Trick Or Treat Despite its persecution as a musical genre along with its listeners (a far cry from the hands off, politically correct embracing of the far more offensive hip hop gangster rap style), the irony is that heavy metal as a musical art form has always carried underlying messages of both self empowerment and […]

The Trip While many may look at this film and decry the fact that there is really no plot, the truth is that this may be one of the more accomplished efforts by legendary b-movie maven Roger Corman (though that’s not saying much). Intended to be a cautionary tale against the dangers of LSD use, […]

Tripper It’s always pretty hilarious to hear a liberal try to badmouth former President Ronald Reagan (or even funnier, liken him to Obama) because it’s obviously always a classic case of sour grapes, with these people being green with envy that they haven’t had a strong, definitive leader to call their own since arguably FDR, […]

Tromeo And Juliet The minions at Troma Films and their fearless leader (Lloyd Kaufman) spent years and years trying to perfect the art of the trashy, low budget scum movie using their requisite formula (sex, nudity, foul language, and lots and lots of gore) in order to make films that would if not change the […]

The fact that he combines the visceral experience of war with belly-laughs is a good example of his skill here. Admittedly the film […]

Troy: Director’s Cut It’s been a long time since the heyday of the truly epic movie, films that spanned the length of being over 3 (or 4) hours in length and featured a multitude of big name actors playing a wide variety of characters. Films such as Gone With The Wind, Cleopatra, and Lawrence Of […]

True Grit (Original) A Respect Oscar in many ways is both a good and a bad thing: It recognizes an actor who’s never won and probably will never get another shot at it for an amazing body of work, yet it’s usually for a performance that may not necessarily be his best. Thus is the […]
