Alien 3 (1992) – So in 2003 the Alien series came out in a deluxe edition box set somewhat stupidly called the Alien “Quadrilogy.” (Quartet. The fucking word is quartet.) Ridley Scott came out with a new Director’s Cut of Alien. James Cameron supervised the restoration of his Director’s Cut of Aliens. Jean-Pierre Jeunet created … 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 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 →

Predators (2010) — Finally! This is the first Predator sequel that actually lives up to the potential of the franchise (still not as good as the first one though). It’s definitely got flaws (Adrian Brody as a badass?) but nothing that isn’t made up for by the awesomeness of predators hunting and killing people in … Continue reading →
