I saw two movies this weekend, back to back. One was The Cabin in the Woods, and the other was Bully. Of the two Bully was the bigger horror movie, so I’m writing a review of that first. Going into the movie, I didn’t expect to have too much sympathy, because I am part of…
There has been a lot of talk about The Hunger Games recently. I have read the comparisons to Battle Royale, to The Running Man and even to Logan’s Run and Dangerous Game. I have read that The Hunger Games topped $15 million in advance ticket sales. Unfortunately, I even read some of the racist tweets…
I saw the original The Human Centipede and found it mildly enjoyable, mostly because of Deiter Laser’s (best name ever for an actor) portrayal of Dr. Heiter. How fitting that the evil doctor’s name sounds like “hater” in English! With that said, The Human Centipede is the type of movie you watch once just to…
Let’s just start with the name of this one. As a fourteen year-old with a newly minted affinity for B-movies, when I walked by this at the local mom and pop video store I had to rent it. Back then it was on VHS, and this was pre IMBd and Rotten Tomatoes scores, so one…
Midnight Movie Mayhem! If you are new to my Rewind Reviews, they are just my responses to rewatching movies that I watched as a kid. Today I’m going to talk about a (writer/director) Frank Henenlotter classic, Basket Case. Henenlotter is also known for Brain Damage (1988) and Frankenhooker (1990). I’ve seen those as well.…
I’m writing this review, similarly to how I wrote the review for The Thing, as more a log of my reactions. If I could tweet from the theater without the rest of the audience wanting to kick my @$$, I would. My ADHD riddled mind works like Twitter anyway, so here are my thoughts about…
Instead of writing a straight review, I’m going to write my reactions as I was having them during the movie. You’ve probably read enough reviews with paragraphs of some film industry reject pontificating about the quality of the movie. I don’t care about the quality, just about the reaction I have as a viewer. So…
I remember renting this movie at the now closed Video Magic (Although some people used to call it Magic Video. The sign said Video Magic), back when they had the rent 5 movies, for 5 days, for 5 dollars. The caveat being that they could not be new releases. As a matter a fact I believe the movies were still on VHS. I love a good B-movie, although I’ve been known to watch the bad ones too. Anyway I was 14 years old when I rented this and all I could remember before tonight, was that I liked it.
If I see any of these words used in the description of movies I take it as a personal challenge. I grew up watching violent action movies, Kung Fu, and especially Horror. The horror love is basically genetic. My Grandmother used to pay a nickel to see double features of Dracula, Frankenstein, The Mummy and…
10. Ocean’s Eleven I heard that this has an all star cast and its so good……but it just doesn’t look interesting to me. I don’t mind heist movies. I liked Snatch and Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels. Maybe someday I’ll catch it on cable. 9. Sleepless in Seattle Yeah, this is just not my…
What Did I Just Watch?
