who thought a thriller based on the pagan rituals practiced on remote Scottish islands would be interesting, The Wicker Man is an 88 minute rebuttal. Or, if you managed to get your hands on the “essential” UK Director’s cut, a 100 minute rebuttal. Either way, I think when [...]
