Review: ‘Tooth & Nail’ on DVD

If you’re like me (that’s a scary thought) … you went and saw Doomsday when it came out, expected something really new and cool, but left the theatre wanting more. That is, wanting more than …

Review: ‘Blood & Chocolate’ on DVD

Blood & Chocolate was directed by Katja von Garnier (Bandits). Aside from the really bad title (although it does make sense once you’ve seen the movie), it isn’t a complete failure. The one decent thing …

Review: ‘The Orphanage’ on DVD

Travis:
Guillermo del Toro must have a special fondness to creepy ghost stories involving children, because he’s attached to some of the best. Guillermo first ventured into this territory with The Devil’s Backbone (2001) and then …

Review: ‘Shrooms’ on DVD

Having never done “shrooms” myself, I can only speculate on the true effects of the “all natural” party fungi. However, I can certainly tell you that watching this movie puts me off the idea of …

Review: ‘Beowulf’

Zac:
Let’s get one thing out of the way, if you see this, see it in IMAX 3-D. The 3-D is phenomenal and a must see for anyone that enjoys film or wants to see the …

Review: ‘Black Sheep’

Recently I rented the movie Black Sheep.
This is where you say, “Oh, the one with Chris Farley? Yeah, I’ve seen that, it’s a classic!”
And I say, “Nooo, This is a movie that was made in …

Review: ‘Undead or Alive’ on DVD

Undead or Alive, directed by Glasgow Phillips, who previously has written for South Park, is an unGodly awful piece of film. How bad … I’ve had more fun examining lint I pulled from my pants …

Review: ‘Lars and the Real Girl’ on DVD

Zac:
Ryan Gosling is fantastic in this quirky, silly, and a bit ridiculous coming of age story. Lars is lonely, damaged, quiet, shy, and avoids human contact pretty much whenever possible. He in a normal job, …

Review: ‘Spiral’ on DVD

Spiral (2007) is one of those films that is different from what you expect. Its one of those little independent films that catches you by surprise with its creative approach to a standard genre. The …

Review: ‘The Deaths of Ian Stone’ on DVD

The Deaths of Ian Stone was one of the eight 2007 Horrorfest films released in theatres, continuing a renewed interest in original horror. This is actually the first of the eight that I’ve seen, having …

Review: ‘Sketchflick’ on DVD

[Editor’s Note: After reviewing this post, it has come to my attention that I misused the term “improvisational” in reviewing this movie. I wish to clarify that this movie is a scripted sketch comedy and, …

Review: ‘Descent’ on DVD

Review: ‘Cashback’ on DVD

Zac:
Sean Ellis’ latest is a feature length version of an Oscar nominated short film of the same name and sadly, I imagine it worked far better in the short subject format. This whole film seems …
