Director: Nimród Antal The Predators are back, and this time I do not feel like punting them back to their twisted little planet! Cause–let’s be honest–AVP and AVP 2 were like pushing your forehead to a nail gun and squeezing the trigger. Predator 2 was not that good either but I am such an [...] Director: Jean-Marc Vallée For whatever reason, after seeing this film it was clear to me that the story lacked substance, or rather…build up. It was an interesting story that overall still seemed bland and lacked any form of climax, and yet, I still felt the desire to watch it all the way through the [...] Director: Vincenzo Natali The newest addition to sci-fi films done right got its release this weekend (as of 6.7.10) and it goes by the name of Splice. A thriller regarding two brilliant scientists exploring the realm of cloning and insistent on using human genes, even if illegitimately. When their experiment proves successful, Klive Nicoli [...] Director: Alejandro Springall Esperanza lost her daughter! She took her to the hospital and left her there overnight for the removal of her tonsils. Routine procedure. And yet, when she returns the following day, the pre-teen is already in a coffin, wrapped up and under a hazard seal labeling her contagious. All Esperanza can [...] Director: Nicolas Winding Refn Michael Peterson (Tom Hardy; Layer Cake, RocknRolla) just wants to be famous. He knew he was destined for something big but he was born into mundane circumstances, to a nondescript family and really…he has a temper. What starts as bad behavior in school, petty thievery and yard fights, develops into [...] Director: Quentin Tarantino Quentin Tarantino what Quentin Tarantino does best, but somehow this film got blown up with hype and tossed into nominations for Best Film which I am not sure are deserved. While I did enjoy this film as I tend to enjoy most Tarantino films; while it is entertaining and fun to [...] Good things come in threes–or is that bad things? No matter, the point is that today, I have three reviews for you, all of them being for documentaries regarding Iraq. I actually watched all three of these, back to back, which was a pretty cool experience in and of itself, considering how much of the [...] Director: Terry Gilliam You sort of have to know what you are getting into when you go see a Terry Gilliam film, otherwise you are going to run out of there feeling like you want to thump somebody’s butt with your boot. The fact is, from my experience, that Gilliam tends [...] Director: Michel Gondry All that Elroy Fletcher (Danny Glover; Blindness) has that comes close to a claim to fame is that Fats Waller, a famous jazz player, once lived in the corner apartment that is now both his house and his movie rental business. At a time when everybody has moved on to DVD [...] And as promised, here is the second part of that movie dump I promised. This ought to catch me up with my movies and hopefully I can skim a little less when reviewing the next one. Thank you for your patience! -Fco.
