The Rock Before he became obsessed with making one boring, shitty, CGI filled movie after another featuring charisma free robots who can morph into everyday household items, Michael Bay was actually well on his way to becoming the greatest action movie director to ever live based entirely on his early credits which included Bad Boys, […]
Shining Long considered one of the benchmarks of the horror genre, Kubrick’s sole attempt at a scary movie is visually stunning to say the least, with the opening montage of shots over the Colorado Rockies (and the effective opening music), sweeping us into a world of fear like few other flicks. The biggest discernible flaw […]
The Stand The one quality about Stephen King that seems most consistent with his work is that while he possesses the ability to actually come up with some amazing stories and concepts, it is usually in his execution of telling these stories that he can generally come up a bit flat, something which can be […]
The Thing (1982) The distinctly underrated and undeniable genius of one John Carpenter is such that it’s amazing that mainstream Hollywood has seemingly chosen to turn their collective backs on the man in recent years, because despite the fact that he was a known maverick back in his day, it still doesn’t change the fact […]

The Wrestler The opening montage of wrestling news articles certainly took me back to the days of the 80s when “mark” magazines like PWI ruled the day in coverage, as Aronofsky tells this story of a guy who could have been any number of different stars of the era, now fallen from grace. There is […]
There Will Be Blood Well, I can say it, the Oscars bore witness to a screwjob, as the mediocre No Country beat out this searing indictment of one man’s soul. Daniel Day-Lewis truly does own the shit as Daniel Plainview who, over the three-hour running time, descends into a twisted human being who at the […]
