Westerns, and Robert Duvall films, are in short supply these days. So I was all to eager to dive into?Wild Horses, a western film that Duvall wrote, directed, produced, and starred in with James Franco, Josh Hartnett, and Duvall’s real-life wife, Luciana Duvall. What I found was a film that moves as fast as the…
Flip through the channels or, heaven forbid, traipse the late-night fandango of infomercials and you?ll hear every promise for every product you ever thought you needed or never really did. ?Headlights fogged? Sand, buff and polish with this three-part restoration system and they?ll look good as new.” “That old plastic garden hose weighing you down?…
Raise your hands if, when you heard Marvel was doing an?Ant-Man?movie, you shrugged your shoulders. How about when the first trailer was released. Anyone think ?Oh boy, this may be Marvel Studios? first big flop?? Yeah, I had those same reservations and really didn?t expect much either. And let?s face it, with Paul Rudd as…
I was hooked by the concepts of?Self/Less?after one look at the trailer. Ben Kingsley’s Damian wants to extend his earthly life, so he buys a spot in a shadowy scientific experiment where his consciousness will be transplanted into another body. He thinks he’s buying a newly cloned figure but what he gets is instead the…
For years, the most frightening on-screen threat to come out of Appalachia was the sound of dueling banjos. That all changed in 1988, when special effects makeup wizard Stan Winston turned director and introduced moviegoers to his deep-woods demon, Pumpkinhead. Eight feet tall with a jagged jaw-line and a dome shaped like?well?a pumpkin, the title…
It’s a scenario that we’ve all likely experienced?at one point or another. It’s Friday night. ?There’s a movie out that you really want to see–but everyone is busy. ?Oh, you could go to the theatre by yourself and take it in. ?I mean, it’s the same movie after all. ?Still, something feels… off. The truth…
When searching the toy aisle for the ultimate ?Creep-You-Out-So-Bad-You-Have-To-Change-Your-Shorts? party game, accept no substitutes. Roll on Magic 8 Ball. Shuffle your way outta? here Tarot Cards. In the world of good timin? occult fun, there can be only one. Accept no substitutes and ask for it by name: Ouija. And that?s pronounced ?Wee-ja? and not…
In the third installment of the Terminator films, we find a John Connor (Nick Stahl) who is no longer thirteen, and ?lives off the grid.? John is a young adult living on the streets, with no phone, no home, nothing. He is working in manual labor, recalling the past through a voiceover narration. ?They tried…
I really never understood the title of Judgment Day for this film, because it really wasn’t a “Judgment Day”. It doesn’t take away from the film which in its time was pretty great. However, rewatching it you can see how storytelling and movie magic has evolved greatly. Even if you compare this to Avatar (another…
Millions of six-year olds are right. Vegetables can be scary. We humbly and emphatically support their hypothesis with our research as we dissect that staple of the American horror diet, Children of the Corn. The blood’s not too hard to swallow, but the sheer concept could unsettle the steely-ist of guts and will ensure that…
