Alice Minus Wonderland

My favorite books of all time are Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass. I have always loved seeing their rich characters and fantastic world brought to the screen. I think I must have seen the Disney version about a hundred times. Disney is back with a live-action version of Alice, helmed by Tim [...]

This is the big weekend for all of us cinephiles. The biggest and most prestigious awards ceremony in the film kingdom, the Academy Awards.

Now that the movie has been released, and critics everywhere are rating it anywhere from Caligula the cartoon to The Passion of the Christ 2 (Back in Black), it is being called [...]

The Crazies Is An Underachiever

What would happen if your friends, neighbors, and even family suddenly became psychopathic killers focused on your demise? This is the question asked by The Crazies. This film really thrives of of this nightmare scenario, but doesn’t really back it up with the rest of the flick. The Crazies takes place in a small town [...]

Black Dynamite Is Out Of Sight!

It seems to be a new trend in Hollywood to make films that pay tribute to seventies era exploitation genres. Black Dynamite is not only and homage to Black and Kung Fu exploitation genres, but a hilarious film. Black Dynamite is the baddest brother in town. A former military, and CIA tough guy, Black Dynamite now [...]
