  • Housebound – One of the Most Cool & Creepy Flicks of 2014!

    Housebound has got to be one of my favorite movies of 2014, easily one of the best “horror” comedies I’ve seen in  quite some time! This splendid little flick from New Zealand is filled with a ton of mystery, some great scares, creepy cool atmosphere and a lot of laughs. This one kinda plays out…

  • Jurassic World’s Special Effects Don’t Look So Special!

    I just watched the latest trailer to the heavily anticipated Jurassic World, the fourth film of the franchise. I’m a huge fan of the first movie, it completely blew me away back in 1993. It was the first time I truly felt like I was seeing a real living breathing dinosaur on film. I was…

  • Was ‘Dumb and Dumber To’ Dumb Enough?!!

    I am a big fan of much of Jim Carrey’s 90’s comedic roles, I love the  Ace Ventura franchise, Liar Liar was brilliant and of course Dumb and Dumber is one of my favorite comedies of all time. I was thrilled to hear that a  real sequel was finally going to happen for Dumb and…

  • Don’t Put Shatner in The Next Star Trek!

    Can you believe it-I’m asking for William Shatner to NOT be in the next Star Trek flick?! It’s something I thought I’d never say, but after hearing recent news that the original Captain Kirk might now be appearing in the next installment of the big screen Trek adventures I came to the conclusion that sometimes…

  • The Signal: Totally Tense Cerebral Sci-Fi!

    If anyone out there likes their sci-fi with a side of brains and heart like I do then look no further! “The Signal” delivers and then some! Not to be mistaken for the zombie type “The Signal” flick from 2007, which was actually pretty decent. This is a completely different movie that only recently came…

  • Blood Glacier: An Old School Style Creature Feature!

    I’ve been looking forward to “Blood Glacier” now for quite a while, anything that boasts similarities to John Carpenter’s “The Thing” is always on the top of my lists of flicks I’ve just gotta see. This neat little Austrian film is a pretty fun, gory, watch and really feels like it could’ve been made in…

  • Top 5 Obscure Marvel Superhero Teams Who Deserve Their Own Movies Too!!

    So Guardians of the Galaxy is all the rage suddenly! The movie is on it’s way to being a HUGE hit for Marvel. Well I’m sure that’s got all the big wigs in Hollywood and at Marvel thinking about what the next big thing is gonna be. It seems that the characters in these movies…

  • Cyclops, The Punisher and Slingblade vs. The Killer Grizzly!

    I’m pretty excited about this upcoming thriller called “Grizzly”! It was more recently known as “Endangered” then “Red machine” which I think is a better name, as many might think this is now a direct remake of the 1976 Grizzly bear horror flick of the same name(maybe it is?). I’m a pretty big fan of…

  • ‘Stitches’ Gives Freddy Krueger a Run for His Money!
