The Final Inquiry (2006) Movie Review
Okay, an admission right up front, this review contains spoilers for the film The Final Inquiry. Here it comes… Ready? Jesus dies. If that doesn’t shock or surprise you then absolutely nothing else about this movie will. It is, very nearly, the most mediocre film, ever. It’s not good, it’s [...]

Shortly into the “Burn Notice” Season 2 premiere episode, Sam Axe (Bruce Campbell) is caught enjoying a cup of java in the apartment of the show’s hero, Michael Weston (Jeffrey Donovan), to which Sam comments (something to the effect of), “I didn’t expect to see you back so soon.” I share Sam’s confused reaction to [...]

In the 70s Dario Argento’s films married two unlikely things-lurid violence and gorgeous visuals. His vibrant set design, use of color and imaginative direction made him a hit with both horror fans and critics. Many believe his best film is Suspiria, the story of a young girl trapped in a dance school where strange [...]

“The Ghost Snatchers” was originally released back in 1986 when the Hong Kong ghost boom was in full swing, with filmmakers still desperate to cash in on the success of Sammo Hung’s classic “Spooky Encounters” and the hit “Mr Vampire” series. The film was directed by genre veteran Lam Nai Choi, also responsible for the [...]

“And the Spring Comes” is Sixth Generation Mainland Chinese director Gu Changwei’s second outing, and the follow up to his widely acclaimed, award winning debut “Peacock”. Casting his own wife in the decidedly unglamorous lead role, he again explores rather grim themes of conformity and selfishness, though at the same time somehow manages to give [...]

Martial arts fans have a reason to be excited this month with the re-release of “Lady Whirlwind”, a classic slice of old school action from 1972 featuring the incomparable Angela Mao. Thankfully the film has retained its original title, rather than its bizarre and misleading Western moniker “Deep Thrust: The Hand of Death”, with which [...]

Have you ever been to a coffee shop or diner and noticed one of the desserts under glass that’s never been touched? The donuts that look like they’ve been there a few days? Or, maybe it’s a blueberry pie that stands alone, ignored by the very suitors it targets, the hungry human patron. It seems [...]

Talk about a bad rep. No, not Hancock the drunken superhero’s – I’m talking about “Hancock” the movie. Peter Berg’s drunken superhero movie hasn’t exactly been embraced by movie reviewers on or off-line, and the main bone of contention seems to be its haphazardly written and executed Plot Twist, which occurs about halfway into the [...]

Studios like an actor who is a “sure thing,” and Will Smith is one of those. He’s an extremely bankable superstar who is seemingly loved by all age groups and ethnicities, because he’s likable. Look at his top four grossing films, ranked in order from highest to lowest, “Independence Day,” “I Am Legend,” “Men in [...]

Peter Berg’s upcoming “Hancock” is the only comic book superhero movie not based on an actual comic book, and from all the advance reviews we’ve read on the movie, the film has an apparently very spectacular blah Third Act, i.e. the final 20-30 minutes of the film goes so far off the track that many [...]
