As I wrote in my Coming Attractions post, horror dealing with possession or satanic cults is horror that sticks with me when it is done well. Possession movies are most often a sub- set of the evil child movies. To be honest, I don’t normally care for evil child movies. It seems that many of [...]

Top 6 Cinematic Badasses

There are plenty of badasses in movie history, but only six can be the baddest assest of all. What makes a badass should be self-evident, but for this here list I’m going to boil it down to three criteria: 1) Ability to overcome obstacles using guile and cunning as well as force, 2) durability in [...]

‘At long last sir, have you no–*BLAM!!!!*’

Disney is attempting to make their classic (and still perfectly hilarious) content hipper, phatter and/or qualitatively phresher by adding douchebag overdubs to many of their timeless cartoons.

The Same Guys

Some weeks are better than others are for new releases. I had no intention of seeing Step Up 3D, so I thought I’d take a recommendation from one of the readers (Thanks, The Drummer from Def Leppard’s Arm) and check out The Other Guys.
