Great thriller movies are tough to make. The debut film by a director is also tough to make. Combine the two and it is easy to see why Jake Goldberger (who also wrote the screenplay) seemingly had the cards stacked against him before his 2009 release [...]

Flash Gordon

Most people would probably refer to "Flash Gordon: Saviour Of The Universe" as a guilty pleasure, but not me. I love the film and I'm proud of it. It is a true comic book fantasy springing to life and one of the most colorful retro-films [...]

The third season of 'Ice Road Truckers' brings its dangerous, heavy hauling to Alaska's North Slope to see the truckers handle a new set of land. The goal is to get the loads from Fairbanks to Deadhorse, an Alaskan city on the cusp of the [...]

War Of The Worlds

Well I guess, actually I know, that I will be in the minority here when I say that the latest film from Steven Spielberg, a remake of the 1953 classic that is loosely based on H.G. Wells novel "War of the Worlds" was to me, quite enjoyable. This [...]

Starting in the early 60s, a film genre manifested itself in Italy that is since known as "Spaghetti Westerns". One of the superstars to come out of this genre is Clint Eastwood, the nameless star in a number of Sergio Leone's films. After [...]

Alice In Wonderland

When Tim Burton touches a movie project, it is practically guaranteed to have a very distinctive look and feel and also to be outside the realm of what most people would call traditional. When he tackled the classic C.S. Lewis story "Alice In [...]

Caddyshack

"Caddyshack" marked Harold Ramis' directorial debut, giving him the chance to expand on his comedic talents behind the camera after having been part of the "Second City" ensemble for two years. It turned out to be a stepping stone [...]

Black Dynamite

In an era where movies are continually reimagined and remade, it is nice to see there are still filmmakers who are simply inspired. Michael Jai White, Byron Minns, and Scott Sanders obviously have a deep love for blaxsploitation films of yesteryear. [...]
