Halloween 2 (1981) Movie Review
After “Halloween” proved to be a critical and commercial hit, a sequel may have been inevitable, but it’s doubtful anyone ever expected it to be such a quality outing. While not in the same league as the original classic, the second entry in the “Halloween” series is still a well-made film that will inspire many [...]

Rarely has a film started behind the eight ball as much as “Exorcist: The Beginning”. Original director John Frankenheimer died before filming started, and lead Liam Neelson departed soon after. New director Paul Schrader completed the project, only to have his work junked by the producers, who started from scratch with third helmer Renny Harlin. [...]

While the title isn’t exactly original, the premise certainly is. “A.li.ce” is an all-CGI feature and it’s a fairly impressive looking movie that gets points for innovative thinking. While not in the same class as other, more advanced computer animated films, “A.li.ce” is still a worthy effort.
“A.li.ce” opens with a young man named Yuan [...]
Halloween 4: Return of Michael Myers (1988) Movie Review
Sick of Freddy and Jason getting all the attention, the producers of the “Halloween” series decided to return Michael Myers to the big screen in 1988. Apparently, they also decided to be ambitious and create a film on par with the original. They came close, succeeding in giving us a quality horror film that is [...]

Things weren’t always so good for Marvel Studios. Several years before they were making big budget blockbusters, they were reduced to cranking out television films for the Fox Network. A fair effort went into bringing Nick Fury, the famed S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, to life, but even so it never truly does justice to the legendary character. [...]

It’s difficult to say why writer/director Takashi Ishii (”Freeze Me”) decided to do a sequel to “Gonin”. While the original was a hit, moviegoers weren’t exactly rioting in the streets for a sequel, so the idea is probably as wise as letting Eminem grand marshal a Gay Pride parade. But one was made anyway, and [...]

After a nine year hiatus Godzilla stages a stunning comeback that restores his title as King of the Monsters. The filmmakers of “Godzilla 1985″ wisely ignored the 15 films made since the original “Godzilla”, ditching the excess baggage the other films brought in favor of a direct sequel to the first film. The result is [...]

The title of this Godzilla offering is a bit misleading. It makes it seem like Godzilla and Mothra are teaming up to save the planet, when in reality the two are still beating the crap out of each other in Japan and ignoring the rest of the world. Still, the film is fun to watch, [...]

After the disaster that was “Batman and Robin”, DC Comics tried to regain face with a live-action television pilot of their popular super team, the Justice League of America. Unfortunately, the finished product only made matters worse and was quickly shelved, never to see the light of day. But eBay shoppers and convention attendees can [...]

This entry in the popular monster series is a disappointing and flawed effort unworthy of the “Godzilla” name. Rampantly anti-Western and entirely unoriginal, “Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah” also makes the huge mistake of relegating its main star to the film’s third act. Instead of an exciting monster epic, we’re given a dull and mostly pointless [...]
