Freddy Vs. Jason

December 16, 2005 // 0 Comments

This is a movie where I may lose a lot of reader respect. Call it a guilty pleasure if you wish, but I love "Freddy Vs. Jason". Both series have been on a downward spiral for some time, and the thought of merging the two seemed like a huge [...]

Pulp Fiction

December 15, 2005 // 0 Comments

The lives of two mob hitmen, a boxer, a gangster's wife, and two small-time diner bandits intertwine in four tales of violence and redemption. "Pulp Fiction" is all of this, and so much more. And now it's deliciously available on the [...]

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre

I can't even begin to explain how upset I was when I found out the horror classic "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" was being remade. Michael Bay's name being attached just added fuel to the fire. Then I saw the trailer. Leave it to the [...]

Halloween

"Halloween" is the first movie I ever remember seeing. I walked in on my parents watching the movie with friends during the 'closet scene' towards the end of the movie. The horrific image of Michael Myers' white mask stuck with me [...]

Ghost In The Shell

How do you eat an elephant? Given all of the information and philosophy tossed around in "Ghost In The Shell", it is odd that question is the one in my mind. My experience in the world of Anime is somewhat limited. I am aware of the bigwigs in [...]
