Alone in the Dark

Posted on May 12, 2005 by Joel Hilke

Alone in the Dark is somehow feels like watching three hours of a 90 minute movie. It’s one of the biggest piles of garbage that Christian Slater ever found after falling out a NYC window into a garbage bin. Not … Continue reading →

Assault on Precinct 13

Posted on January 29, 2005 by Joel Hilke

Assault on Precinct 13 wasn’t that bad. All in all, the original 1970s version was better in terms of building the tension and payoff but this one had a lot better acting and a lot more starpower (that is, it … Continue reading →

Incredibles, The

Posted on November 6, 2004 by Joel Hilke

The Incredibles is a great flick. It’s one of the best (if not THE best) superhero movie and it’s ALSO the best Bond movie in a long long time too. In fact, it’s so James Bond that it even has … Continue reading →

Van Helsing

Posted on May 9, 2004 by Joel Hilke

Van Helsing is a very loud, very obnoxious, very chaotic, very noisy movie. Characters yelled a lot, there was a bunch of mind-numbing action, cgi creatures, and then it was over and I was fine with that. Pretty good FX … Continue reading →

Texas Chainsaw Massacre, The

Posted on October 25, 2003 by Joel Hilke

Good looking and very bad movie. Not much of a remake – which is fine since why bother remaking the exact film – but they missed what made the first movie effective – and almost unwatchable. Paranoia and claustrophobia – … Continue reading →

Matchstick Men

Posted on September 13, 2003 by Joel Hilke

Matchstick Men is a good conman/grifter movie. Wished I hadn’t figured out one of the big surprises early on as I’d have liked it more if I’d been more surprised. Which isn’t to say it’s not a great movie – … Continue reading →

Freddy vs. Jason

Posted on August 16, 2003 by Joel Hilke

Freddy vs. Jason is one heck of a gore-fest. Far gorier than the last Friday the 13th movie – even Jason X has some nasty gore – but it was nothing like the buckets of blood this one had. Is … Continue reading →

Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life

Posted on July 26, 2003 by Joel Hilke

Tomb Raider: Cradle of Life is pretty much just a bad movie. It isn’t without a squeak of merit but you have to go digging (hah!) to find it. It seems to be confused and thinks its something of a … Continue reading →

2 Fast 2 Furious

Posted on July 21, 2003 by Joel Hilke

2 Fast 2 Furious was just stupid. Not stupid in a good way like the first flick – it was just stupid with a stupid and very generic crime plot. Seen it before and it was done better then – … Continue reading →

Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines

Posted on July 3, 2003 by Joel Hilke

T3 is the difference between a great director and an OK director. A good script and a weak script. Great cinemicrography and ok cinematography. In other words, it’s ok. Its disappointing but not unexpectedly so. Lots of things explode a … Continue reading →
