Review: Dawn of the Dead

Other Reviews

I will be honest here. I have always loved horror movies but never got around to seeing the original Dawn Of the Dead before the re-make. In the past, I had never really experienced any of the real famous zombie movies, such as The Night, Dawn, Day series, Zombie, etc. … Read more

Review: Death Race 2000

Other Reviews

In the days of 1975, a lot of shit was goin' down. I can't think of anything off the top of my head, but there was. Oh! Wait, that OPEC thing . . . no, that was early 80's. Whatever, stuff happened. Despite all this, Roger Corman came out with … Read more

Review: Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind

Other Reviews

WARNING TO READER: Potential spoilers ahead. This is more of an analysis than a review, though I do cover formal elements such as acting, direction, and plot. Just for a moment, engage in a thought process. Revive old memories through seemingly unrelated ones, relate them, and make sense of them. … Read more

Review: Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban

Other Reviews

'Dis a good movie. It has some flaws. Now that that is out of the way, I ask, does anybody actually take reviews into consideration? I guess Daniel Radcliffe's and Alfonso Cuaron's wages aren't really dependent on whether I give this movie good press or not, so I'm just going … Read more

Review: Hotel Rwanda

Other Reviews

*Disclaimer: This review has some specifics about certain scenes in the movie, so if you don't want to know anything about it before seeing, then don't read this. There are a lot of movies about war, about stuff blowing up and soldiers dying to save one another amidst a hail … Read more

Review: Kill Bill, Vol. 1

Other Reviews

As an employee of Blockbuster, it's easy to see that where moviegoing is concerned, there's always a bold line that separates the Happy Gilmores from the Punch-Drunk Loves. I'm referring specifically to those who think that Adam Sandler's career went downhill by starring in an ironically-labeled "stupid, pointless art film," … Read more

Review: Kill Bill, Vol. 2

Other Reviews

One of the things I admire the most about Quentin Tarantino's writing, which is particularly evident in Kill Bill: Volume 1, is his ability to seamlessly combine the comedic with the dramatic, and the slow-paced with the fast-paced. A great example of the former is the scene where the bride, … Read more

Review: Napoleon Dynamite

Other Reviews

This is the best movie of the summer. There, I said it. Now, if you're a trusting individual you'll take my word for it, stop reading right here, and go out right now and buy your ticket for tonight's showing. But, if you're a skeptic, like myself, you probably are … Read more

Review: Super Size Me

Other Reviews

No matter which route we take to work each day it is highly probable that we will pass by the most widely recognized symbol in the entire galaxy: The Golden Arches. Proudly displayed beneath each pair is the approximate number of people who have contributed to McDonald's corporately sponsored march … Read more

Review: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2003

Other Reviews

In 1974, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre was released. The film became known for sparking a myriad of "slasher" films and cheese/camp horror, which is actually rather sad, since the films TCM often gets credit/blamed for are not all that relatable to Tobe Hooper's masterpiece. The comparisons are a mere symptom … Read more
