Into The Blue

January 10, 2006 // 0 Comments

A couple of rain-soaked Pacific Northwest winters ago, I decided to pop in the DVD of "Blue Crush" to temporarily relieve my winter blahs. What unfolded in front of me was pure escapism at its best featuring tropical settings, not found in my [...]

Scarred

January 4, 2006 // 0 Comments

About three quarters of the way through Scarred, I found myself physically squirming in my seat, watching in utter shock as a pretty, young female loses a hard-fought battle with a grotesque, backwoods monstrosity. Unraveling in slow, unflinching detail, [...]

Four Brothers

John Singleton blends blaxploitation and his love of the spaghetti western theme to produce an original spin on the typical revenge plotted story with his latest film "Four Brothers". Set in Detroit's mostly blue collar neighborhoods, four [...]

Considered a darling of the film festival circuit and applauded by critics alike, I found "Stillwater", the directorial feature film debut from Adrian Kays to be relatively shallow and uninspired. The setting of the Deep South offered a nice [...]

If you dig fist fights, casual sex, beer, rough and rowdy language, oh and cheering for your favorite football team (soccer for us North Americans), then this British tale "The Football Factory", based on the bestselling novel by John King, [...]

Dead And Breakfast

December 21, 2005 // 0 Comments

In the comedy horror spirit inspired by the likes of "Evil Dead" and more recently "Shaun Of The Dead", "Dead And Breakfast" has an uphill battle to achieve the notoriety of those two films. The plot is pretty simple. While [...]
