The Hangover

It’s Friday.  Do yourself a favor and go see The Hangover.  Everyone deserves to kick back and laugh their ass off every now and then.  I didn’t have any intention of reviewing this movie for our site, but when you see a movie this good, you just have to talk about it.  And I’m proclaiming [...]

My Bloody Valentine

May 27 , 2009 | | In: Movie Reviews

Is it wrong for me to say that My Bloody Valentine has its heart in the right place?  I didn’t think it was.  There are brief moments in this movie that are quite good, moments of character and some moments of true suspense, but they are far too few, leaving this movie a nice attempt to take [...]

With Dead Man’s Hand Charles Band has pulled a rabbit out of his hat.
Several years ago, it seems you couldn’t escape a Full Moon picture.  Full Moon Productions, Full Moon Entertainment, whatever they were calling themselves, or Full Moon Features as I think they are called now.  They were home to Puppet Master, Demonic Toys, [...]
