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 →

The Ward (2010) – This movie has a “twist” ending and you can guess it pretty much from the beginning. I rolled my eyes and said “aw, man, in the end it’s going to turn out [REDACTED].” Surely enough it did turn out [REDACTED] but I didn’t mind so much as my eye-rolling predictions would … Continue reading →

The Signal (2007) — This indie flick (Movie #3 in my Halloween Film Fest) is an odd one. On the surface it has a very similar premise to the Stephen King novel Cell and the George Romero movie The Crazies. Execution is where it goes its own way. In essence, all television radio and phone … Continue reading →

The Crazies (2010) — SECOND REVIEW [Blu Ray]: So on this recent re-viewing I found myself debating whether I prefer crazies to zombies (as far as movie entertainment is concerned. Presented with either in reality, I’m sure I’d just shit myself and run away). Zombies have their numbers and status as a modern classic movie … Continue reading →
