Star Wars: The Dark Redemption (1999) Movie Review
For fans who can’t wait for next year’s “Episode III”, this fan-made offering should help tide them over for the next several months. While not on par with the official films, “Star Wars: The Dark Redemption” is well done and more ambitious than most amateur fan films. It’s an enjoyable, albeit brief, treat for fans [...]

The makers of “Godsend” should be arrested for false advertising, as this film is anything but godly. A dreary and dull piece of work, its only saving grace is the performance of Robert DeNiro; otherwise, it’s a supernatural misfire that squanders an excellent cast and an intriguing idea.
Paul (Greg Kinnear) and Jessie Duncan (Rebecca [...]
Halloween 3: Season of the Witch (1982) Movie Review
“Halloween III” has long been viewed as the bastard child of the “Halloween” series and is frequently the subject of scorn and derision. Michael Myers is glaringly absent, replaced by an entirely new set of circumstances that have little relation to the previous two films. Nevertheless, the third entry is a fair horror flick, although [...]

“Full Eclipse” offers an extremely clever premise: an elite task force of police officers who literally hunt criminals. Oh, and they happen to be werewolves to boot. Although slick and entertaining, it’s too bad “Full Eclipse” is never able to live up to its innovative concept and become a superior werewolf movie.
The movie follows [...]
Taking Lives (2004) Movie Review
Moviegoers have always had a perverse fascination with serial killers and their heinous acts. The concept of someone hunting their own species attracts audiences like Paris Hilton to a photo-op. “Taking Lives” tries to offer a new twist on the genre, and even though it only partially succeeds, it’s still an entertaining thriller.
The title [...]
Halloween 7: H20 (1998) Movie Review
At first glance, the 20th anniversary “Halloween” film should have been spectacular. It boasted a story by Kevin Williamson, whose work on “Scream” made him hotter than First Baptist Hell. Jamie Lee Curtis (”True Lies”) was returning to the role of Laurie Strode after a long absence, and her supporting cast of Josh Harnett, Michelle [...]

Most people barely remember this offering, which aired back in November of 1978 and was never repeated again. There’s a reason for it being kept under wraps, mostly because it wasn’t exactly “Star Wars”‘ finest hour and proved to be a colossal embarrassment to the fledgling franchise. But thanks to eBay and a few savvy [...]

There have been a lot of serial killer films, but none about a killer that hunts other serial killers instead of innocent victims. “Suspect Zero” presents that scenario and manages a fine job of making a believable and chilling film. But while the film scores major points for originality and terrific performances, the execution does [...]

Probably the most amazing thing about “Kichiku” is not the amount of gore, but the fact that it was made by a third year college student name Kazuyoshi Kumakiri, whose skill at depicting the deterioration of a group belies his inexperience. But the film’s main flaw is that the director overdoses on the graphic violence, [...]

For Godzilla’s 20th film, Toho brought the old stalwart MechaGodzilla out of mothballs to serve as the Big G’s adversary. This could be problematic, as MechaGodzilla has appeared in two previous films and two more since. Surprisingly, the result is not the stale monster rehash you’d expect, but rather a fresh and entertaining entry in [...]
