The following article was originally published on 12ftdwende.com on 19 March 2010. Dear Mr. Cameron, Firstly: big fan. Seen most of your movies (have yet to track down Piranha II: The Spawning, but will most definitely get around to it) and have enjoyed all I have seen.

This article was originall published on 12ftdwende.com on 19 August 2011 I think remakes get a bad rap. It’s true that the sheer volume of remakes out there indicate a lack of originality in the film industry (or, more aptly, a lack of will to finance originality), but they’re not all bad. Three movies were … Continue reading →

Like Crazy (2011) – So this is a movie I was looking forward to that ended up just sort of leaving me cold. In movies like Star Trek, Fright Night, and even the otherwise lousy Terminator: Salvation, Anton Yelchin has proven himself to be a very charismatic young actor and I was looking forward to … Continue reading →

The Social Network (2010) — SECOND REVIEW [Blu Ray] A lot has been made since this film’s initial release about what really happened and what was invented. Although I may sound like a broken record since I bring this up every single time such a “controversy” arises, who the hell cares? A good movie is … 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 Final Destination (2009) — SECOND REVIEW [HBO]: Ah, the glory of watching a 3D movie in 2D. Not something like The Last Airbender where they hastily converted the 2D movie to 3D in post-production, but a movie conceived to exploit gimmicky 3D “throw shit at the camera” techniques. It’s all very silly when the … Continue reading →
