Clifford’s Really Big Movie

September 24, 2004 // 0 Comments

When it comes to children’s series, ’Clifford The Big Red Dog’ may not immediately jump to your mind but nonetheless this quality PBS series has now received its very own feature film. And a very good one at that. ’Clifford’s Really Big [...]

Mean Girls

September 22, 2004 // 0 Comments

Rated PG-13 for Sexual Content, Language & Some Teen Partying. Funny as I didn’t realize that ’Teen Partying’ was something the MPAA concerned itself with. Strange how the first laugh in ’Mean Girls’ takes place even before the film begins. [...]

Many fans of the series would agree that during Angel’s five-year run, season four was it’s strongest. It was the first, and only, time that the series made a drastic change in format. Nearly all episodes, 22 in total, ran along a single continuous [...]

Stefan Avalos, one of the two minds behind the sensational indie-movie ’The Last Broadcast,’ is back with a new horror film. Once again shot as a low budget film on digital cameras, Avalos is drawing somewhat from his own experience in this film, [...]

The Punisher

"Those who do evil to others – the killers, the rapists, psychos, sadists, will come to know me well. Frank Castle is dead. Call me the Punisher." Those who are familiar with the hit Marvel Comics series will know Frank Castle very well [...]

September 3, 2004 // 0 Comments

Like the western Mafia movies, Asian cinema has a fascination for its gangster films. Whether it’s the Triad films from Hong Kong or the Yakuza movies from Japan, they always hit a popular nerve with audiences. Kinji Fukasaku’s ’Graveyard Of [...]

The Wrong Man
