Road House 2

August 1, 2006 // 0 Comments

Taking place roughly 17 years after the original "Road House, " we get "Road House 2, " a bland, unexciting, direct to video "sequel" to the campy classic that starred Patrick Swayze. You only have to take a glimpse at the [...]

"The best way to get ahead in business is to keep your own!" So reads the tagline for "Headhunter, " a low-budget horror film from Xenon Entertainment. Like most direct-to-DVD shockers, this one is pretty ridiculous and, worst of all, [...]

Final Destination 3

July 25, 2006 // 0 Comments

The teen slasher genre is a fascinating one that is difficult to evaluate without seeming to overanalyze. It is a type of film that is aimed squarely at teenagers who apparently demand little from it in the way of intelligence, and who likewise are [...]

Tim Burton's version of the American fairy tale of the Headless Horseman by Washington Irving, "Sleepy Hollow" is an atmospheric film, richly textured and carefully orchestrated. Of course, I was eager to see how this beautiful film would [...]
