Saw the new Simon Pegg sci-fi alien encounter comedy (partially filmed at Comic Con!) For a movie genetically designed for me to like it, boy was this not a funny movie. I was surprised by how much fun I wasn’t … Continue reading
This is a better than expected revisionist retelling of Little Red Riding Hood… It’s hardly perfect and gets a little long but I’ve seen a lot worse. My, what big eyes Amanda Seyfried has… not a bad little movie even … Continue reading

Saw the film Skyline which, surprisingly, isn’t a movie about chili (Cincinnati-style chili joke – har har)… it’s a rather pedestrian alien invasion flick that thinks its A LOT better than it is. Definitely a flick done on a budget … Continue reading
Monsters is a super-low-budget ($15,000) movie filmed on digital with consumer-grade FX. It’s about the results of a space probe that crashes in Mexico and the giant squid-monsters that appear after. The US and Mexican government have quarantined part of … Continue reading
