X-Men: Days of Future Past (2014) – People who know me know this about me: I love comic books. That being said I am far from an expert in Marvel. My preferences tend to run more towards DC (my reasoning, which my fellow geeks could debate for ages, is that Marvel focuses on human drama … Continue reading →

Final Destination 5(2011) – In know all the stuff about “sequels suck” and blah blah blah but the slasher genre isn’t exactly one that was overly sophisticated to begin with. The value in the sequels (and why slasher flicks are that rare genre where many sequels wind up being more entertaining than the original) is in … Continue reading →

Prometheus (2012) – Ridley Scott has not made a science fiction movie in 30 years, since his unparalleled masterpiece Blade Runner. Almost as good (and definitely more popular) is Scott’s second-best film Alien. Alien kicked off a franchise given us the great sequel Aliens, the sequel which I like (though few others seem to) Alien … Continue reading →

Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace (1999) – I read an article the other day that said that Chris Brown will be appearing on an upcoming single by Rihanna. I thought “girl, what is wrong with you? That guy beat the shit out of you and you’re working together?” If I may deeply offend my … Continue reading →

The Thing (2011) – John Carpenter’s 1982 thriller The Thing is one of my all-time favorite movies. That means I have a pretty strong bias and a natural predisposition to hate this movie. By comparison, it is nothing but a pale imitation. The suspense of Carpenter’s film (or Howard Hawks and Christian Nyby’s 1951 The … Continue reading →

Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem (2007) — This movie just about is the unwatchable piece of dogshit it’s made out to be. Alien Vs. Predator was a flawed and mediocre movie but every flaw it had seems to have been overcorrected here in the opposite direction to the point where it sucks even worse. In Alien … Continue reading →

Alien Vs. Predator (2004) — This movie isn’t quite the unwatchable dogshit some have made it out to be, but it is profoundly mediocre at almost every turn. The combination of the two franchises is one highly anticipated by geeks ever since that alien skull donned the hunter’s trophy wall in Predator 2. This movie … Continue reading →
