One Missed Call- aka- I hear Dead People.
It's not that the original (it bore the same name) broke the mold. Or that the second one went screaming in a totally different direction; in fact- up until the last 5 minutes, it was pretty accurate.
It's just... SOMETHING is missing. Where the fi...

It came back
While SCC may not represent the pinicle of television shows- it's a nice break from the blandness that seems to have taken over our air ways.
This year promise to have an interesting development- especially where John Connor is concerned. Where las...

Shove this up your mind
Okay- usually, I'm not a big fan of movies like this.... Simply because it's "same old, same old"... But this was something different.
Maybe because it's written/directed by 3 people- but it never got completely predictable, or boring. It even mana...

Better left dead
What to say about Rise.... It had promise (good actors, tried and true story theme, etc) but this ones better left dead where it lies. The story jumps right into the situation- and where in some films this is a plus- this one leaves more holes the...

I Love Lucy meets Dawn of the Dead
Remember Shaun of the Dead and how that made you laugh, while at the same time asking yourself 'How deranged AM I to find this funny?'... Well sit back and enjoy this little gem. The laughs come naturally at the absurdity of the situation (A zombi...

No Brainer- but Not Bad
I Liked it (surprisingly)... The story is nothing new, and the 'scares' have been done better in many a films... But there was just SOMETHING about it that made it an appealing film (the 'what' has yet to be discovered:) Biggest recommendation- do...

No Such Thing as Middle Ground
This ones a toughie.... I can't say that I hated it- but I'm not sure I liked it either. I CAN describe it though- 'Weird'. The pace is slow, so you have to be patient with the movie, and the characters resemble something from one of King's more b...

Surprisingly Entertaining
Well... I watched this film intending to hate it... And found the movie had a 'charm' about it. The hand held camera accented the movie well, and the acting wasn't half bad either. As for the name (Cloverfield) it was designed as a 'cover name' un...

30 Days of Night
Well, I will give the director full marks for creating some interesting looking villains... The use of shadows and make-up is effectively frightening, and it's nice to see a movie that knows you don't need as much CG as everyone thinks.
Sadly, this...

Milking a franchise for all it's worth..... Sucessfully
I have to say, I watched the first three episodes with a grain of salt. I was not impressed with the third installment of the movie franchise- and didn't have much hopes for this... Now, I find myself pleasantly surprised. It's actually pretty goo...

The Mist- Another Psycho Religious Nut Movie
Well, the movie wasn't exactly what you would call a shocker... Even the ending, while it had it's 'WHOA' moment, played out how one would expect. Special Effects are noteworthy, and the creatures are certainly the stars of the show.Not the worse ...

1408 Review
While by far not the best film I've ever seen-it's certainly not the worst. And it is one of the best Stephen King adaptations in some time. Although (unlike most films) the time frame of the movie is stretched out... And a slightly more in-depth ...
