This review may contain some spoilers, because I couldn’t figure out hot to complain about the shitty ending without giving away a little bit of the story in the process. You have been warned. The Prince of Persia movie is … Continue reading →

So yeah… This movie looks a lot like Fallout 3. Yep, that’s pretty much all the good things that I can say about it. Stylistically, it reminds me of a game I like. Sadly that game had a better script. … Continue reading →

Vampires are in right now. They have suddenly become fashionable and sought after. You could say that this was probably caused by a bunch of very poorly written “wish fulfillment” novels that drove teenage girls crazy. But Twilight novels seem … Continue reading →

Sequels generally suck. This is especially true for Marvel super-hero movie sequels. It is almost like a rule – a Marvel adaptation quality is inversely proportional to the number attached at the end of the title. Think about it. Spiderman … Continue reading →

Ginger Snaps 2 is one of these movies that are built around a concept so clever that you can’t help to be impressed. Ginger Snaps 2 combines Lycantrophy and substance abuse rehabilitation. No, seriously. Check this out: Brigitte is infected … Continue reading →

Surrogates is a rather thought provoking science fiction film that I wanted to watch for a while. It is a bit heavy on the action side, but you ought to expect that from any movie that features Bruce Willis. What … Continue reading →

Zombie movies are fun to watch. It is a natural law that is universally understood by everyone. Just like water being wet, sun being bright zombie films are awesome, even when they are terrible. Really, it is really hard to … Continue reading →

Merry Christmas folks! I hope you survived the night with the Robot Santa out there. I figured that I might as well post a movie review here as we all huddle in our houses fearing for our lives, while the … Continue reading →

The problem with Science Fiction movies is that so many of them are complete and utter shit. Hollywood doesn’t really understand this genre well, and usually uses it to stage their special effects intensive summer action flicks. The hallmarks of … Continue reading →

Back in 2006 Neil Blomkamp released an amazing short film titled Alive in Joburg. It was only six and a half minutes long, but it blew my mind. It had amazing low key special effects the kind of timing, and … Continue reading →

In recent years comic book adaptations have become extremely profitable. Movie studios are literally fighting over superhero franchises these days because they know it is easy money. We have finally reached the point in time when comic book nostalgia is … Continue reading →

I have not seen Watchmen in the theaters when it first came out because my friends suck. I can hardly remember last time I was this excited for about a movie. Actually, scratch that – I can. Last time I … Continue reading →

Here is a question: have you seen the first Transformers movie? If you did, you probably don’t need to see the sequel. Why? Because it is the same exact movie. It follows the exact same overall plot almost to the … Continue reading →

I must confess that I am a big fan of Vampire movies. I love Zombie movies too. I guess I have a thing for films that depict the man’s struggle against the undead. Go figure. Hollywood has been writing stories … Continue reading →

I just realized that in the last few years I’ve been pretty much living among non-geeks. It’s sad but true. I teach non geeks, I work with non-geeks, and lately, I’ve been hanging out with non-geeks on my free time … Continue reading →

I am a horrible person to watch movies with. Everyone always likes to talk about what they liked or disliked about the picture they just watched. I’m usually the guy who gives a disappointing one word review: “Meh…” It usually … Continue reading →

When I first heard there would be a Wolverine movie, I was thrilled. It could mean only one thing, I mused. They were going to film Barry Windsor-Smith’s excellent Weapon X. I mean, what else was there? Wolverine had tons … Continue reading →

I finally got around to watching Special – an indie flick written and directed by Hal Haberman and starring Michael Rapaport. I briefly mentioned this movie back in 2006 and it has been on my list of things to watch … Continue reading →

The Matrix movies usually have a special place in hearths of most of us geeks. They are peculiar breed because they get so much stuff right, and so much stuff wrong about computers at the same time. Let me give … Continue reading →

I really don’t know why do I continue to watch Hollywood movies. 90% of the blockbusters out there are total crap. Stuff that is actually worth watching is incredibly rare. I would say that you probably won’t find more than … Continue reading →

I want to know who made the trailers for The Happening. That guy needs an award! Or at least a raise, and his own corner office with a window (or two). I usually consider people who work in marketing as … Continue reading →

As you may, or may not know I have been watching Firefly lately. Actually, watching is the wrong word here. I have been savoring them. Normally when I find a show that I really like I gorge on it like … Continue reading →

Sequels always suck. No exceptions. Lord of the Rings is not an exception to this rule, because while it is broken up into 3 parts, it is really a single movie. It was shot and produced as a whole by … Continue reading →

I saw Live Free or Die Hard few days ago and I must say that I’m really glad that I did not actually waste money to see this piece of crap on the big screen. My gut instinct is to … Continue reading →

How would I describe this movie in one sentence? Let’s see. Maybe “Groundhog Day on Crack”? Hmmm… No that’s not it. In fact it’s not even close. The movie does bring up similar questions about time, chance, cause and effect … Continue reading →
