Aliens (1986) – Sequels suck, or so they say. I personally believe that blanket statements are always wrong. ALWAYS. (See what I did there?)

The Godfather Part II won the Academy Award for Best Picture and is considered by many (yours truly included) … Continue reading →

Spider-Man 2 (2004) – There is no more ridiculous blanket statement that permeates the world of film snobbery than “sequels suck.” If you say that, you don’t know what the fuck you are talking about. Yeah, many series have a case of diminishing returns as they go on and on, but there are sequels that … Continue reading →

Avatar (2009) — SECOND REVIEW [Blu Ray] So I saw this movie for the first (and until now only) time almost a year ago on IMAX in 3D. Now that the deluxe super tricked-out blu ray edition has come out the time came to see if it held up at home in one less dimension. … Continue reading →

The Thing (1982) — So the second film in my Halloween Movie Marathon [last week] was one of my all-time favorites: John Carpenter’s The Thing.

Toy Story 2 (1999) — The Godfather Part II, The Silence of the Lambs, Terminator 2: Judgment Day: all part of that rare fraternity of sequels that surpass the quality of the original (though some would exclude Lambs due to technicalities). Toy Story 2 is another. Toy Story is a masterpiece, and to one-up it … Continue reading →
